Chapter 114 Why is it so hot? You wretched creature, go away!
Chapter 114 Why is it so hot? You wretched creature, go away!
Wang Ye silently looked at the three seniors on the stone platform, lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Just as he raised his head again, about to speak, a sudden change occurred.
Feeling the sudden rise in temperature around him, Wang Ye paused for a moment before asking, "Seniors, did you feel it?"
The intense heat seemed to spread rhythmically, wave after wave, gradually engulfing the entire cave.
The once quiet and cool cave gradually became stuffy and hot, as if it had turned into a giant steamer.
He looked around and finally determined that the heat source was coming from behind the stone platform, behind the three old men.
Just as he couldn't resist using the Feng Hou Qi Men method he had just mastered to perform divination, the three old men on the stone platform immediately interrupted him.
"Stop it, kid! Are you out of your mind?!"
"You really think you can calculate everything just because you've mastered the Feng Hou Qi Men method?"
The two elders, Fang and Lu, tried to stop him sternly, but they were clearly not as swift as Hong Yin.
A small pebble flew swiftly through the air, carrying a sharp gust of wind, and struck Wang Ye directly on the head.
"Bang!"
The familiar thud of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out again, and Wang Ye, with a red mark on his forehead, fell to the ground once more.
Hong Yin's leisurely voice followed, "This kid is really tough..."
"But no matter how resilient you are, this is a consequence you can't afford to bear."
The strange changes inside the cave could not be kept from those who had been secluded there their entire lives; they understood what was happening the moment the heatwave appeared.
It seems that the young man from the Lü family in the stone cave behind them has made quite a gain, otherwise such a strange phenomenon would not have occurred.
The three old men turned around and sat cross-legged facing the stone wall behind them. As they looked at the Dao patterns flowing on the stone wall, their eyes gradually became more fervent.
"A year and a half. That kid has been in seclusion for almost eighteen months now. I didn't expect to see results so quickly."
"He is indeed the reincarnation of Lü Zu, only a new Lü Zu."
"My two junior brothers, are you ready?"
With tears in his eyes, the old man surnamed Fang stared at the unmoving mountain wall in front of him, as if he could see Lü Qian, who had forged his path in the cave, through the many obstacles of the mountain wall.
That was a patriarch who recreated the path to heaven!
The old man surnamed Lu and Hong Yin nodded in agreement, "Senior brother, we are all ready."
"Now it seems that this kid's Dao and Dharma are too amazing, and it is worth it for the three of us old bones to lay the foundation with our lives and push this kid's Dao to a few more levels."
"Hahaha......"
The three old men laughed heartily and generously, showing no signs of madness.
Suddenly, a short figure appeared inside the cave. He rushed in from the outside and was Zhou Meng, who had sensed the restriction on the back mountain and hurried over.
As soon as he entered the stone chamber, he was startled by the wave of heat that hit him and took a few steps back.
The heatwave created a breeze, drawing the air out of the cave and ruffling the white hair at Zhou Meng's temples.
When he realized that it wasn't his three crazy fellow disciples up to their old tricks again, he looked at the stone wall inside the cave with suspicion and stepped inside.
"Has that kid from the Lü family really succeeded?"
He looked at the restrictive runes flowing on the stone wall, their increasingly brilliant light symbolizing Lü Qian's condition inside the cave.
"Eighteen months..."
As Zhou Meng calculated the time, the shock on his face deepened.
"boom!"
An even more powerful wave of heat emanated from inside the mountain wall, making the three old men on the stone platform unable to open their eyes.
However, to the surprise of the three elderly people, the heat wave, which should have continued to rise, calmed down and stopped climbing.
The golden runes that had been shimmering on the stone wall dimmed in the same instant. Compared to their previous brilliance, the restrictive runes now resembled faint fireflies in the night.
"not good!"
The four old men reacted instantly, and Fang, Lu, and Hong on the stone platform immediately opened the stone wall.
Zhou Meng's short figure also jumped onto the stone platform. A golden light flashed out from the stone cave the moment he stepped onto the platform, causing him to stop in his tracks as he was about to rush in.
The golden light swiftly streaked across the dim cave and landed below the stone platform.
As the light gradually faded, Lü Qian's figure emerged. He sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, but his current state was somewhat strange.
The red and blue light flowed around him like water, and with the surge of red and blue radiance, his flesh and blood body seemed like a skin being blown about by the wind, rising and falling with the light.
His facial features were slowly changing, from a handsome young man to a pretty woman, but this was not the end; his appearance was still changing rapidly.
The wrinkled old man, the delicate-skinned infant, the emaciated middle-aged man...
The faces of men and women, and people of all ages, all changed on Lü Qian's face.
The four elderly people on the stone platform stared in shock at the scene before them, hesitant to speak, afraid of affecting Lü Qian's state of mind.
Although they didn't quite understand what had happened to Lü Qian, they could guess that Lü Qian absolutely could not be disturbed at this moment.
Zhou Meng stood behind his three fellow disciples, with the open stone door behind him. He looked at Lü Qian's state, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and he had a sudden realization.
"Whoosh—"
As the four old men were filled with doubt and surprise, a white flame carrying golden light flew out from the stone cave that had opened behind them.
After the flames landed, they transformed into a Taoist priest dressed in a red and white robe. In his right hand, he held a peach wood sword that emitted golden light, the very same one that Lü Qian had been carrying on his back.
"The Three Corpses incarnate?"
After landing, the Taoist revealed a face identical to Lü Qian's. Ignoring the four astonished old men on the stone platform, he stood in front of Lü Qian, looking down solemnly at Lü Qian, who was emitting red and blue light.
With a flick of his wrist, the Taoist priest turned the silver mirror hanging from the hilt of his sword and shone it on Lü Qian, who was lying on the ground.
The ordinary silver mirror suddenly shone brightly, and under its light, the red and blue light surging around Lü Qian was immediately suppressed.
His form, which had been shifting with the light, stabilized completely, and his body returned to its original shape, but his face slowly began to resemble another face.
She was a pretty woman with a graceful and gentle appearance, but she exuded a fierce aura.
Her eyes were tightly closed, veins throbbing on her forehead, and her once generous and gentle face looked extremely ferocious.
"That's... Duanmu Ying!"
This face immediately reminded the four old men on the stone platform of a peer from their past.
After the Jia Shen Rebellion, information about the Thirty-Six Bandits spread like wildfire, and their portraits were sent to various factions.
The Three Madmen of Wudang and Zhou Meng had naturally seen Duanmu Ying's portrait as well.
At this moment, the face that Lü Qian manifested was exactly the same as the portrait in his memory, only his body was still that of a man.
"You wretched creature, get out of here!"
