Chapter 259 Immortal Sect's Methods
Chapter 259 Immortal Sect's Methods
The secret passage at the bottom of the cave within a cave was found by Shen Wen after Qiu Shui left.
Shen Wen naturally also saw the people imprisoned in the cave on the lower level.
Shen Wen did not alert the enemy. He quietly retreated, pretending nothing had happened. He went out again and used the Beetle's lighting function to find some firewood nearby. He lit a fire and slept in the cave that night.
Early the next morning, Shen Wen came out of the cave. He looked at the red clouds in the sky dyed by the sun and fell into deep thought.
At the age of 40, he was already halfway through his life, and the innocence he had when he was young towards life was gone. After so many years of killing and being killed, sometimes he couldn't tell whether the saying "right is right and wrong is wrong" was true or not, and the idea of rushing to save people didn't seem so important anymore.
Just like at this moment, he also felt that some innocent lives were lost when he expected it, but he still had to weigh the pros and cons.
After thinking for a long time, Shen Wen felt that he had to do something. Qiu Shui seemed to be very arrogant. Just based on the miserable scene he saw in the underground cave last night, Qiu Shui still went back to his old ways. Shen Wen felt a little regretful. Why didn't he remember that he had caught this person? It was probably too long since he solved Qiu Shui's case. He had forgotten that on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, there was a typical murderer who was caught by him.
Killing people, skinning them, and taking out their internal organs is not scary, nor is serial killing. What is scary is that the criminals have been quietly killing people for years without being discovered and executed. The criminals' killing business has become bigger and bigger, and it has spread like a chain store across the country and the world, becoming catastrophic. Qiu Shui is more than that? Isn't that a snake attached to the bones a part of the zombie disaster movie in disguise?
"Since he wants to use Qiu Shui to fight against the enemy, the goal is to make both sides lose. At this time, Qiu Shui is obviously too powerful, so he can't be defeated. In this case...why not just knock down half of his strength?"
Shen Wen was thinking about this as he turned around and was about to go back to the cave. When he reached the entrance of the cave, he heard someone's voice inside, so Shen Wen immediately hid.
After waiting for a while, a few people really ran out from inside. Shen Wen saw it clearly. Who else could it be but five fellow villagers?
Awang, Akun and Pitiaoxia were standing side by side supporting Kawa Bear and Gajigua. The five of them looked so miserable.
Shen Wen remembered very clearly that Awang and Akun were tied up, and Pi Tiao Xia was tied to the chopping board with chains. On the contrary, Kawa Xiong and Gaji Gua, one fainted on the ground and the other was lying in a pile of zombies, surrounded by a group of zombies.
It was estimated that Awang and Akun opened the chains, and it seemed that these two people were masters of escaping the prison. And the fainted Kawa Bear just happened to indicate that the poison or drug used by Qiu Shui was very powerful.
As soon as the five of them escaped from the cave, Shen Wen saw a group of strange "people" running out of the cave behind them.
"Are these snakes so smart? They can watch the prisoners and chase them if they run away?"
Shen Wen was frightened and couldn't help but mutter.
Shen Wen followed behind, observing the situation. In the end, the villagers were still surrounded by the zombies. They dragged two unconscious people and tried to avoid the tireless zombies, but they had no chance.
The zombies surrounded them and started fighting with them.
Shen Wen felt pity when he saw Awang Awang and Pitiaoxia fighting with their bare hands, hungry and injured.
Before he could do anything to help Awang and the other two, the swarming zombies suddenly dropped several fireballs from the sky and landed directly on them. The fire immediately engulfed several zombies. As they hurriedly fled and collided with others, many of them had their clothes burned by the fire, and turned into human-shaped fireballs, burning many zombies to death.
At this time, a group of disciples wearing green Taoist robes descended from the sky and killed half of the zombies like cutting melons and vegetables. This time, these disciples were more powerful. They could create fire out of thin air with just a piece of talisman paper, and then condense it into a fireball to attack the crowd. The talismans were placed side by side to form a wall of fire, forming a fire circle. The zombies were afraid of fire and were blocked by the fire circle. There were fireballs in the fire circle, and one by one, they were caught in the fire and burned. In this way, they all became charred corpses lying on the ground.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect won a great victory and cheered with joy.
Shen Wen, who was hiding in the distance, looked at the situation and couldn't help but shook his head.
I thought: What a bunch of idiots! The fire is not strong enough. The serpents live in the internal organs and bone joints. If the body is not completely cremated, the little snakes will crawl out and find a new host. You know, when Shen Wen used the flamethrower to burn the serpents, the fire was strong enough to burn a person immediately, and even burned down the cave.
Those people don’t know that sometimes danger is just around the corner.
But what Shen Wen didn't know was that he would be in danger the next moment. He had been discovered and followed by someone. Shen Wen turned around and left before he could see the danger of the next group of people. After walking for a distance, two old immortals with white hair and beards holding whisks fell from the sky. The two elders with immortal demeanor politely greeted Shen Wen when they saw him, saying, "Young Master, we are honored."
Seeing that the two people looked kind and reasonable, Shen Wen nodded and said, "Oh, polite."
The two people watching the immortals, one held a whisk with a jade handle and the other held a whisk with a gold handle. One wore a purple Taoist robe embroidered with gold thread, and the other wore a blue Taoist robe embroidered with silver thread.
The purple-robed immortal said, "I see that your bones are thinner than those of ordinary people, and your face is more charming than that of a girl. I am afraid that you will have many love debts and countless bad karma in your life. Why don't you follow me to the immortal gate and become an immortal who cultivates infinite blessings for eternity, and cut off the karma of this world?"
Shen Wen said: "This elder is over a hundred years old, right? May I ask how many decades have you been cultivating in the Immortal Mountain?"
The old man held up two fingers and said, "I am not being modest. It has been ninety years. Haha, it is enough for me to be your master."
Shen Wen said, "You just said that you have been cultivating for ten thousand lifetimes. How many lifetimes have you cultivated for? The old immortals should remember all these lifetimes, right?"
The old immortal choked after hearing this, and then said, "You don't understand. Although we are immortals, we are also subject to the cycle of all things in the world. How can we remember how many lives we have cultivated? We will not remember the things of our previous lives after reincarnation."
Shen Wen spread his hands and said, "That's it. Since you said that immortals need to cultivate for eternity and create blessings, and that reincarnation will clear all past events, how do you know that I might have been your master in my previous life, or that I am a disaster for your sect in this life? If that's the case, and you took me to the Immortal Mountain, wouldn't it be your fault that the sect was destroyed?"
The old immortal choked again, the kindness in his eyes faded away, and he looked at Shen Wen coldly.
Another elder was eager to try and jumped out to fight Shen Wen, but was stopped by the old immortal.
Shen Wen smiled and said, "You are a good talker, and your reasons for harming people are more comprehensive than those of your disciples who came here a few days ago. But I was previously hunted down by your people from the Immortal Sect. It is inappropriate for you to say such things at this time. After all, I am not a fool. I can tell whether your words are true or false. It is unnecessary for me to go to the Immortal Sect with you. I also advise you that you are a cultivator, and an old man who has achieved results in cultivation. You came here to kill me crazy because of a slanderous word from others. You should think clearly whether it will harm your virtue and how much virtue you will lose. Is it worth killing a small person like me?"
Another elder said, "You are a monster. If you live, you will definitely harm countless lives. Killing you is to save the lives of those who are about to be harmed by you. This is a good deed to save the common people. Brother! Don't listen to his evil words. This monster has sharp teeth and sharp mouths and is the most deceptive. Kill him as soon as possible."
Shen Wen hugged his shoulders and said, "Then come and kill me. Anyway, I am powerless and cannot fight back in front of you strong men. I can see that you are all kind-hearted people. Don't pretend to be chivalrous and benevolent to save people from danger."
There was hesitation in the old immortal's eyes, but the other elder hated himself for being so tongue-tied that he could not argue with Shen Wen.
The old immortal looked at Shen Wen and said, "People often say that what you hear is not as good as what you see. Considering that this is our first meeting, and I didn't see you harming anyone, I will let you go this time. You can go now."
Shen Wen smiled and said, "Really? Are you really going to let me go this time?"
The old immortal held his companion's hand and said, "Really."
Shen Wen didn't hesitate and walked away.
After walking a few meters, Shen Wen turned back and said to the old immortal, "Since you are willing to let me go, I will tell you one thing. Your disciples just now were not thoughtful enough. Although the zombie was destroyed by the fire, the dirty things that controlled people are not completely dead. After a while, those dirty things will recover and will launch a crazy counterattack. Time is very short. Maybe in the next moment, your disciples will be in trouble. If you believe me, go and save them quickly."
Shen Wen's words really woke up the two white-bearded old men from their dreams, and they hurried to rescue their disciples.
At this time, two old immortals descended from the sky, one in purple and the other in blue. The purple-robed old man was different from the previous one. There was a black vertical line on his forehead, which made him look much more heroic. The purple-robed old immortal said to the other purple-robed old immortal, "Junior brother, how could you be fooled by his few words? Junior brother, you don't know that this man is a resurrected soul. He must have a master behind him to do such a thing that defies the will of heaven and changes his fate. We must not let him go."
The old man in purple was also surprised when he heard this, so he did not stop his senior brother.
The heroic old man in purple shook the whisk in his hand lightly in the air and said, "Everyone, listen to my command and set up the formation!"
The other three old men used a teleportation technique, then each found their own direction and displayed their magical powers. In a few breaths, they formed an invisible formation.
Shen Wen, who was completely unaware of the situation, only felt that while he was walking freely, his soul had already left his body. Shen Wen, who had become a soul, only felt that the scenery in the world had changed, and his five senses and six consciousnesses seemed to be turned upside down.
