Demonic Calamity Across the Heavens: Starting with Little Li's Flying Dagger

Chapter 35 Heavenly secrets are unpredictable, madman, where is the immortal land?

The old man in the blue robe twitched his eyelids, tapped the two-foot-long pipe in his hand against the sole of his foot, and finally opened his drooping eyelids.

He was old and frail, but his eyes, which shone brightly, were unusually youthful, sparkling and radiant, carrying a vitality that even young people might not possess, yet also concealing a carefree spirit born of years of experience.

As soon as their gazes shifted, everyone in the temple tensed up. Many people, as if they had seen some kind of monstrous flood, frightened themselves so much that they placed their hands on their weapons, sweat pouring down their foreheads.

Master!

An absolute master!

Sweat beaded on Xue Yingzi's temples, his mind went blank for a moment, and he immediately recognized the angle. In a flash, he blurted out:

"The Heavenly Secret Staff!"

Xue Yingzi was not listed on the Weapon Ranking because his strength was sufficient and he did not need the recognition of the Weapon Ranking. He also knew Pinghu Baixiaosheng and could easily take his head.

However, in terms of true strength, Xue Yingzi knew that he was no match for the top three and was probably between fourth and tenth. The outcome would depend on his condition during the fight.

So when Xue Yingzi saw the old man's eyes and instantly understood the difference in strength between himself and the enemy, he figured out the other party's identity.

The mere three words "Heavenly Secret Staff" were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake when they landed in the Mountain God Temple, instantly stirring up a thousand waves. Several gazes of awe, surprise, and peculiarities were cast upon the old man, and some even thought their gazes were discreetly shifting between the old man and Wei Wu.

This is number one on the weapons list!

Sun Baifa, the "Heavenly Secret Staff," who has been elusive for many years!

Lin Xian'er, no longer caring about being flirtatious, stared intently at Wei Wu's profile with her misty eyes. There was no longer a trace of jealousy in her heart, only a deep longing for Wei Wu.

He has me in his heart!

She immediately felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively looked at Sun Xiaohong.

When the two of them were outside, she teased Sun Xiaohong a bit, saying that if she couldn't make it outside, she could offer herself to Wei Wu as his adopted daughter. She said that no matter how hard or tiring it was, it would only be mental exhaustion, which would be much better than sleeping in the open.

She wouldn't tell Grandpa this, would she?

Lin Xian'er looked at Sun Xiaohong nervously, her wet eyes filled with lingering fear, and there was no trace of that flirtatious air about her; she looked like a respectable woman.

Sun Xiaohong didn't say anything more, but her curious gaze fell on the corner, looking at the beggar who had stopped snoring, and she asked in doubt, "Is he also an expert?"

"Yes, it's 'Madman' Hu Bugui."

Wei Wu was so certain because he had collected the martial arts skills of the two men when he came to the mountain god temple.

The martial arts style of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, Sun Baifa, is called "Heavenly Secrets Are Unpredictable" or "As You Wish". It describes the idea of ​​"the body as floating as clouds, the mind as still as water, without any attachments, and the stick being used as one pleases".

This martial art is actually not very strong, nor can it be considered particularly skillful. However, Sun Baifa lived a long time, surpassing 90% of the martial arts practitioners in the world. His internal strength had reached its peak, and he had already reached the realm of "not being bound by form." He also happened to be born at the right time—the Happy King Chai Yuguan's massacre of martial arts prodigies caused the transmission of martial arts schools and major forces to be cut off, leaving a gap between the young and the old.

Among the many young people, he was an elder, and his internal strength alone was enough to overwhelm all the heroes. Moreover, his skills and abilities were not bad either, which is why Bai Xiaosheng listed him as the number one on the weapon ranking list.

On the contrary, it is "Madman" Hu Bugui, who is not ranked on the weapons list, but whose martial arts are unfathomable. In the original work, he even captured Li Xunhuan with a single move and four variations. Although his internal energy cultivation is not particularly high, he has learned a wide variety of skills, including the authentic internal martial arts "Eighteen Falling Techniques", the authentic Wudang "Seventy-Two Styles of Capturing Hands", the authentic Shaolin "Dislocating Tendons and Bones Hands", and the authentic secret skills of the frontier...

Any one of his skills could easily sweep aside everyone present except for Sun Baifa and Wei Wu!

If it were a case of the prepared attack being launched into an unprepared one, even Sun Baifa would likely be defeated by him.

Wei Wu was not afraid. At this time, he had already mastered the Lianhua Treasure Mirror. Although he had not yet mastered the Little Li Flying Dagger, he had still figured out the way and walked a different path from Li Xunhuan. In addition, with his unparalleled poison skills, even if Hu Bugui was caught off guard, he could easily counter Hu Bugui with poison.

This is Cao Cao's confidence.

But that doesn't mean he'll let his guard down against Hu Bugui—

The world of Gu Long is not like the world of Jin Yong. Before fighting, you have to give a heads-up and remind them that "I'm going to fight you." Normally, it's a case of the many fighting the few, or poisoning first and then fighting.

So from the moment Wei Wu entered the mountain temple, he had already secretly poisoned Sun Baifa, Sun Xiaohong, and Hu Bugui.

The slap that hit Qin Zhong was very hard. At the same time, while he was knocking over the incense table and the incense ash was being thrown out of the incense burner, he silently put a poison into the fire.

This poison is odorless but has color. Fortunately, after being burned by flames, it only flashes with an indigo light, which fills the mountain god temple with wisps of blue smoke.

This is why Wei Wuming, knowing that something bad was going to happen in the mountain god temple, still insisted on going out with Lin Xian'er. He needed to buy time to ensure that Sun Baifa and Hu Bugui posed no threat to him.

From beginning to end, the Five Poison Child was merely a means for him to gain fame and a pastime while traveling; he never took the gambling match to heart.

Sometimes, victory or defeat isn't decided on the chessboard!

If you lose a drug fight, just kill the person.

Sun Baifa remained silent, twirling the tobacco in his pipe. With a flick of his wrist, the pipe glowed, a flame a mix of orange and indigo. He held it in place, rubbed it with his thumb, took a deep drag, and only after it had passed through his lungs did he speak:

"The younger generation is truly formidable."

Hu Bugui made no move. Even though he knew everyone knew he was awake, he still pretended to be asleep. He covered his face with his tattered straw hat, continued to hug Qingzhu and shake his legs, and was too lazy to pay attention to everyone.

No one cared – Sun Baifa had heard of the saying "Heaven's secrets are unpredictable," but most people didn't know who Hu Bugui was.

Those who knew about it felt slighted by Hu Bugui's behavior and naturally didn't bother to offer their help.

Everyone stared intently at this side, but in the end, no one dared to come closer. Only Sun Baifa, Sun Xiaohong, and Wei Wuzhu were around the fire, a total of three and a half people.

Sun Baifa puffed on his cigarette and suddenly said, "People in the martial arts world call me 'the old man's secrets are unpredictable,' saying how powerful this Ruyi Cudgel is. But what I'm most proud of isn't my martial arts, but my intelligence."

I wouldn't dare say I know everything about the affairs of the martial world, but there are few secrets that the old man doesn't know.

There's only one thing...

He happened to be smoking at that moment, the sparks in his pipe flickering, just like the survival instinct in everyone's hearts, making them stare longingly in his direction.

Sun Xiaohong chuckled and chimed in, "Grandpa, what could possibly be hidden from you?"

"Look," Sun Baifa moved his mouth away, pointing his green cigarette holder at Wei Wu, and said, "Isn't that the kid!"

His excessively youthful eyes stared at Wei Wu, their brilliance overshadowing the firelight. "I've exhausted all means and connections, but the only information I could find about you was that you were rescued by Lin Shiyin at Xingyun Manor a year ago."

But why are you at Xingyun Manor? And where did you get your martial arts skills and poison techniques?

"I have not found a single piece of information."

He sighed as he spoke.

He rubbed his slightly hunched back and said, "As I get older, it's easy to have trouble sleeping when I have something on my mind. So I brought my granddaughter to see you in person and asked for an answer."

He asked solemnly:

"May I ask where your immortal abode is, who your master is, and what your relationship is with the 'Thousand-Faced Gentleman'?"

Wang Lianhua, the "Thousand-Faced Gentleman," is the creator of the Lianhua Treasure Mirror!
