Chapter 0002 Cause and Effect
The hunchbacked old man chuckled upon hearing the words: "Mu Wutian had also insulted this old servant in the same way before."
Old guy ?
Mu Qianlan could tell that the hunchbacked old man was unwilling to delve deep into this topic, nor did he want to be forced. She glanced outside the courtyard into the distance, only to see Zhang Pinchao and Zhang Zhongying standing outside, without helping to put out the fire. She suppressed a hint of disappointment in her heart and changed the subject: "Could you please enlighten me, why did the mysterious Mu Wutian suddenly appear? And why did he only start a fire and then leave?"
The elderly hunchback squinted his eyes, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Eyelashes tremble.
Within his body, whether it's the muscles or the tendons, the bones or the internal organs, all are covered in a dark gray substance, which contains a potent toxin. This toxin is constantly eroding his body and undermining his physiological functions.
The sun sets in the west, and the evening glow burns the sky like fire. Flocks of geese fly south, adding a touch of vivid beauty to the painting of dusk. On the wall of "Zhenyao Fang", the laughter is deafening, like thunder in the sky, shaking the formation of the geese in the air, causing them to scatter suddenly.
The hunchbacked old man doesn't care!
Zhang Zhongying felt extremely embarrassed and annoyed.
Successfully crossed the tribulation, but at the moment of traversing the void, it caused spatial fluctuations, and the spatial levels became chaotic. His body was destroyed in the violent spatial turbulence, leaving only a trace of divine consciousness that arrived here. Unexpectedly, the Book of Life and Death was actually preserved.
Since that's the case, I'll just do Ye Tong first!
High temperature.
The hunchbacked old man respectfully said, "The Yin-Yang old monster, Mu Wutian."
A strand of fresh blood.
The hunchbacked old man slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on the stunning young girl. In his cloudy eyes, a hint of gratitude flashed by. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your help. May I know how to address you, miss?"
Mu Qianlan's pretty face turned red, realizing that she had just thoroughly examined a young man's body. Immediately, she turned around with a sense of embarrassment and stepped aside. Except for herself, no one knew how fast her heart was beating in that instant. However, after a few short breaths, her heart sank again, feeling heavy in her chest.
The Divine Appearance of the Hemp Robe...
The hunchbacked old man gave a cold glance at Zhang Zhongying struggling to climb up from the corner of the wall, sighed inwardly "ignorant", turned around and rushed towards the side courtyard. The fire was getting bigger and it was too late to put it out. What he needed to do was to ensure the safety of Ye Tong in the side courtyard.
Outside.
Ye Tong disdainfully said, "Although the old man has done many evil deeds, he has also planted seeds of fear in the hearts of his enemies. They dare only to make noise here, destroy things and vent their anger, but they never dare to harm our lives. These cowards can only be bullied."
One's skills are inferior to others, one can only endure.
Mu Wutian showed a disdainful expression, and in the blink of an eye, a beautifully exquisite blue and white porcelain bottle was grasped in his hand. As the bottle stopper was opened, streams of medicine, resembling silver needles in thickness, shot towards various parts of the courtyard. At the same time, Mu Wutian flicked his finger, causing a cloud of phosphorus powder to scatter.
Fear the master of the old slave...
Zhang Zhongying's eyes were filled with resentment and bitterness. However, as soon as she spoke, her words were sternly stopped by Zhang Pinshou's gaze.
Ye Tong turned around and looked towards the north, where lies a range of mountains spanning thousands of miles, containing countless treasures of heaven and earth, as well as numerous dangers. After a while, he calmly said, "If it's destroyed, then let it be destroyed! We should also go out and take a walk. Before we leave, I'll go see that little girl first..."
Time passes.
During the eruption of brilliance, the flowing images, various rare characters converge into a river, forming a river, ultimately flowing into the sea of knowledge, entwining with his memory, and merging...
The hunchbacked old man squinted his eyes, despite the cold gleam in his eyes, he remained silent. He was well aware of Mu Wutian's background. With his cultivation strength, he was no match for Mu Wutian at all. Even the two old men beside Mu Wutian posed a great sense of threat to him.
Father...
Ye Tong sneered and said, "Coward."
In the mind of the hunchbacked old man, there emerged all the care that the young master had shown before.
This is the most unreal feeling for Ye Tong.
A crowd of people in the courtyard.
Mu Qianlan.
After a long time.
Time.
As if it passed in the blink of an eye, yet it seemed to flow through countless epochs.
The hunchbacked old man smiled bitterly and said, "Young master, Zhenyao Pharmacy has been destroyed. What should we do?"
The pain is gradually diminishing.
At this moment.
The hunchbacked old man's face changed dramatically, and he burst out with a resolute momentum all over his body.
Various phenomena exist in the world, and every cause has its effect.
Within the secluded courtyard house, Ye Tong, sitting cross-legged in a stone tub, is enduring intense pain. Following the route of the "Cleansing Marrow Poison Scripture," she is controlling a strand of true qi in her meridians, allowing it to flow slowly.
He slowly opened his eyes. On his pale and delicate face, a mixed expression of joy and sorrow appeared, making him look particularly strange. A language different from this world floated out from his slightly parted lips.
Yè Tóng's head was hit by a falling purple coffin, and he immediately felt his soul trembling. Within his sea of consciousness, the mass of radiance that he had been suppressing for ten years seemed to have been summoned and was rapidly expanding.
Memory Fusion, but it is led by Ye Tian, yet the youthful temperament of Ye Tong, for some unknown reason, has been preserved.
Mu Wutian hummed a cold air from his nostrils, and Senran said, "Back then, the Poisonous Old Demon flooded my Bi Gong Island with poison water and spread intestinal medicine, destroying my hundred acres of medicinal fields. Today, I will set fire to his poisonous lair and destroy his livelihood. Do you have any objections?"
Amidst a burst of laughter, Mu Wutian and two other elderly men suddenly left.
The hunchbacked old man asked, "You want to know why he didn't just kill us directly, but only set fire and left? Hehe... He's afraid!"
The beautiful girl sighed lightly, shook her head at Zhang Zhongying, and a pleasant voice sounded: "The strange Yin-Yang elder Mu Wutian, the top powerhouse of the food chain in the Tianwang Empire, it is rumored that he has already broken through the innate realm. This person's actions are both right and wrong. He has long lived on the Bi'an Island in the South China Sea. If he wishes, he can exterminate the Zhang family in half an hour, and if he wishes, he can destroy the entire Hanshan City in one day."
Ye Tian ... ...
From all directions, people rushed in, making the room feel like a steamer. The sparks gradually grew into a raging fire, and even buckets of icy well water could only slow down the flames. The purple coffin hanging from the ceiling fell due to the burning ropes, and landed on Ye Tong's head, who was standing next to the stone bucket.
Zhang Zhongying is in a very bad mood, extremely bad. She came here today and was first humiliated by Ye Tong, then intimidated by the hunchbacked old man. Now, several inexplicable people have appeared and they regard her as an ant, trapping her in the fire.
Although she felt that Mu Wutian was not a good person, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart and angrily rebuked, "Old man, setting fires recklessly is a heinous crime. Aren't you afraid of the laws and regulations of Hanshan City?"
She knows the details and character of the stunning girl, so she never doubts her words. That terrifying presence, daring to speak disrespectfully, if he didn't kill her, it's probably just sheer luck, right?
The young master is different.
Coward...
Zhenyao Fang was burned to ruins in a raging fire, with the pungent smell of burnt lingering in the high temperature. The disheveled hunchbacked old man gazed at the side room where the flames were extinguished, and at the young man sitting cross-legged in the stone tub.
I'm sorry, but there is no content provided for me to translate. Please provide the content you want me to translate.
The book is divided into four pages, with two different colors. The top two pages are white, while the bottom two pages are black.
Mu Wutian sneered and turned to look at the hunchbacked old man, saying in a deep voice, "I don't care if Huo Laomo is alive or dead, or if he is playing tricks and conspiracies. In any case, I vented my anger, hahaha..."
As if the sound of eggshells cracking, but like thunder exploding in Ye Tong's mind.
What has he experienced? How much pain and torment has he suffered?
The scene in his mind, finally frozen in a certain day in memory, was deep in the vast mountains, with towering mountains and rivers, where tigers roared, monkeys howled, and dragons coiled. The deep blue sky slowly closed its hundred-zhang-wide cracks.
Huo Lanqiu, the poisonous demon, has a cunning and vicious personality. He is naturally violent and tends to lash out when in a bad mood, either through physical abuse or verbal insults. Whenever the young master is around, he will protect him, even if it means taking the beatings and verbal abuse that were originally meant for him, and enduring Huo Lanqiu's even more brutal poison experiments.
When the medicine liquid comes into contact with the phosphorus powder, a sudden burst of flames erupts, like a surging tide of flames, spreading rapidly and instantly igniting any building where the medicine liquid falls.
His arms lifted gently, and between his palms lay the purple coffin that had fallen into the liquid medicine. As his fingers gently rubbed on it, the black and white flowing light lingering on it drilled into his palm, then, as if with a clear target, easily entered his sea of consciousness. Finally, the white light merged with the bright light, forming a scroll.
The hunchbacked old man neither denied nor affirmed.
Book of Life and Death!
The hunchbacked old man has no relatives, not even Huo Lanqiu, who has followed him for decades, has made him feel the slightest bit of closeness.
Ye Tong let go of the purple coffin and slowly stood up from the stone bucket. As he covered his body, which was covered with crisscrossing scars, with a well-preserved velvet coat, he calmly said while fastening the belt, "If you've seen enough, wait outside."
What?! Zhang Zhongying's face suddenly changed drastically upon hearing this, her body trembled violently, and her heart seemed to be struck by thunder, filled with deep regret that surged like a tide, filling her heart.
Here is a new world, a cultivation world that is millions of times more exciting than Earth. Therefore, he needs to use Ye Tong's identity for rebirth and step into this world.
House, just let it be destroyed!
The cause sown by the master in the past, today is the fruit of humiliation.
Oops...
His appearance, his concern, the torment he has suffered in the past for himself, has warmed his heart and made him believe that in this lifetime, he has found his only family.
Mu Wutian's eyes twitched at the corner, and in the moment his arm swung out, a loud slap resounded. This slap sent Zhang Zhongying flying seven or eight meters away, heavily hitting the base of the courtyard wall. The well-maintained cheek of Zhang Zhongying showed a bright red palm print, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
The toxins of the Hundred Venomous Liquid, as if possessing cleansing effects, gradually become lighter and less in the passage of time. Meanwhile, the physiological functions within Ye Tong's body also begin to slowly repair themselves.
Old dog ?
Ye Tong dressed neatly, and after entering the courtyard, he looked at the hunchbacked old man with a concerned expression and asked lightly, "Who is it this time?"
In Ye Tong's body, every pore is fully relaxed, and the viscous dark green venom contains extremely strong toxicity. It seeps into his relaxed pores, strand by strand, like a woven web, spreading layer by layer, covering one after another.
However !
Even if it means death, he will protect the young master thoroughly.
Zhang Pinshou's face was gloomy, but he did not make any rash moves. His gaze turned towards the beautiful young woman, only to find that she silently shook her head at him.
Boom...
Dripping down Ye Tong's face, it fell into the potion. In just a few breaths, the faint blood merged into the bottom of the purple coffin, causing the purple coffin to suddenly burst into a dazzling light of black and white, entwining like two ferocious beasts, fighting and competing in the most primitive manner.
The wounds on his body...
After Mu Wutian laughed heartily, he sneered and said, "Old dog, I heard that your master has disappeared. Could it be that he was silently taken out by his enemies because he had too many of them?"
What are you afraid of?
The appearance of the stunning girl may be a bit disheveled, and her face is somewhat blackened by the fireworks, but she still smiles warmly. Her eyes, like stars, gaze at Ye Tong in the side room and ask, "Is he unwell?"
After a long time.
It's okay.
How could it be so terrifying?
Life and death, humiliation.
Instantly trapped in a sea of fire.
You foolish child, using the law to threaten me? Hmph... That thing is nothing in my eyes.
Pa...
But he cares about Ye Tong, who is currently in a critical situation!
Fierce flames, burning more and more intensely.
Shattered Void...
I am...
However !
