The Thousand-Handed Ghost King pondered for a moment: "I think we should suspend the siege plan. After we find a way to resist the thunder and lightning, we can resume the siege."
"I agree." Luo Sha Ghost King nodded.
The other ghost kings also had no objections.
Half an hour later, several ghost kings left the tent of the Thousand-Handed Ghost King.
Just as the Thousand-Hand Ghost King was about to get up, he felt a stab of pain in his chest. The Thousand-Hand Ghost King hurriedly took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth. After a while, the Thousand-Hand Ghost King's injuries were slowly suppressed and he took a breath. The Hand Ghost King gritted his teeth and said: "You kid who uses the art of drawing lightning, wait for me. I will crush your bones and turn you into ashes."
…
Late at night.
Huo Yungang was sitting alone in the bedroom meditating. Suddenly, Huo Yungang's expression changed. He slowly opened his eyes: "Is it Kang'er?"
"Master, it's me." Du Kang's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in." Huo Yungang waved his hand and the door opened automatically.
Du Kang, dressed as a scholar, walked into the room quickly and saluted Huo Yungang respectfully: "Master."
"No gift." Huo Yungang picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip: "How is the thing I asked you to do?"
"Reporting to Master, Hua Guolin rarely goes out these days. He spends most of his time in his room recuperating. As for Lin San..." At this point, Du Kang paused. Then he continued: "That Lin San comes out every day. Wander around and occasionally buy some weird stuff.”
"They didn't notice you following you, did they?" Huo Yungang asked calmly.
Du Kang shook his head: "Absolutely not. The disciple disguised himself and changed his appearance. They couldn't recognize him at all. Besides, I was very careful when following him. There was no way they could find me."
"Well, you continue to follow the two of them. If you have any news, please notify me immediately." Huo Yungang said after pondering.
"Yes. If there is nothing else, the disciple will go out first." Du Kang saw Huo Yungang nodded slightly and immediately walked backwards out of the room.
"Creak." Du Kangdang walked out of the room and closed the door directly.
Du Kang took a breath and walked out of the backyard. Then he walked towards the door.
"Elder brother." A little beauty suddenly appeared from the garden next to her. She stood directly in front of Du Kang.
Du Kang was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and said: "Junior sister, why are you here?" The little beauty standing in front of him was Huo Yungang's only daughter Huo Cailing.
Huo Cailing pursed her lips and said, "Where have you been these past few days? You don't come to play with me either. You're almost suffocating me."
"Oh, junior sister, I'm really sorry. I've been too busy these days..." Du Kang apologized hastily.
"Hmph. I don't care if you are busy or not. You must go shopping with me today." Huo Cailing said domineeringly.
There was a trace of embarrassment on Du Kang's face: "Junior sister, I really don't have time... Like this, wait a few days and I will be free. I will definitely accompany you..."
"No. I'm going shopping today." Huo Cailing interrupted Du Kang.
"Junior sister, I really can't do it today..." Du Kang felt depressed. The master told him to go do something. He really didn't have time to accompany Huo Cailing. But Du Kang didn't want to see Huo Cailing angry, so he could only apologize constantly.
At this time, Huo Yungang's rich voice came from the backyard: "Cailing. Don't mess around. Your senior brother has things to do. Stop pestering him. Go back to your room quickly."
Du Kang said hurriedly: "Junior sister, please wait for a few days. I will make it up to you later."
"Hmph. None of you stinky men are good." Huo Cailing stomped her feet, turned around and ran away.
Du Kang's face twitched a few times. At this time, he really wanted to chase Huo Cailing. But when he thought of the task Huo Yungang had just assigned, Du Kang put down the foot he had just raised, took a deep breath, and walked straight out of the door.
…
Hua Guolin has been very depressed recently. Very depressed. His illegitimate son was killed, but he can't kill his enemy. Just yesterday, Hua Guolin once again contradicted Zu Qianshou. He kept saying that he wanted to seek revenge from Lin San. But Zu Qianshou was killed. He was scolded severely. In the end, Zu Qianshou even said harsh words. He said that if Hua Guolin dared to seek revenge on Lin San privately, he would be expelled from the Wuji Sect. However, Zu Qianshou also promised that he would wait until the ghost cultivator was defeated. After the attack, Zu Qianshou will kill Lin San and avenge Liu Jinnan.
evening.
Hua Guolin came out of his residence, walked through several streets, and came to a pub.
"Senior, you are here." A man who looked like a shopkeeper came over and greeted him respectfully. During these days, Hua Guolin would come to this tavern to drink basically every day. Although the size of this tavern is small, the wine brewed is delicious. It is indeed very mellow.
Hua Guolin nodded. He walked to the window and sat down.
"Senior, it's still the same." the shopkeeper asked.
"Yes. Two jars of good wine and six appetizers." Hua Guolin reached out and took out a mid-level spiritual stone and placed it on the table.
"Senior, wait a moment. The food and wine will be here soon." The shopkeeper happily picked up two spiritual stones and left.
In a short time, the food and wine were served.
Hua Guolin opened the seal of the jar, raised the jar and drank it. Wine is indeed a good thing, especially when people are in a strong mood. Wine can really numb the nerves and make worries temporarily forgotten. Hua Guolin deliberately did not change his mind. The mana in his body made the alcohol anesthetize him even more.
Time passed. More than an hour passed.
Hua Guolin continued to drink. He didn't eat much of the six dishes on the table. Speaking of Hua Guolin, his life experience was quite tragic. Just after he was born, Hua Guolin's mother died of hemorrhage. A few years later, Hua Guolin's father also died of illness. Hua Guolin, who became an orphan, relied on the help of his neighbors every day to survive. Later, Hua Guolin became seriously ill. When he was dying, he was killed by an old Taoist priest who traveled around the world. Rescued. This old Taoist priest was a profound immortal cultivator. He saw that Hua Guolin had good qualifications for cultivating immortals, so he made an exception and accepted Hua Guolin as his apprentice. After that, Hua Guolin followed the old Taoist priest and left. Village... Later, Hua Guolin learned that the old Taoist priest was actually the head of the Wuji Sect. At that time, the reputation of the Wuji Sect was not very famous, but it still had a certain status in the Blood Moon Continent.
The difficult environment forged Hua Guolin's perseverance and ability to endure hardships. The most important thing in cultivating immortality is persistence. Through Hua Guolin's unremitting efforts, his cultivation level became higher and higher. It only took ten years. . He reached the peak state of the Qi training and foundation building period. He ended up in seclusion for a year and finally condensed the golden elixir.
Thirty years later, Hua Guolin's cultivation reached the late stage of Jindan. At this time, the head of Wuji Sect passed away. The death of his master was a huge blow to Hua Guolin. He sat in front of his master's cave every day. He was in a daze. In Hua Guolin's heart, he had long regarded his master as a relative. And he was his only relative.
