Chapter 130 Shushan
Chapter 130 Shushan
The Drunken Swordsman led Li Xiaoyao and the other three towards Mount Shu. Zhao Linger and Anu kept looking at the green mountains and clear waters below. Anu said, "The scenery below is so beautiful."
Zhao Linger said, "Yes, it's a different feeling to look down from above."
Anu said, "It's a pity that although Brother Anos can fly in the air, his footwork is not good enough to carry others with him."
Zhao Linger said, "That's easy. Next time, we can just let him take us flying on a dragon."
When Lin Yueru heard the word "Anos", she became very disappointed. Zhao Linger and Anu also noticed that they had spoken out of turn.
Zhao Linger softly comforted her, "Sister Yueru, don't worry. Brother Anos is very strong, he will be fine."
Lin Yueru said, "This is also my fault. I should have cared more about him. I should have thought that he would leave."
Zhao Linger said, "He doesn't want you to be in danger. He's also afraid that it might actually happen."
The Drunken Swordsman said, "Shushan is almost here."
As expected, looking forward, a towering mountain stood before him, with many buildings on top. Occasionally, people could be seen flying in and out on swords.
The Drunken Swordsman lowered the gourd, and Li Xiaoyao and the other three jumped off. The Drunken Swordsman chanted the spell again, and the gourd began to shrink little by little, and soon returned to its original size.
The Drunken Sword Immortal tucked the gourd into his waist. At this moment, a female disciple with black hair, a purple mark on her forehead, and a green Taoist robe came over. She saluted and said, "My name is Cao Gu. What brings you here, fellow Taoists?"
Zhao Linger was stunned when she saw it and said, "Didn't Brother Anos say before that the female disciples of Shushan were dismissed? How come they are still here?"
When Cao Gu heard the word 'Anos', he asked, "May I ask who are you to Anos?"
Li Xiaoyao saluted Cao Gu and said, "I am Li Xiaoyao, and we are good friends of Anos."
Cao Gu said, "Excuse me, is there anyone named Zhao Linger among you?"
Zhao Linger bowed to Cao Gu and said, "My name is Zhao Linger, nice to meet Taoist Cao Gu."
Cao Gu took a closer look and said, "Just call me Cao Gu. I've only been in the sect for a few days and I'm not worthy of the title of Taoist Priest."
Zhao Linger asked, "Actually, Linger is still very puzzled, because Brother Anos said that the former head of Shushan, Taoist Chang Hao, dismissed all the female disciples. What are you doing...?"
Cao Gu said, "This all started with a misunderstanding a few days ago. Miss Zhao was mistaken for a snake demon and taken away by Senior Brother Taiwu. After being rescued by Anos, Sect Leader Dugu returned to Shushan and asked Senior Brother Taiwu and the other brothers who participated in the operation to reflect on their mistakes.
The headmaster also thought about some things and felt that some of the sect's rules needed to be adjusted, including abolishing the rule of not accepting female disciples. Therefore, I was fortunate enough to become a disciple of Shushan.
Li Xiaoyao was stunned after hearing this and said, "No way, this happened in Shushan before."
Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos mentioned this when he was confronting Taoist Taiwu."
Lin Yueru said, "Can you wait until you finish your business before chatting about family matters?"
The Drunken Sword Immortal said, "Caogu girl, is the Sect Master here? We have something urgent to ask him."
Cao Gu asked, "May I ask who you are?"
The Drunken Swordsman said, "I am his junior apprentice. Just tell him that 'the old drunkard wants to ask him for money for his wine.'"
Cao Gu said, "So it's my uncle. Please forgive me for not knowing your identity. I will go find the master right away." After saying that, Cao Gu left in a hurry.
After two incense sticks of time, Sword Saint Dugu came over with Cao Gu. After seeing the Drunken Sword Immortal, Sword Saint Dugu said, "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be you. Junior brother, why did you think of coming back to visit today?"
The Drunken Swordsman said, "Don't mention it. I was originally traveling in the mortal world, slaying demons and tasting wine.
(Pointing to Li Xiaoyao and the others) But I met them in the capital, and they said something happened. So they came back.
Dugu Jiansheng saw that it was Li Xiaoyao and his group and said, "Why are you here? Why didn't little friend Anos come?"
Lin Yueru saluted Dugu Jiansheng and said, "Yueru greets Uncle Dugu. Something happened to Anos. He broke into the Demon Locking Tower!"
Dugu Jiansheng and Cao Gu were shocked when they heard this. Dugu Jiansheng asked, "What!?"
Lin Yueru handed the farewell letter written by Lin Shen to Dugu Jiansheng. After reading the letter, Dugu Jiansheng was stunned and said, "Niece Lin, I know about the sword. What's the matter with Anos's letter saying that you will die in the Demon Locking Tower?"
The Drunken Swordsman said, "I remember there weren't just the Devil Sword and the Demon-Suppressing Sword, but they were both taken away. How come they're still there?"
Dugu Jiansheng said, "Who told you to go out and have fun all day without coming back to visit?
This happened two years ago. A sword descended upon Mount Shu. It carried an ominous aura, and four or five disciples were injured by it. It took a great deal of effort for me to subdue it, and then I asked the Prison-Suppressing King to place them in the Demon Locking Tower.
Anu said, "In that case, what Brother Anos is looking for should be this sword."
Dugu Jiansheng said, "You haven't answered my question yet. What exactly does this letter mean?!"
Zhao Linger said, "Master Dugu, let me talk about this.
Anos is not from this world, he traveled from another time and space. He knows everything about the original storyline.
It turns out I was mistaken for a snake demon and captured in the Demon Locking Tower. Brother Xiaoyao and Sister Yueru broke into the Demon Locking Tower to save me. Later, the Demon Locking Tower collapsed, and Sister Yueru...
It's also our fault. We should have thought that this was a nightmare in his heart and it would not be so easy to let it go."
Sword Saint Dugu was silent for a long while, and only came to his senses after Cao Gu called him twice in a low voice. Then he thought about Lin Shen's attitude towards him and Shushan, and said, "Now everything makes sense. I felt that the young man was not an ordinary person, and his attitude towards me was not particularly good.
So that's what's going on. But there are so many monsters in the Demon Locking Tower, and they're all quite powerful. What should I do?
Lin Yueru said, "What else can we do? Break in and bring him back."
Cao Gu said, "No! Shushan has a ban, Shushan disciples are not allowed to enter!"
Anu said, "We are not, and we can't watch him take risks alone."
Li Xiaoyao said, "Master, please be kind and let us in. I'm afraid if we delay any longer, something bad will really happen."
Lin Yueru said, "Uncle, you don't know. In order to improve his strength and change his fate, Anos is looking for these swords and wants to merge with them.
But the fusion process will be extremely painful, and if he is alone, something bad will definitely happen."
Dugu Jiansheng closed his eyes and thought about what to do. After half an incense stick of time, Dugu Jiansheng said, "This is the only way. But it is very dangerous in there, you must pay attention to your safety. Especially you, niece Lin."
Lin Yueru said, "Thank you, uncle."
Dugu Jiansheng said, "Get ready and gather in front of the Demon Locking Tower in half an hour. I will escort you inside!"
The Drunken Swordsman called Li Xiaoyao aside and said, "Boy, you and I are considered master and disciple. The Demon Locking Tower is extremely dangerous. I will pass on to you the unique skills I have learned throughout my life. You must memorize the formula!"
Li Xiaoyao bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Master!"
After that, the Drunken Sword Immortal taught Li Xiaoyao the Immortal Wind and Cloud Body Technique, the Drunken Immortal Moon-gazing Steps, and the Wine God's Mantra, and said, "My Wine God move is extremely powerful. But you can only use it nine times in your lifetime, otherwise you will die of exhaustion!
Furthermore, every time you use it, it will deplete all your Qi, so unless it's a critical moment, don't use it casually!"
Li Xiaoyao was startled at first, but after recovering, he said, "Okay, Master! I understand!"
At the appointed time, Li Xiaoyao and his three companions, Cao Gu, Jiu Jianxian, and Dugu Jiansheng, arrived outside the Demon Locking Tower. Dugu Jiansheng said, "Stand on the Bagua formation. I'll chant a spell to send you inside."
Cao Gu said, "You guys, take care on your journey."
Li Xiaoyao and the other three nodded, and then stood on the Bagua formation as Dugu Jiansheng said.
Dugu Jiansheng began to chant spells, and with a burst of white light, Li Xiaoyao and the other three disappeared.
