Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 560 - 325: Will Tuotuo Fuji Dream of Immortal Cultivation Sheep
Taoist Liu also did not expect that these Nine Huis were actually hidden by the ancestor in this lake, just like he didn’t know where the Human Emperor Banner was.
According to Taoist Liu, these Nine Huis were excavated along with the Human Emperor Banner.
It was three years ago when the Baoshan in Xiang County collapsed, revealing a mysterious pit. The county governor of Xiang County and more than ten cultivators entered the pit to explore, yet all disappeared without a trace.
Later, the ancestor personally acted and found the Human Emperor’s supreme treasure beneath the mysterious pit of Baoshan...
Taoist Liu was interrupted by Zhang Ze at this point.
"Hold on, how do you know that thing is the Human Emperor Banner? It wouldn’t have its name written on it, right?" Zhang Ze asked.
Taoist Liu shook his head, "I don’t know the details either. That treasure hunt was carried out by the ancestor alone. It wasn’t until he returned to Bianjing that he informed a few close people like us about the Human Emperor Banner.
"The grand ancestor only said that the Human Emperor Banner truly deserves to be the Innate Supreme Treasure, a holy object of the current era.
"It is said to contain countless useful skills and an endless world. Entering it grants you a lifespan of ten thousand years, achieving immortality."
Zhang Ze pinched his chin, thinking this sounds like a pyramid scheme.
Taoist Liu didn’t notice Zhang Ze’s expression and continued seriously.
"To enter the endless world within the banner, you need to use the power of these Nine Huis."
"How?" Zhang Ze asked.
"First, have your bones stripped and flesh removed by the Nine Huis, and your soul separated from the body, then perform a useful skill to guide the soul, pass through the Nine-Layered Pass, and you can enter the banner," Taoist Liu replied.
Zhang Ze, "..."
Is this a Human Emperor Banner or an amusement park?
"And you believed that?" Zhang Ze looked at Taoist Liu incredulously.
"Why wouldn’t I? I personally saw the governor of Xiang County, who had been missing, walk out of the Human Emperor Banner and recount to me the sights and experiences within."
"He said in that endless world, there were no disasters, everyone enjoyed paradise, mortals were well-fed and well-clothed, cultivators achieved immortality..." Taoist Liu showed a fascinated expression at this point.
"Don’t you think this story sounds a bit fishy?" Zhang Ze hesitated for a moment, looking at Taoist Liu’s enraptured expression, and softly reminded him.
"What’s the problem?" Taoist Liu asked, puzzled.
"Look at this thing called Nine Huis or whatever, does it seem like a good thing?"
Zhang Ze pointed to the small black claws looming in and out of the distant mist.
Taoist Liu, "The way of heaven and earth is just like this, lone yang doesn’t grow, lone yin doesn’t last. The Human Emperor Banner is a holy object, how could it last without the Nine Huis accompanying it? I see you are also a Golden Core, don’t you understand this principle?"
"But if you really think this thing is good, why did you run when it was about to strike you just now?" Zhang Ze looked at Taoist Liu like he was an idiot.
"Why wouldn’t I run? The Human Emperor Banner is not here; if I get my soul extracted by the Nine Huis, I’d truly die." Taoist Liu also looked at Zhang Ze like he was an idiot.
"But the Human Emperor Banner..." Zhang Ze inherently felt there was a big problem with this banner, but before he finished speaking, Taoist Liu cut him off.
"The Human Emperor Banner..."
The same old rhetoric came out of Taoist Liu’s mouth.
He closed his eyes and passionately talked about the endless world within the Human Emperor Banner, as if he was speaking both to himself and to Zhang Ze.
It was like a scratched record, looking quite eerie. Seeing Taoist Liu’s demeanor, Zhang Ze was reminded of the fools from the Hundred Demons Sect.
At this thought, he signaled to the two dragon steeds who had been listening to the story on the side.
Zhang Ze aimed with his left eye and kept watch with his right eye, then issued a maneuvering flanking attack order to the two dragon steeds.
The two dragon steeds immediately understood, quietly rising from the grass, and while Taoist Liu was engrossed in his storytelling, they casually strolled to his left and right.
The two dragon steeds exchanged a glance and then fiercely squeezed together.
The two dragon steeds were strong and robust. This Iron Mountain Lean sandwich almost didn’t squeeze Taoist Liu’s kidneys out.
Taoist Liu was squeezed until he was dizzy and his vision went black, but before he could open his eyes, he heard a yawning sound.
"Ha~"
After the yawn came a crisp sound.
The thing that made the crisp sound wasn’t a watermelon, but Taoist Liu’s forehead.
As a man resistant to the Human Emperor Banner, Zhang Ze felt obligated to help others find their way back.
He initially wanted to use the Virtuous Correction Fist but then thought that might be too harmful to an elder.
So, he settled for an alternative, using a flick of his finger instead.
"You little bastard! Why did you flick me?" Taoist Liu cursed, holding his forehead in anger.
"To help you wake up. So, do you still want to enter that Human Emperor Banner?"
Zhang Ze asked as he rubbed his fingers.
That flick had also numbed his fingers; he didn’t expect the old man’s skull to be so hard.
"Human Emperor Banner...human..." At that moment, Taoist Liu felt a splitting headache, recalling his recent words and actions, and broke out in a cold sweat.
What nonsense paradise? How could he believe in such a thing? And having bones stripped, what’s the difference from sending oneself to death?
"Only an idiot would enter the Human Emperor Banner!"
Taoist Liu couldn’t hold back and cursed out loud.
Seeing Taoist Liu had come to his senses, Zhang Ze asked, "No need to thank me, it was just a small gesture. So how can we escape the influence of these Nine Huis? Can we leave the cave as long as we move away the green stones blocking it?"
Zhang Ze thought if that’s the case, it would be simple, as he had cattle and horses here, perfect for this type of manual labor.
"Not at all, the way to escape the Nine Huis is not beyond this cave; I just happened to walk here and got pinned by those two stubborn horses."
