After Wu Yue appeared from the painting, her clothes became the same modern clothes as last night. However, the bun on her head was still the same as in the painting. With a faint smile on her gentle face, she walked toward us through the shadows under the eaves.
Her footsteps were gentle, but her speed wasn't slow at all. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of me and the fatty. However, we were standing under the sun, and she didn't seem to like the sunlight. She frowned and didn't say anything. Then, she flashed into the main hall.
After entering, her movements became gentle again, and she returned to her calmness from last night.
From her gait, rather than saying that she was walking, it was more like she was floating. In addition, she was afraid of the sunlight, so I made a judgment in my heart.
She was a ghost.
Only ghosts had no weight. When they walked, it was as though they were floating in the air. They were extremely fast.
It was the same for Tong Tong and the snake spirit, who were sleeping on my body. One of them was a ghost infant, while the other was a snake spirit soul. They had no weight, and they walked very fast.
On the other hand, when a ghost cultivated to the Heavenly Master realm, they were no longer afraid of sunlight. However, out of instinct, they still hated sunlight.
It was the same for Wu Yue, Tong Tong, and the snake spirit.
This was also the reason why Wu Yue didn't want to stand under the sun and communicate with us. Instead, she flashed into the main hall.
I called the fatty and returned to the main hall. I raised my head to look at Wu Yue.
Her cultivation was profound. Although she was a ghost, her body was extremely solid. She was no different from an ordinary person. Even I couldn't see the difference.
At this moment, Wu Yue stood in the main hall. She turned her head and looked around. She sighed and said, "This place used to be full of incense. Back then, when we escaped from Mount Longhu, we passed by the village at the foot of the mountain. We found something strange about this place, so we built a temple here and stayed.
On one hand, we helped the villagers solve their doubts, and on the other, we explored the mysteries of this place. The villagers loved and respected us. "
At first, I was a little confused, but I soon got it.
This Wu Yue was actually Daoist Yunyou's Taoist companion. This Mount Tai Saint Mother Temple was built by them together!
No wonder she said that she was the master of the Goddess Temple of Mount Tai.
At this moment, Wu Yue's voice paused for a moment. He turned his head and his gaze landed on the ox bone altar in the corner. He continued, "The two of us stayed here for two years. The Daoist priest finally discovered the secret of this place. He told me to guard the temple here and not let anyone else, especially the people from Dragon Tiger Mountain, discover this place.
After that, he went to that place, and this trip lasted for a hundred years. "
"After the Daoist priest left, I was left alone. During this time, the Daoist priests from Dragon Tiger Mountain passed by here several times. Although they didn't see my shadow, they still made me very afraid.
If the Daoist priest was here, the two of us could join forces and the Daoist priest of Mount Longhu wouldn't be our match. However, the Daoist priest didn't come out. I was afraid of being discovered by the people of Mount Longhu, so I entered the dreams of the villagers and had them destroy my temple. I tore down the sculptures and side halls. From then on, the incense sticks in this place withered and people were rarely seen.
That's how we had a hundred years of peace. "
Wu Yue retracted his gaze and looked at the forest at the foot of the mountain. He continued, "But a month ago, the Daoist priest of Mount Longhu still found this place. Even though I cleaned up the traces I left behind hundreds of times, they still found some clues. Even the thing that my Daoist priest was looking for was found by them."
"They thought that after discovering these things, they would be able to force me to submit. However, things are different now. I've been protecting the Daoist priest for all these years and I've already become a Yang God Celestial Master, so those people are no match for me. In the end, only a peak Celestial Master and a Yang God Celestial Master escaped with injuries. The others were trapped in the Extinction Seal by me."
After saying so much in one breath, Wu Yue's voice finally stopped.
I, on the other hand, felt a little dizzy as I thought about what she had said.
According to her, she and her Daoist companion originally had a grudge against Mount Longhu. After they escaped, they lived here and built this temple. Later, the two of them found something in this place. The Daoist priest went to look for it, while she stayed here to wait. Recently, people from Mount Longhu came to find them.
This story sounded reasonable, but I still had some questions in my heart.
First of all, her cultivation base. Generally speaking, ghosts were slightly weaker than human Celestial Masters at the same realm. However, Wu Yue was only a Yang God Celestial Master, yet she was able to injure a Yang God Celestial Master and a peak Celestial Master of Mount Longhu. She also captured so many people with lower cultivation bases. This shocked me.
Secondly, although this story sounded normal, it had nothing to do with me.
Why did she know about me? Why did she go down the mountain to find me and ask me to leave this place? I still didn't have an answer.
Finally, the Daoist priest mentioned in her story went to a place and didn't come out for a hundred years.
I came here at Lu Zhenyang's invitation. Although Lu Zhenyang didn't say it clearly, I guessed that he wanted to enter Chiyou's Skull Tomb.
In that case, was the place that the Daoist priest went to Chiyou's Skull Tomb?
There were many questions. I thought about it and felt that I should first ask about the grudge between the couple and Mount Longhu.
I raised my head to look at Wu Yue and asked her, "May I know what kind of grudge there is between Senior and Mount Longhu?"
Wu Yue shook her head, her expression a little gloomy. She said, "It's not really a grudge … It's just a grudge.
Back then, my Daoist priest was also a member of Mount Longhu and a Daoist of Mount Longhu. After we became Daoist companions, we were not accepted by Mount Longhu.
That Celestial Master Zhang even forced my Daoist priest to kill me.
Of course, the Daoist priest didn't kill me. Instead, he took me away from there and hid from Mount Longhu. In the end, with the help of the dangerous terrain, we escaped from Mount Longhu and settled down. "
The people of the Righteous Dao of Mount Longhu were actually Daoist priests who didn't become monks. They could marry and eat meat. However, the Daoist of the Righteous Dao was different.
On Mount Longhu, other than Celestial Master Zhang, the person with the highest status was the Daoist.
Unlike Celestial Master Zhang, who was hereditary and relied on bloodline inheritance, the Daoist was chosen from all the disciples with the best physique and established from a young age.
Every time a Daoist died, another Daoist would be chosen. Therefore, the Daoist of Mount Longhu usually had an extremely high cultivation base. Under the circumstances that Celestial Master Zhang wouldn't easily appear, they almost represented the highest combat power of Mount Longhu.
I never expected that the Daoist priest who built the Temple of Mount Tai would have such an identity.
I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say.
Love was the most complicated thing in the world. It was unbelievable that the Daoist priest, as a Daoist priest, would fall in love with a ghost like Wu Yue.
After all, Mount Longhu had always taken the responsibility of slaying demons and devils. They were the most ruthless towards evil beings and wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Under such circumstances, Mount Longhu naturally couldn't tolerate a pair of ill-fated lovebirds like them.
After listening to this story, I thought of Tao Wu. Our situation was quite similar to that of the couple. Fortunately, my identity wasn't like the Daoist priest's. Otherwise, there would have been more twists and turns.
And this story also answered my first question.
The cultivation of the Daoist of Mount Longhu must be extraordinary. Since Wu Yue was his Daoist companion, he must have learned some things from him. With the body of a ghost, under the circumstances of the same cultivation, defeating a human cultivator was not too unbelievable.
After pondering for a moment, I was about to ask other questions when Wu Yue spoke first. She looked at me with a faint smile and suddenly asked, "When the two of you went up the mountain, you must have seen the Daoist priests in the forest, right?"
I nodded. I didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned this.
Before I could figure it out, Wu Yue continued, "At first, the two of you didn't listen to my advice and insisted on staying here. I wanted to send the two of you into the Suicide Seal, but after thinking about it, I gave up on that idea."
I frowned and looked up at her. I didn't know what she meant by that.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Wu Yue said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, you have the Xuan Yuan Sword in your hand, and Brother Linhu is a formation genius. Although my Suicide Seal is powerful, it can't trap the two of you.
If I let you in, it won't take long for the formation to be broken. When that time comes, the Daoist priests of Mount Longhu will benefit. "
My expression instantly changed.
I was about to ask her how she knew about me, but before I could ask, she told me more about me. She even knew about the Xuan Yuan Sword!
She also told me about the fatty's identity!
