Yu Xianqing is not an ordinary person, he is obviously more knowledgeable than ordinary people. Although most of the things like amulets and Peach Wood Swords can be recognized as Taoist things, people who see them for the first time will definitely be surprised.
Especially in the modern age, which advocates science and opposes feudal superstition, ordinary people will show incredulous expressions in reaction to these things.
But Yu Xianqing is very calm, this kind of performance can only show that the other party is not ignorant about such matters and has probably seen such things.
“Is there a problem?”
Hearing his question, Chu Huai almost subconsciously made a protective gesture and circled Yu Ke in his arms, his eyes a little cold.
Although Taoists are not uncommon in the apocalyptic days, it is also unusual, and it is easy to attract people’s attention, especially Yu Xianqing’s unstable factors.
He stared at him coldly, giving Yu Xianqing the illusion that he was suddenly falling into an ice cellar.
Yu Xianqing told himself that he had met many people in his life, most fierce and evil, and some good, but no one had ever made him shiver with a single look.
He felt an indescribable fear for the man in front of him, and his strong instinct made him take a step back before he dared to smile and spoke again boldly.
“Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Chu- I do not have any malicious intent, I’m just curious. Your little hero knows Taoism and he is so powerful. I thought it was just something performed on TV. It turns out that the charms of ancient martial arts are all true…”
If he did not know the fierce reputation of this guy in his previous life then he would’ve just been another man who was good at talking. Although Chu Huai had never dealt with the other, he still knew Yu Xianqing’s temper.
This enchanting evildoer has never been courteous, there would always be someone else kneeling and begging this guy for mercy, and there is no way for this guy to be flattered.
He didn’t have time to speak riddles with the other so Chu Huai interrupted him.
“Speak clearly.”
The cold gaze made Yu Xianqing’s heart tremble again, this kind of unwarranted fear really made him depressed.
Chu Huai didn’t do anything, but he didn’t know why, he just felt that the other party was very dangerous.
It’s not that he has never seen a person who knows Taoism, he is much more powerful than those previous guys he’d seen, but no one like Chu Huai makes him feel so embarrassed. He couldn’t back down no matter how scared, the Taoist skills of these people were not like ordinary Taoist sorcerers, he had to follow and see.
After thousands of thoughts passed through his mind, Yu Xianqing mustered up his courage and continued to show his flattering expression.

“Can not!”
Without waiting for Chu Huai’s answer, Yu Ke spoke first, expressing his disagreement with a strong affirmative tone.
Yu Xianqing asked urgently, “Why?”
“Because you are too good-looking!”
Yu Ke was blunt, staring with his black eyes full of vigilance as he bluntly and fully explained what it means to look good is also wrong, and what it means to face the consequences of it.
Chu Huai’s straight-lined lips rose to show a slight smile, and then he nodded.
“Yes, because you are too good-looking.”
Yu Xianqing wanted to complain in tears. He never thought that his being rejected from the invitation to join the team turned out to be because of his proud beauty…
This group of people has not allowed him to join the team because of his good looks?! This was jealousy, the little guy was clearly jealous!
He was indignant, since plan A didn’t work, then plan B should. Yu Xianqing had been in trouble for many years, and with his shameless spirit, how could he be defeated by this setback?
Yu Xianqing made persistent efforts and put forward attractive conditions.
“Mr. Chu, I have a lot of top-quality jade stones, which are very useful for you to learn Taoism. They can all be given to you. You will not lose out when you team up with me!”
“We also have a lot of jade, we don’t need it anymore.”
Yu Ke flatly spoke, disliking his opposition, and resolutely refused to let this beauty who looks better than himself into the team.
The thoughts in the young man’s heart are all written on his face.
Yu Xianqing was about to die of depression, and roared inwardly: You little guy, who is willing to approach your man when he exudes such a cold aura- kind of like an air-conditioner anytime and anywhere… He is not interested in such a cruel man!
Trying to hold back the depressed heart, he looked at the survivors who were working hard to chop the heads of the zombies over there.
Yu Xianqing signaled Chu Huai and Yu Ke to get to the bathroom, he locked the door and then continued to whisper.
“Mr. Chu, I know a secret, a secret that is great for you cultivators. I will exchange this with you. Can you bring me?”
“…”
Chu Huai didn’t speak, his heart jumped, remembering that the reason why this evildoer had been killed in his previous life was because of a secret.
Yu Ke didn’t care about any good secrets at all, he stared at Yu Xianqing, a little angry.
“Why do you have to follow us? You are amazing by yourself!”
“It’s not enough to be just good, it is safer to follow you…”
Yu Xianqing’s enchanting face showed a flattering smile, seizing the opportunity to continue.
“Mr. Chu, I don’t know if you remember the earthquake yesterday? You are practitioners of Taoism and refining arts. I think you should know better than me what happened. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is being restored, and the declining Hundred Schools of Taoism will open its doors again. Now, as cultivators, don’t you want to seize this opportunity to gain enlightenment?”
“What are you trying to say…” Chu Huai pondered.
“I wonder if Mr. Chu is interested in the tomb of Dao Zu?”
Yu Xianqing is no longer just showing a few chips, and he is confident that as long as he says this, Chu Huai will immediately agree to his team’s requirements.
But unfortunately, Chu Huai had no idea what he was talking about…
Yu Ke stared at him too, with doubts in his eyes, obviously not understanding what he was understanding.
Upon seeing this, this time it was Yu Xianqing’s turn to become depressed again, and tentatively said, “You… don’t know about the tomb of Dao Zu?”
“I don’t know, talk like a human!”
Chu Huai said so in a deep voice, his patience was not very good.
When the words fell, Yu Xianqing couldn’t stretch it anymore, and he exclaimed in shock.
“You don’t even know the tomb of Dao Zu! As people who cultivate, how come you don’t know Dao Zu? My god, which mountain did you come from? You don’t even know Dao Zu!”
It’s not that Yu Xianqing was shocked. In his cognition, this should be a clear thing everyone in the practice circle should know. Not only the cultivators but also those who practice the ancient martial arts have heard of it. This is almost a matter of common sense.
Incredibly, Chu Huai and his group can learn such a profound and special technique but they haven’t even heard of any of the Taoist ancestors.
However, looking at the two strange ones in front of him, it seemed that they didn’t know, Yu Xianqing could only hold back the shock, and was kind enough to tell them what he thought was common knowledge.
“Do you know why the ancient martial arts of the Hundred Schools of Taoism fell and became the feudal superstition today? Why did the heaven and earth aura dry up for thousands of years? That’s right, the Dao Zu did this!”
“I can’t explain to you who this guy is, because everyone doesn’t know his real identity, you only need to know that this guy is a madman…”
“According to legend, more than two thousand years ago, this world had a lot of spiritual energy. At that time, the many schools of arts and ancient martial arts were prosperous, and it was not just a legend like they are today.”
“But suddenly one day, the aura of the world began to decrease sharply. At first, everyone didn’t notice it, but it didn’t take long for the practitioners of Taoism to find that the aura began to no longer circulate…”
“Do you know what that meant at that time? It means that the world was ending. Once the remaining spiritual energy dissipates, the world’s life force will be exhausted. Let alone practicing Daoism, just being alive would be a struggle!”
“Later, the school of thought worked together and figured out that someone had captured a large number of dragon veins and destroyed the cycle of heaven and earth aura circulation.”
“But even though the cause of the matter has been figured out, no one can change the situation or salvage it, because capturing the dragon veins is an act against the sky. The person who did this kind of thing is not the legendary Daluo Jinxian or even the expert who was about to gain immortality. This other party, was not afraid of the consequences of ripping apart the cycle of aura circulation, who would be willing to stop him?”
“So, later everyone called this mysterious lunatic, the Dao Zu, they said that he reached the peak of alchemy in his time…”
“Then what does this have to do with you teaming up with us?”
Yu Ke blinked as he listened, admiring such a powerful warlock in his heart.
But what did it have to do with Yu Xianqing and their team? He didn’t want to have a better-looking person dangling in front of his Chu Huai-jun.
“Of course, it’s a big deal!”
Yu Xianqing stared at him, showing his most appetizing card.
“Although we don’t know what the Dao Zu did when he captured the dragon veins and against the heavens, a hundred sorcerers worked together to figure out the tomb where the Dao Zu suppressed the dragon veins. It was only because of fear of the guardian of the underground palace under Dao Zu that they did not dare to enter.”
“But now it’s different. Since the dragon veins have returned to their place, after more than two thousand years, Dao Zu’s formations have lost their original power, no matter how powerful, Dao Zu is not a god, there must be many treasures buried in the underground palace tombs. You are a cultivator, don’t you want to go and look for a treasure or something?”
“I know the location of the tomb, as long as you team up with me…”
Yu Xianqing thought that Dao Zu’s tomb was not attractive to ordinary people, but it was a treasure for those who practiced Taoism and Alchemy. He didn’t believe that these two strange people in front of him were not hooked.
In the end, the two strange people in front of him didn’t take the bait.
“Not interested, you are sending yourself to your death. Digging people’s graves will be condemned by God!”
As an ancient, Yu Ke hated disrespectful people such as tomb robbers.
Chu Huai also shook his head indifferently. He estimated that this should be the reason why Yu Xianqing was killed in his last life. He didn’t want to touch this kind of hot potato.
lol, I’m starting to feel sorry for Yu Xianqing!
Why do i feel that Dao zu is Chu Huai
