Chapter 1 Death is not the leader
"Let me go, I'm going to go down the mountain!"
"You scammers...bastards..."
"I, Wang Yuanze, just hit me and killed me today. I will never be the head of the Puqinghe Sect..."
On a beautiful mountain, there is a dilapidated Taoist temple.
A group of Taoist priests wearing Baina Taoist robes were surrounding a young man with a disheveled head and exuding anger toward the Taiyi Palace, the highest point of the Taoist temple.
These Taoist priests have six men and one woman. The leader is a man with a black beard with a horse face and a black beard. The youngest one is a woman with twenty-six or seven appearances. Although these people are all wearing Taoist robes and buns, they have no peace as monks. Instead, they all have a fierce aura.
The young men surrounding the middle are more coercive than coercion.
The young man was quite strong and strong, but there was no possibility of breaking free from the hands of several Taoist priests. He was still turning his head and struggling and shouting desperately.
Behind these Taoist priests, four little Taoist priests, holding bells, chimes, Taoist robes, whisks, incense, candles and other magical objects. Looking at the situation ahead, each of them was filled with pity and anxiety.
A group of people passed through the door and quickly came to the courtyard in front of Taiyi Hall.
The courtyard is dozens of feet wide, but it is covered with weeds and thorns, which looks very desolate. In addition to the dilapidated side hall walls around, a huge incense burner that is more than one person tall in front of the gate of the Taiyi Hall looks extremely eye-catching.
A group of people stopped in front of the incense burner, and the leader of the horse-faced Taoist priest turned around and took the incense candle from the hand of the little Taoist boy following behind him, lit it, and bowed three times to the incense burner.
"Taiyi Immortal Lord is above, and the ancestors of the Qinghe Sect are above. Today we have selected another new leader. Please bless the ancestors..."
The last few words of the horse-faced Taoist priest were very low, and no one heard them. After the muttering, he inserted the incense candle into the incense burner. Seeing the three pillars of blue smoke rising, he turned around and pinched the boy's neck and said viciously: "You must be the leader today, and you must be the one who is not. If you dare to shout more, offend the ancestor, Dao, I will cut off your tongue and drink..."
"Woooo~" The boy's face turned red and struggled constantly, but the horse-faced Taoist priest's hands were extremely powerful, and he almost broke his neck like an iron hoop. Therefore, after struggling for a while, he rolled his eyes and slowly calmed down.
"Hmph!" The horse-faced Taoist priest let go of his hand, and the young man covered his neck with his hands and gasped hard. Just when the horse-faced Taoist priest thought that the intimidation had been successfully turned around, the Taoist priest who was standing next to him exclaimed, and then there was a bang behind him. When he turned around, he found that the young man had already hit the huge incense burner head-on, and his body was softly holding the thick incense burner legs slowly tilting down.
The Taoist priest's face changed drastically. He quickly supported the boy, but found that a big hole was broken on the boy's head, and blood was coming out like a spring water, and instantly dyed a large area of his clothes and the ground.
The Taoist priest, who was not willing to donate blood with his hands, tried it on the tip of the boy's mouth and nose with his hands, and his face looked even more ugly.
"Brother, don't panic. I think I'm not dead yet. I might have time to treat it in time. I have a bleeding-stop talisman..."
A short and fat Taoist priest with a fat face jumped out and took out a red talisman paper from his cuff. He snapped it on the boy's bloody forehead. A faint light flashed across the talisman paper, and the color on the talisman paper faded instantly, and the blood gurgling from the boy's head quickly stopped.
When the remaining Taoist priests saw that there was a chance, they took action one after another.
"Black Jade Intermittent Paste."
"Resurrection of the fifth update."
"Clean Heart Talisman!"
"Black Chicken and White Phoenix Pills!"
"Seven Steps Broken Heart Sperm... Uh, I took the wrong one, it was Tongluo Dispersing Silt ointment~"
"The golden spear will not fall..."
With a crackling sound, a group of Taoist priests smashed all the items in their hands on the boy. The unconscious boy's body shook a few times like an electric shock, but still did not recover.
"Brother..." A group of Taoist priests looked at the horse-faced Taoist priest with some pain.
The Taoist priest, who had been holding the boy's pulse, shook his head with an extremely ugly expression, threw the boy to the ground with a thud, and gritted his teeth and twitched for a few times and said, "It's no help, hurry down the mountain and find another one!"
When several Taoist priests heard this, their faces became even more ugly. The short and fat Taoist priest quickly said, "Brother, it may not be easy to find another person with spiritual roots. We have searched for this guy for a whole three years, and we offended the Marquis of Zhennan. Now it is probably dangerous to go down the mountain..."
"Yes, brother, there are only a few people with spiritual roots. It's really hard to find. Over the years, we have searched all over the Nanyang Kingdom and more than ten counties around us, but we have only found five, and our qualifications are getting worse and worse. Not to mention that we are afraid of Zhennan Hou's investigation, even if it goes well, I'm afraid I won't be able to encounter it for a few years..."
"Yes, this opportunity is probably going to be ruined..."
"Oh, it's been ten years, and it's not successful once. It seems that we really have no chance to do this immortal fate!"
A group of Taoist priests shook their heads and sighed and felt depressed.
"Dog Dan has a very strong temper. If you say you're killed, you'll be killed. I have to crush you to ashes!" A tall and thin Taoist priest stepped forward and kicked the boy's body hard and rolled out.
"Fifth Brother, what's the use of being angry when everyone dies? Just think of other ways!" The only female Taoist priest spoke a little unbearable.
"Hmph, what else can I do now? Ordinary people cannot break through the immortal seal of the ancestor cave, and the longer the time delays, the more unfavorable it is for us. We have been in this Dao Temple for ten years, and now we have offended Zhennan Hou again. If we reveal it, where can we have our share?" said the tall and thin Taoist priest fiercely.
"Although our Qinghuang Qisha has a bad reputation in the world, if we obtain the real method of cultivating immortals and occupy the mountain gate of the Qinghe Sect, and have this legitimate opportunity, we may be able to become a major immortal sect like Longmen Taoist temple in the future, open mountains and recruit disciples, become immortals and achieve Taoism, and live freely and immortality..."
The Taoist priest with a horse-faced body shook his head and his eyes were full of blood.
"Become an immortal and attain the Tao...Free and immortality..."
The other Taoist priests showed a look of yearning on their faces.
"No, I can't give up this opportunity. I have offended Zhennan Hou. If I can't break through, I'm afraid I can't stay in the wilderness!" The horse-faced Taoist priest gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment and took out an exquisite animal skin pocket covered with runes from his arms, opened it carefully, and poured out a round black bead and a light green jade talisman.
It's fine to have a jade talisman, it looks ordinary, but the beads are as dark as ink, as if a small black hole cannot reflect any light. Just one glance will make you feel like your soul is throbbing and jumping out of your body.
"What kind of treasure is this?" The other Taoist priests changed their faces in horror.
"This is a soul-fixing bead, which is said to be a rare immortal treasure. This thing has the effect of soul-fixing and gathering spirits. Even if a dead person is no more than an hour, there is an 80% chance of reuniting his soul and living..."
"Hiss~~"
A group of onlookers immediately took a breath of cold air, and their eyes became greedy when they looked at the black beads.
"Hmph, this thing was succeeded by me in the Black Sand Land. This thing was shady. I originally wanted to keep it for life-saving purposes when I encountered an accident in the future, but it seems that this time I can only afford this little bastard. You can disperse it for my guardian and wait for me to activate this bead to save him. We must not give up this opportunity easily. As Lao Wu said, the longer it is, the greater the danger. Once the real immortal figures know it, we will not only lose our lives, but also lose our lives here..."
The horse-faced Taoist priest said as he grabbed the dead boy, pressed the black beads on the boy's forehead, and then crushed the jade talisman with a bang. A green light enveloped the boy. The black beads pressed on the forehead slowly merged into the boy's forehead bit by bit like a blur, and finally disappeared completely.
