Black Mountain Old Ghost
Chapter 731 The Fourth Stick of Incense (Four Updates Seeking Monthly Tickets)
From any perspective, the Meng family seemed to have become a joke, so much so that at first, even though Hu Ma wanted to interrogate the Meng family's master and find out how he had cultivated his Dao practice into nine incense pillars.
But in his heart, he also harbored disdain, thinking that it was just using some evil methods to the extreme, which led to the unattainable nine incense pillars of Dao practice.
And when the Meng family's master revealed everything, it was indeed related to the Meng family's ancestor, so Hu Ma discarded it aside.
He didn't delve into it.
It wasn't until Old Suanpan spoke of the orthodox method of cultivating Dao practice, the life-snatching method of walking the Yangguan Avenue, that he suddenly understood.
The Meng family's method was extremely wicked and filthy, but under this evil method, they had actually found the most orthodox method?
This was simply outrageous!
But precisely because of this, although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, he already had the knowledge and ability to discern, and he also felt that this outrageous thing was not without its reliable aspects.
The method was real, but there was a great difference in cultivation.
It was like the Meng family's method, which borrowed the power of the ancestor to enter the state of Zhongyin (intermediate existence between death and rebirth), and went to the heavens and earth to "borrow life" to achieve Dao practice.
Besides the Meng family, others could not worship the Meng family's ancestor, and naturally could not practice this method.
Including the Meng family, they hadn't really thought about the wonders of this method. After all, this method, in the end, borrowed the prestige of the ancestor to achieve success, so they were just thinking about how to use this borrowed destiny, how to better use these pillars of Dao practice...
...to betray the ancestor!
It was also in this pondering that an extremely brilliant method was gradually taking shape.
The difference between Hu Ma and the Meng family was that he couldn't ask the Meng family's ancestor to help him borrow life.
But he could sink himself into a life-and-death crisis and forcibly seize life.
The source of this Dao practice was different, but the condensation and use of the Dao practice were almost identical to the Meng family's.
This even belonged to the most orthodox method in the world. The law was on the body, upright and righteous, and no one could take it away.
At the thought of this, even Hu Ma felt a little emotional.
The Meng family probably didn't know before their extermination that their family already had a brilliant method comparable to the Ten Surnames.
Not just kowtowing!
The Meng family's master might have figured it out at the last moment, so he said those words to himself.
"Give it to me!"
In Hu Ma's roar, he startled away the thing that was looking at him from close range. The other party seemed to have already acknowledged Hu Ma's death, but he didn't expect an unexpected turn of events, and retreated in fright.
And at this moment, Hu Ma seemed to see a strange figure dressed in silk and satin. He was holding a scroll of documents in his hand, and his body was covered with strange eyes and heads, looking at himself with fear.
On the strange book in its hand, it was clear that it had added a few strokes to himself, but it didn't expect that he would open his eyes and forcibly disrupt this record. The words on the book began to disobey its orders.
Automatically changing, adding life to Hu Ma.
It also seemed extremely terrified, screaming silently, wanting to modify it, but in the end, facing Hu Ma's angry eyes, it quickly jumped away and hid in the deepest darkness of Zhongyin.
And Hu Ma didn't have time to think about what this was, just at this moment, he tried his best to open his eyes again.
The first time he opened his eyes, it was unconsciously, to regain his consciousness.
The second time he opened his eyes, it was from Zhongyin, back to the human world.
He came alive in the human world, and in his empty body, another pillar of Dao practice appeared out of thin air.
It was very weak, just an ordinary incense pillar, without purple aura, but it was definitely his own fourth incense pillar.
At this time, the Dawei Tiangong General's Dharma form was about to be pulled into the coffin. In the eyes of outsiders, Hu Ma was dead, silently, and no one could stop this from happening.
But unexpectedly, Hu Ma had already opened his eyes in the rolling flames, and at this time, because the Dawei Tiangong General's Dharma form had almost completely severed contact with him, the nail could not suppress him.
So Hu Ma held his breath, quickly observed his surroundings, and then unexpectedly, suddenly jumped up. In an instant, he sprayed true Yang Qi from his mouth, and the flames rolling around suddenly窜 jumped up, as high as three or four zhang, like a wall of fire.
And the lanterns floating in the air were also burned at once, creaking and falling with bits of fire.
The lanterns were burned, the ten gates returned to their proper positions, and Hu Ma once again clearly felt the surrounding directions.
"Not good..."
Seeing that his ten lanterns were burned, the one in the Harmful Head Gate immediately realized that something was wrong, and jumped to the side.
This jump was three or four zhang, and after rolling and crawling, he escaped more than ten zhang, turned his body halfway, ready to escape at any time, and then looked back.
At this time, Nuer Hong had also stopped the magic formula she was pinching in her hand.
It was clear that it was only a line away from being able to put away the Dawei Tiangong General's Dharma form, but she turned around and looked at Hu Ma in the field through the jumping flames. At this time, Hu Ma was also looking at her coldly, and both sides understood in their hearts.
With the ten gates returned to their proper positions, Hu Ma could summon the Town Evil Bureau.
And Nuer Hong, as someone who had boarded the bridge, had the ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. Although Hu Ma hadn't summoned them yet, she could feel that if she continued to seal the Dawei Tiangong General's Dharma form, then Hu Ma would also summon the Town Evil Bureau.
As for the result, it might just be that she died here, and the Dawei Tiangong General's Dharma form was taken back by Hu Ma, or it might be that she was injured, but still succeeded in taking back this thing.
That result was too vague, and with her current abilities, she couldn't see it clearly.
So, she couldn't gamble.
The two faced each other in silence, with crises lurking everywhere, only the fire was rolling around beside them, burning everything with a crackling sound.
"Gagaga..."
The sound of iron chains twisting and breaking rang out.
That was because Hu Ma woke up, Nuer Hong retracted her hand, and in the silent confrontation, the Dawei Tiangong General's Dharma form felt Hu Ma's existence and was actively returning to his body. This connection was even stronger than before, seemingly because of the addition of this incense pillar.
Nuer Hong's face was cold, and suddenly her slender hand moved slightly, and the red lines around her flicked.
Hu Ma didn't thank her, and suddenly took a step, his feet firmly planted, and bowed to the other party from afar.
Four Ghosts Salute the Gate.
Now the Dharma form was nailed down, but the skills and abilities he learned when climbing the ladder were still on his body.
Moreover, after Bottleneck Master's guidance, every move and every stance of Hu Ma's was perfect. Although he only had one pillar of Dao practice, with just a slight bow, a rolling evil wind suddenly blew up around him, engulfing the surrounding flames and burning them all towards Nuer Hong.
The momentum was so great that it actually had a shocking meaning. In an instant, it had swallowed all the land in front of her.
In the next moment, he had already silently chanted a spell in his mouth, preparing to summon the Golden Armor Warrior and bring the Town Evil Gold Mace over.
"Life outside of life, you have indeed embarked on this path."
But unexpectedly, Nuer Hong flicked her red line, but instead of making a move, she retracted the red line, one by one, all shrinking back and wrapping around her left arm.
At the moment when the red line was retracted, the huge black coffin suddenly fell backward, but disappeared at the moment of landing, and the white bone beans she had scattered were also collected back into her sleeves, one by one.
Her figure retreated lightly, avoiding the evil flames caused by the Four Gates Saluting, and it looked as if she had been forced back by this move.
It was just that her expression was indifferent, without any panic, but her gaze had been fixed on Hu Ma, her voice was cold, and although she was now more than ten zhang away, every word seemed to be on the opposite side of Hu Ma, speaking clearly:
"You are lucky today, but what is not yours, you can't keep."
"Some people have been deceived by you, but we won't. The Great Luo Dharma Sect thinks they are being clever, but we have been watching."
"We know what he is up to, and we also know what role your Hu family has played here."
"Today is just a greeting. If you still want to go to Shangjing, someone will come to you. Old Lord Eyebrow doesn't hesitate to risk a life to find a way, and it won't become a stepping stone for you to become immortals, so, take care..."
"...Little brother!"
"..."
"Stay!"
Seeing that with her voice, countless paper money flew around her, barely submerging her.
Hu Ma's eyes also turned cold. He could already feel that the Golden Armor Warrior had heard his call and wanted to invite the Town Evil Bureau to take them down, so as to ask clearly, or to clarify some things.
But unexpectedly, also as her figure retreated, the red line was retracted, and the iron chain wrapped around the Dawei Tiangong General's Dharma form also suddenly disappeared, and the Dharma form returned to his body.
The weight made Hu Ma hold his breath for a moment and stagger a step. At the same time, a sharp pain in his brow struck.
The nail was still in the brow of the Dawei Tiangong General's Dharma form.
When he held his breath for a long time and opened his eyes, he saw that Nuer Hong had already gone far away, empty and without a figure.
This woman had even calculated the weight of the Dawei Tiangong General's Dharma form's return, making it her backhand to leave.
And Hu Ma took a deep breath, only felt his body was weak, relying entirely on a strange force to support his figure, looking at the gradually disappearing flames around him, and the distorted everything in the black smoke, he only felt his head was slightly dizzy.
"A stepping stone to become immortals?"
"Miss White Wine said that her friends in Shangjing suddenly disappeared ten years ago..."
"At that time, they were investigating these things?"
"Besides the ones who have boarded the bridge now, and the older generation who have died, there is still a group of reincarnators active in secret..."
"..."
His thoughts were confused, and he couldn't think clearly for a while. Hu Ma didn't know that at this time, somewhere, someone was staring at the nine lamps in front of him. Originally, they were all extinguished, and only the first three lamps had a weak light.
But also when Hu Ma seized the fourth incense pillar, suddenly, all four lamps were bright, and the dark room was suddenly lit up a bit, and also illuminated half of the face of the lamp viewer.
It was the Dongxuan National Master. He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and a gratified smile appeared on his face: "Finally, it's beginning..."
