Chapter 8: Wu Jin wants to make a move, Niu Er becomes a scapegoat

  And then there's General Wu Cheng, who went to Qingfeng Mountain and got a green hat back. When he arrived at Mei Mountain, he was robbed again. With a belly full of anger, he quickly gathered officials from nearby prefectures and unleashed his fury.

  This land belongs to the domain of Nan Bo Hou E Chong Yu, Huang Fei Hu is in a high position in the imperial court, a group of people naturally take chicken feathers as command arrows, and gather troops, preparing for a large army to advance, and blood wash Mei Shan.

  Wu Jin Cave. Huang Shi Ren looked at Wu Jin Lao Zu in front of him, with a smile all over his face.

  "Congratulations, Old Ancestor! Felicitations, Old Ancestor!" Huang Shiren bowed and scraped, fawning excessively.

  "Where does the joy come from?" Wu Jin's eyelids drooped, his gaze swept across Huang Shiren's body, and he thought to himself: "This Ah San has made great progress in his cultivation after just one night."

  "I have come to report to the Old Master, I went out on patrol and met a strong man. His name is Jin Dasheng, his skills are impressive, after I spoke with him, he expressed his admiration for the Old Master like a mighty river flowing endlessly, and immediately asked me to lead the way, to join the Old Master's camp and help the Old Master achieve great things. Congratulations to the Old Master, felicitations to the Old Master!" Huang Shiran turned around, gave Jin Dasheng a signal, and Jin Dasheng reluctantly got down on his knees with a thud.

  "Little gold rises high, see the old ancestor!"

  The old castle of Wu Jin is so deep that it can be seen at a glance, and Jin Dashi seems to be unwilling, obviously extremely wary of Huang Shiren.

  "This surname Jin, the ability is not weak, but I don't know how Ah San got hooked up with him. The two of them are in cahoots, and if I were to take action against Ah San later on, wouldn't it be a bit troublesome? However, at this critical juncture, we're short-handed, what's to be done?" The old master muttered to himself, momentarily at a loss for ideas.

  Huang Shiren saw Wu Jin's face changing and leaned in, whispering: "Old ancestor, many people have great power, and a good nanny is easy to raise children. This guy has some skills, but his brain is simple. In times of crisis, if he can help the old ancestor like Feng Jie did, it would be his blessing."

  Wu Jin Laogong heard this and thought it was reasonable.

  "I don't care what kind of relationship you two have, in my hands, nothing will come out of it. When the day comes and I swallow your primordial spirit, I'll be the one who benefits." Thinking this, the old ancestor chuckled and said: "It's a good thing that Da Sheng can come forward! I've always been clear about rewards and punishments, as long as you do well, I won't treat you unfairly."

  "Doesn't he thank his ancestors for their upbringing?" Huang Shiren turned to face Jin Dasheng.

  Jin Dashi saw Huang Shirong and Wu Jinlao whispering to each other, and the one with the surname Huang had a sly smile on his face. He must be talking about himself, so he felt a chill in his heart and knelt down to thank him.

  "Ah San, since Da Sheng is your lead, you'll take care of him from now on. I'm tired, go down."

  "Yes!"

  The two bid farewell to Laozu and returned to Huang Shiren's residence. In order to comfort Jin Dashi, Huang Shiren had Xiaoyao prepare a lavish spread of fine wine and delicacies. The cups and chopsticks were crossed, and Jin Dashi, who had been living on the streets for days, gradually began to feel more cheerful.

  "Big Brother Da Sheng, the piece of beef in your belly is quite good." Tearing off a piece of chicken leg, Huang Shi Ren ate while glancing at Jin Da Sheng's stomach.

  This wicked person is blinded by wealth, could it be that they want to slaughter the cow for its yellow skin!?

  Jin Dashi's head buzzed with a loud noise, vigilantly staring at Huang Shiren, secretly making preparations for counterattack, but his mouth said: "If big brother has taken a liking to my cow bezoar, then giving it to big brother is fine."

  You dare? I spit on you! This is the only life-saving magic treasure I have, as precious as my own flesh and blood. If this cheap person really wants to force it, I'll fight with you until one of us dies, and everything will be destroyed!

  "Haha, Dashi, since you called me 'big brother', we're like real brothers. How could I possibly take your treasure?" Huang Shiren put down his wine cup and shook his head.

  My legs turned to jelly! I was so scared that my legs went weak!

  Jin Dashi wiped away a cold sweat and chuckled.

  "This treasure of yours is absolutely lethal when used for a sneak attack, I almost fell for it earlier. Impressive." Huang Shi Ren's greasy big hand wiped against Jin Da Sheng's body and he continued: "However, this treasure has a lot of room for improvement, using it like this is really a waste of its potential."

  "What's that supposed to mean?" Jin Dashi had always been confident in his own magical artifact, and Huang Shiren's words made him very unhappy.

  "This treasure of yours, transformed from cow yellow, is not solid and ordinary people can't withstand it. If you encounter an expert, there's a high possibility that you'll be beaten to dust. Moreover, the fire brought by the cow yellow is your innate three flavors true fire, but since the fire is impure and not fierce enough, its power is greatly reduced." Huang Shiren's words made Jin Dashi feel compelled to concede.

  "Great promotion, we are close brothers, how can I treat you badly. Here, there is a Taoist method called Tianxuan Yuhuo Jue, which is very suitable for you." Huang Shiran explained: "This method was originally used to refine the fire in the furnace, you can plant cow yellow in the furnace and use the three flavors of true fire to forge it, remove its impurities, solidify its body, and enhance its fire power. In the future, we brothers will kill some people with high Taoist skills, seize their alchemy fires, or find various strange fires to put into the furnace, which will have a better effect."

  Having said that, Huang Shiren passed on the Tian Xuan Yu Hu Jue to Jin Da Sheng, and they both burst out laughing.

  This Xuan Yu Hu Jue was a secret oral formula left by the ancestors of Huang Shi Ren's past life Tian Ji Guan, used for opening the furnace and refining Dan. After being practiced by countless generations, it has become extremely perfect. For old Huang, it is not very useful, but for Jin Da Sheng, it is quite good.

  Jin Dashi obtained this method, half believing and half doubting, but after carefully understanding it, he was overjoyed.

  He is a self-taught master, who has never had a teacher or received guidance from a superior. His achievements are entirely due to his own efforts. The formula of Huang Shiren's school is very precious and practical for him.

  "Thank you, big brother!" Unconsciously, Jin Daxing's goodwill towards Huang Shiran soared.

  Of course, Huang Shiren has his own plans. In the current situation, helping Jin Dashi is one way to gain his favor, after all, not getting along with his younger brother will lead to trouble in the future, and on the other hand, Jin Dashi is awesome, so if he encounters any problems in the future, he can also take care of himself.

  "Cheers! Let's just be polite. Come on, let's drink, let's drink!" The two of them were in high spirits, clinking cups together, and before they knew it, they had downed countless shots of liquor, getting drunk to the point of collapse.

  After pouring wine for Jin Dashi, Huang Shiren held up his pants and walked unsteadily to the toilet. After walking for a while, he suddenly saw Hu Jiao'er leading several small heads towards Wu Jin Laozu's cave mansion.

  "What are these people up to at this late hour? Let me go take a look." Huang Shiren followed stealthily, entering the cave and hiding his figure.

  Huang Jing Er brought a few small heads, winding and twisting, finally arriving at the place where Wu Jin Old Ancestor was cultivating.

  This place is a forbidden area of Wujin Cave, and no one can approach without the order of Wu Jin Lao Zu. Why did Ah Er come here? Huang Shi Ren couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

  "Has he arrived?" Ah Er and the others stood at the entrance of the cave, cupping their hands in respect. From inside came the sound of Wu Jin's laughter.

  "What did Old Ancestor come to us for in the middle of the night?" Ah Er was extremely clever, and as he looked at Wu Jin Old Ancestor walking out, a hint of fear appeared on his face.

  "There's nothing big going on. You can come closer." Ukinei laughed with his hands behind his back.

  Several small heads acted as they were told, but Al alone did not move.

  "Hahaha." Just as several small bosses approached, Wu Jin Old Ancestor transformed into a long rainbow and rushed over, transforming into a giant about 10 zhang tall. He stretched out his large hands, grabbed those few small bosses in his hand, opened his big mouth, and swallowed them one by one, until they were all in his belly.

  "Ancestor, spare my life!" Ah Er cried out in horror, realizing that Wu Jin was going to devour the little demon's primordial spirit to supplement his own.

  "Ah Er, you've been with me for so many years, making significant contributions. Now that my Taoist path has been ruined, I can only trouble you." Wu Jin Old Ancestor chuckled and his figure appeared right in front of Ah Er!

  "Black Gold! You old mixed hair! For these hundreds of years, I've done so many things for you, no merit but hard work! You actually want to eat me up! Desperate!" Ah Er knew that there was no room for maneuvering, might as well take a risk and perhaps still have a way out. As he spoke, two flying swords appeared in Ah Er's hands, transformed from the two fangs in his mouth, a wisp of black smoke, stabbing towards Black Gold Old Ancestor's eyes.

  "How ignorant of the heavens and the earth!" Wu Jin Old Ancestor chuckled, opened his mouth wide, and spat out three flavors of true fire. Ah Er dodged too late, was sprayed right on, let out a miserable cry, and fell down.

  Wu Jin Lao Zu grasped Al, his hands exerting great force, and tore him into two pieces. He first devoured the body, then tossed the primordial spirit into his mouth, chewing with a crunching sound!

  "This guy's Dao line is not bad for 800 years, hehe." After eating Er Two and others, Wu Jin Old Ancestor let out a satisfied burp, his whole body emitting boundless Fa Li Xian Qi: "Wait until I fully digest, then eat that Al San fellow, should be able to recover about 80%."

  With that, Wu Jin Old Ancestor turned around and entered the cave, quietly digesting his thoughts.

  This scene made Huang Shiren's head ache as if it were going to split open, and he was so frightened that he sobered up by half. He secretly retreated, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid and annoyed he became.

  "You're a cheap bastard! You actually dared to hit Master Dao's head! No way, I have to think of something, or else today's Ah Er will be my downfall!" Huang Shiren had spent his whole life scheming against others, but now he was being outsmarted by Wu Jin, and it made him so angry that his guts were about to burst.

  He sat on a boulder, calmed down, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled slyly. He killed the mountain deer, smeared himself with blood, disheveled his hair, and made himself look wretched. Then he returned to his own den and woke up Jin Dashi.

  Jin Dashi opened his eyes and saw Huang Shiren in such a state, and was startled.

  "Big disaster, it's a calamity, it's a calamity!" Huang Shiren squeezed out two lines of tears and let out a long sigh.

  "What's wrong with you, big brother?" Jin Daxiang hurriedly got up.

  "Big Brother, I brought you here to enjoy good fortune, but who would have thought it would put your life in danger. As a brother, I really owe you an apology! Hurry and leave, I'll cover for you." Huang Shi-ren handed the three-pointed knife to Jin Da-sheng, crying bitterly, and said: "Da-sheng, this time Big Brother is done for, from now on when it's New Year or festivals, don't forget to offer some incense for me, so our brotherly bond won't be in vain. Go!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed Jin Dashi out with one hand.

  This remark, however, made Jin Dashi's heart feel a little warm. Jin Dashi was originally simple-minded and had been alone since birth, never having experienced familial love. Huang Shiren, although he had previously ruined his own life, first by dragging him up the mountain to enjoy good fortune together, then by teaching him a Taoist technique, and now even willing to sacrifice his own life for him, was not someone Jin Dashi could easily abandon.

  "Big brother, what's going on?!" Jin Daxiang asked.

  Huang Shiren sighed and said, "It's still that old scoundrel Wu Jinlao! He had his Dao broken, and it'll take him a while to recover. Today, he came to me to discuss using your Yuan Shen to help him cultivate. Dashi, you're my brother, how could I agree to that?! It's just that Big Brother's abilities are too weak, not a match for that despicable person. He begged and pleaded, but was beaten up instead. Dashi, it's all because of me being unworthy of you, so quickly leave and don't worry about me!"

  "Wu Jin is really detestable!" At these words from Huang Shi-ren, Jin Da-sheng was so angry that he let out a loud bellow and, brandishing his dagger, was about to rush out.

  "Big Sheng, where are you going?!"

  "Big brother, I'm going to fight him!" Jin Dasheng raised his head and said, "Big brother, although I didn't have a good impression of you before, but your methods are impressive. You taught me the way, I'm grateful! I, Jin Dasheng, am a man who stands tall and proud, how can I let my brother die for me while I escape with my tail between my legs?"

  "What a great promotion! My good brother!" Huang Shiren was overjoyed in his heart, and put on an extremely moved expression on his face. He hugged Jin Dasheng and said: "Even if he has been crippled by half, he is still a Taiyi True Immortal. How can you be his match? Isn't it like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?"

  "Die and be done with it, what's there to fear!" Jin Dasheng's temper flared up.

  "Alright, Big Sheng, you and I are brothers in this life and death struggle, if we die, we'll die together!" Huang Shi-ren nodded his head and patted Jin Da-sheng's shoulder: "Big brother will accompany you!"

  "Big brother!" Jin Daxiang was so moved that he cried bitterly.

  Alas! I used to think that big brother was a despicable person, but unexpectedly he is so noble and selfless. I was using the heart of a petty person to measure the belly of a gentleman, which is really not right!

  Jin Dashi couldn't help but blame himself.

  Two people walked together, with an air of determination and momentum.

  As they walked, Huang Shiren suddenly turned his face and clapped his hands: "Dasheng, why are we going to our deaths? There's clearly a wide and safe road right in front of us!"

  The second update is here. My friend Qing Shi Qiao said that when reading my book, don't eat, otherwise you'll laugh so hard that you'll spit food into your airway and have to go to the hospital. I brought Old Huang to bow to all of you, it's all because of this rascal Old Huang! Hehe, everyone please take pity on Old Huang who is not easy to get along with, he has tickets in hand, and hopes for your guidance! Haha!
