One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 146 145: Mist

It was getting late, the moon was rising over the river, and waves had suddenly appeared on the calm Jiuliwan.

The waves came in wave after wave from the outside.

There seemed to be countless fish riding on the waves. At the entrance of Jiuliwan, several boats were approaching in the night.

Hu Haitian felt a little angry and a little wary.

The Pinghai Gang was founded by him and Jiang Chenzhou. Although Jiang Chenzhou was the gang leader, he also put in enormous effort in it.

Now Jiang Chenzhou wants to open a mansion. If he succeeds, the Pinghai Gang will no longer be limited to this section of the river, but will become a large gang with Purple Mansion cultivators.

By then, my elder brother will become a Purple Mansion, and it will be easier for him to obtain resources for cultivation, and I will also have the opportunity to open my own mansion with the help of my elder brother.

However, the news that came one after another today made him think of a sentence.

Whenever one reaches a higher state, there will always be disasters.

Good fortune and misfortune are interdependent. If you can overcome them, you will be successful. If you cannot, not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, but also all your years of foundation and hard work will be wasted.

But the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot. In his opinion, the path of cultivation is like a competition among thousands of horses. There is only one small bridge in front of him. How can he give up now that he has reached the bridge?

Not to mention there is a glimmer of hope, even if there is no hope, we still need to touch it. Maybe if we touch it, a crack will appear, and hope will appear?

Hu Haitian was very clear about the Xu Tu Sect of Dianjin Mountain. When he and his elder brother were still fighting on this river, Dianjin Mountain had already been established. He also had dealings with the previous leader of the Xu Tu Sect.

But at that time, the leader of the Xu Tu Sect had already reached the foundation-building stage, while he and his eldest brother were merely Xuan Guang cultivators.

Now, the Xu Tu faction has a new leader, and he and his eldest brother have also established the Pinghai Gang.

He knew the magic of Touch Gold Mountain, which was either gold as the main and earth as the auxiliary, or earth as the main and gold as the auxiliary.

Now he knew Huangshi, who was mainly engaged in magic with metal as the auxiliary.

The nature of metal is good at killing.

Taoist Huangshi had many battles in this area when he was young, and they had encountered these enemies before, but they had never really fought each other.

One of the reasons is that Dianjin Mountain is mainly a sect, focusing on pure cultivation and teaching, but there are only three or five disciples. Even if there are people offering sacrifices, most of them face the south side of Dianjin Mountain. Dianjin Mountain and Pinghai River seem to have some kind of tacit understanding.

But this time, Dianjinshan stepped into the Pinghaijiang territory.

Moreover, he has sent someone to inform his eldest brother. He believes that his eldest brother must be on the way. Since Dianjinshan wants to take the lead, he must be suppressed to death in one go. If he cannot be suppressed, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction and cause other people to resist.

In the main hall of Liliang, Liang Hai sat there, watching Liang Zhong talking to Taoist Huang Shi.

Liang Shulin from the Shangwanliang family opposite was also there, occasionally saying a few words to praise Taoist Huangshi.

Liang Hai had seen Taoist Huangshi kill the water python that was as big as a water dragon with ease before, and he was filled with awe. For Sanliang, just that one water python was enough to cause unrest in Jiuliwan.

Taoist Huangshi is quite famous in this area. Although his deeds have rarely been heard in recent years, they had heard a lot about them when they were young.

"Master, the Pinghai Gang will never give up. Maybe tonight or tomorrow morning, someone from the Pinghai Gang will come..." Liang Shulin said carefully.

Liang Zhong interrupted, "With my uncle here, how dare they come again? Even if they come, they can't escape from my uncle's sword and won't get away with it."

When Taoist Huang Shi heard this, he pinched his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "I would like to meet the two leaders of the Pinghai Gang."

The families in Sanliang were extremely happy. They felt that they had found a backer. So Liang Zhong replied, "If we can get rid of the exploitation of the Pinghai Gang, we can send all the taxes to Dianjin Mountain this year."

Taoist Huangshi laughed and said, "Our practice is just about having clear thoughts. We can talk about everything later."

When Liang Hai heard this, he realized that this Taoist Huangshi might have other thoughts.

At this moment, some wind blew into the house. There had been some wind before, but the wind was blocked outside the house, and the lights in the house did not shake. But at this time, the wind was like a thief. It came in through the crack in the door, turned a corner, found a path, and came all the way to the innermost room.

The candles in the room were blown out by the wind, and it became dark for a moment, but soon the light came on again.

That's sword light.

The sword flashed across the suddenly darkened room.

The sword hums loudly and the wind hisses.

The three Liang family heads hurriedly stood up and hid aside. They saw the sword light jumping and slashing back and forth, and there seemed to be a dark thing in the wind that wanted to pounce on everyone, but was blocked by the sword light again and again.

However, this sudden fierce fight came and went quickly, the wind and the black mass retreated, and the room was bright again.

Liang Hai saw that the wine table had been dispersed, obviously killed by the sword light. Taoist Huangshi stood there, looking fine, but with a slightly frown on his face, as if he was thinking deeply about something.

At this time, someone came to report that there was a heavy fog outside.

When they went out to look, they saw a dim moon in the sky, but a thick fog had risen on the river, covering the entire river surface. Even the settlements of the Shangwanliang and Xiawanliang families could not be seen.

In the past, at night, as long as the other two houses had lights on, you could see the flashing lights from afar.

"Someone cast a spell and created fog that covers this area." Liang Shulin said.

At this time Liang Zhong said: "The second leader of the Pinghai Gang has the ability to stir up trouble and spread fog to confuse the gods."

When he said this, he looked at Taoist Huangshi.

Taoist Huangshi was dressed in an apricot-yellow robe, with an ochre-yellow light protecting his body. It was obvious that he was also an experienced man in the martial arts world and knew that in everything he had to protect himself first in order to be invincible.

He looked at the thick fog on the river and said, "I heard about this man's abilities when I was in the mountains, but I never saw him with my own eyes. I underestimated him. Although this kind of magic is not good for direct combat, it can still be a nuisance if you just hide and don't come out."

Liang Zhong wanted to say that this second gang leader would be truly terrifying when he joined forces with their big gang leader.

Otherwise, they would not have been able to dominate the Pinghai River in such a short period of time.

But he stopped talking because he was afraid that if he said the Pinghai Gang was too powerful, Taoist Huangshi would be unwilling to help him, and that would be the end of the matter.

"However, you don't have to worry. Just stay by my side and the enemy won't be able to hurt you. When the day breaks, the fog will naturally thin out in the sunlight. Then we can deal with him."

Taoist Huangshi was also a little helpless. The other party was hiding in the fog, and he couldn't find him for a while. He couldn't find him. Even if his sword was sharp, how much fog could it cut?
He couldn't help but think that he had heard that in some big sects, people would raise and refine swords from the moment they joined the sect, and then use the Golden True Evil to build their foundation. The talismans on their bodies contained many Dharma properties, and no matter what was covering them, they could not hide from the eyes of the sword practitioners.

Even if you cover your eyes, you cannot hide from his sword heart. Once his sword heart moves, he can kill the enemy on Mount Sumeru. No matter how the opponent hides, he cannot escape.

Even if he was watched like this, no matter what kind of changes he made, he would involuntarily reveal his true form. Of course, he had only heard about it and had never seen it with his own eyes. And in the talisman he made, there were two original Dharma attributes, namely earth and gold.

These two Dharma natures allow him to control earth and swords, and the method of cultivation gives him two more Dharma natures, sharpness and tenacity.

The sword-wielding skills he learned were called "The True Art of Wielding the Sword to Cut the Wind" and "The Magical Method of Creating Gold from Earth", but he was quite helpless about this fog. That was why he had never set foot on the Pinghai River while staying at Dianjin Mountain. This time, he tried it and found that his opponent was indeed formidable.

Liang Hai and Liang Shulin were secretly anxious because their family residence was shrouded in fog and they didn't know what was happening.

However, Liang Shulin was more anxious than Liang Hai, because Liang Hai knew that Zhao Fuyun was at home.

However, Liang Shulin's family didn't even hire anyone to offer sacrifices, and Monk Xuanguang was the only one with him, so how could he not be anxious?

At that moment, he said, "Master, I, I want to go back home first."

Taoist Huangshi pondered for a moment, took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve and said, "You can use my sword talisman to protect yourself along the way, and I will ensure that you will be safe."

"Thank you, Taoist Priest." Liang Shulin took the sword talisman from the other party, quickly retreated, and hurriedly went towards his home.

Soon, they heard someone calling a name in the fog.

First someone called Liang Zhong, who remained silent. Then someone called Liang Hai, who also remained silent. But not long after, someone called Liang Shulin's name again.

Liang Hai was worried because Liang Shulin had separated from the group, and he heard the voice calling Liang Shu's name change again and again, slowly turning into the voice of the other person's son.

Of course Liang Hai knew his son, the voice was especially similar.

The voice was that of someone calling "Father" and it was filled with fear, and it sounded as if someone was dragging him towards the surface of the river.

Liang Hai knew something was wrong and was about to warn Liang Shulin when he heard Liang Shu shouting in the mist: "Houzi, Houzi, what's wrong with you?"

"Master." Liang Zhong was also frightened. Although the three Liangs had some conflicts over the years, they were all descended from the same ancestor. He hoped that Taoist Huangshi could save him.

Taoist Huangshi snorted lightly. He was slightly angry in his heart. He was angry that Hu Haitian actually killed someone in front of him.

So he flew into the fog on his sword, sensing his sword talisman, and soon found a person.

The man stood there motionless. It was none other than Liang Shulin who had just left not long ago.

He walked over, reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, but the other person fell down in response to his hand.

At this time, a voice sounded in the fog: "Master Huangshi, Dianjin Mountain and Pinghai Gang have always been at peace with each other, but you suddenly intervened and caused the death of the head of the Shangliang family. This is all your fault."

Taoist Huangshi swung his sword in anger. A beam of sword light moved in a zigzag manner, cutting through a patch of fog. However, there was nothing under the sword, and he could not cut anything.

"I know a little bit about the sharpness of Dianjin Mountain's sword-wielding skills, but so what? Taoist priest, please return to Dianjin Mountain as soon as possible. We in the Pinghai Gang will pretend that nothing has happened. If you don't leave, Xialiang will be in trouble soon."

It was a voice in the fog, erratic and full of temptation.

Taoist Huang Shi sneered and said, "How can a mere technique of confusing the mind disturb my mind?"

He sneered in response in the fog and carried Liang Shulin's body towards the gate of the Liang family.

The lights were bright where Li Liang was, but they seemed insufficient in the fog. Liang Zhong and Liang Hai were standing in front of the door. In the house behind them, all the people of the Liang family gathered inside and did not dare to go out.

Taoist Huangshi saw that these people all had panic looks on their faces.

When Liang Zhong and Liang Hai saw Liang Shulin brought back by Huang Shi, they were shocked, and the people behind them even exclaimed.

Taoist Huang Shi shouted angrily: "You guys just stay in the house, don't panic, today I want to see what this Pinghai Gang can do to break through my sword."

He decided to have a good fight with Hu Haitian.

"It's all up to you, uncle." Liang Zhong bowed deeply.

He immediately ordered the family members to stay in the house and not come out.

Seeing Liang Shulin's current appearance, Liang Hai didn't dare to go back alone.

Just then, everyone saw a little light floating over from the direction of the lower beam.

Taoist Huangshi also squinted his eyes and looked at it, while the others stared at the floating light in silence.

When they got closer, they saw that it seemed to be a lamp, and there was a person holding the lamp.

Just now, Liang Shulin, wearing Taoist Huangshi's sword talisman for protection, walked into the fog, and soon his soul was taken away, and his life or death was unknown. But now, someone came out of the fog holding a lamp.

When they got closer, everyone could see clearly that the person holding the lantern was Liang Songzi.

"Songzi, why are you running around at this time? I'm under the protection of Taoist Huangshi. You don't need to worry." Liang Hai was about to go up to him, but Taoist Huangshi grabbed his shoulder and said, "Be patient."

"Who are you?" asked Taoist Huangshi.

"Master, this is my eldest son." Liang Hai said hurriedly.

"I heard that a fog ghost was integrated into the true evil spirit of Hu Haitian when he built his foundation. He followed the path of combining ghosts and evil spirits, so he is good at spreading fog to capture souls." Taoist Huangshi told the rumor he had heard.

At this time, Liang Songzi bowed to Taoist Huang Shi and said, "Greetings, Taoist. My brother who practiced in Tiandu Mountain is visiting me. He lit this lamp with his own hands. He said it can dispel delusion and ward off evil. Although I met someone who called my name on the road, I remembered Taoist Zhao's warning and did not answer. Please rest assured, Taoist."

What he meant was that he had the lamp to protect him and would not be possessed by ghosts.

Taoist Huangshi stared at the lamp and felt that the light was dazzling. After looking at it for a few more times, he actually felt as if his eyes were being burned.

I was secretly surprised and couldn't help but think: "Could it be that I really met a disciple with real talent and knowledge from a big sect?"

"Okay, Song'er, what are you doing here?" Liang Hai asked quickly.

"Master Zhao said that everyone should stay in the house and wait for him to break the opponent's spell." Liang Songzi said.

Taoist Huang Shi said, "Hu Haitian is hiding in the fog, so it is not easy to find him. If I can find him, I can kill him with one sword."

Just as he finished speaking, a spark of fire suddenly appeared in the fog above the river.

A clear voice sounded in the mist: "Burn!"

The little fire light suddenly flickered, and in the darkness, it was like a piece of black gauze burning, with the edge being stained by the flame and being burned. The flame spread and the darkness dissipated.
