The two knew each other. After all, Zhao Xiongge had stayed in the Cottage Villa in flowery clothes. Zhao Xiongge knew that Yuan Gang was the confidant of Niu Youdao.
"That's your grandfather, not mine. He's in the Saint Realm …" At this point, Zhao Xiongge opened his eyes and seemed to have sobered up from his drunken state. He propped himself up from the stream and said in a clear tone, "You mean, he can contact the outside world in the Saint Realm?"
Yuan Gang, "I don't know how he got in touch with us."
Zhao Xiongge, "You don't know? Then can you be sure that he is contacting you and not someone impersonating him? "
Yuan Gang, "It can't be impersonated."
Seeing that he was so sure, Zhao Xiongge knew there must be a reason. He lay back lazily, "What made you come to me in person?"
"Our contact may not be secure. Some things are not suitable to be mentioned in letters." Yuan Gang was a little cautious. He carefully looked around while speaking.
Zhao Xiongge, "Don't worry, there is no one around. If there is an unusual smell within a few miles, my mount can smell it."
Yuan Gang looked up at the ferocious-looking golden growler standing on the big rock, and the golden growler also looked back at him.
Yuan Gang asked, "This is the golden growler?"
Zhao Xiongge, "Nonsense, my mount doesn't like to listen to nonsense."
"Ho …" Yuan Gang suddenly opened his arms and made a muffled roar at the golden growler on the rock.
"Roar …" The golden growler responded, but its momentum was weak. It did not have the momentum of roaring in the forest, and it seemed to be retreating.
First, it was Yuan Gang's behavior, and secondly, the golden growler's roar was not right. Zhao Xiongge, who had lifted the wine gourd, was stunned. He quickly got up and turned to look at the golden growler on the rock. He found that the fearless golden growler's tail was hanging down, and its body was shrinking. Its golden eyes were no longer fierce. It seemed to be afraid of Yuan Gang.
Seeing the golden growler like this for the first time, Zhao Xiongge was stunned and asked, "What did you do to it?"
Yuan Gang stood up straight and said indifferently, "I'm just testing its guts." The implication seemed to be, "Didn't you say that it didn't like to listen to my nonsense?"
Zhao Xiongge suddenly looked left and right, looked at the Golden Growler, then looked at Yuan Gang, and finally looked at Yuan Gang from head to toe. "I really didn't know that you knew how to tame beasts. Tell me, what's going on? My Golden Howler is an ancient beast, its blood is extraordinary, even the Wan Shou Sect can't do anything to it. "
Yuan Gang said, "I don't like nonsense. Daoye asked me to find you."
Zhao Xiongge narrowed his eyes and curled his lips. He lifted his wine gourd and took a gulp. "Speak, what's the matter?"
Yuan Gang said, "Daoye said that the Immeasurable Garden in the Sage Territory, where the Immeasurable Fruit grows, is guarded by Crow Generals refined by Wu Chang. Crow General is the secret refining method of the Devil Cult. Daoye hopes that you can inquire the Devil Cult and see if there is any way to break it. "
"Crow General? Immeasurable Garden? " Zhao Xiongge slowly put down the wine gourd in his hand. He didn't think that Niu Youdao would send someone to ask about this. His expression was unusually solemn. "What does he want?"
Yuan Gang said, "Daoye didn't say, I don't know."
Zhao Xiongge's eyes flashed. He seemed to be extremely cautious about this matter. Slowly, he said, "Crow Generals are demonic creatures. Since it was refined by Wu Chang, it must be under Wu Chang's control. To be controlled by Wu Chang, it means that the power of the evil spirit is limited and has not formed its own intelligence. Otherwise, with its demonic nature, it would be difficult for Wu Chang to control it. It can be seen that the Crow Generals refined by Wu Chang are not indestructible. Normal Golden Core adepts should be able to kill them. It's easy to break them, just kill them. "
Yuan Gang said, "I need to explain what Daoye meant. The Sage Territory's Immeasurable Garden is heavily guarded, and the Crow General guards the Immeasurable Fruit Tree. Daoye's so-called breaking them is not to kill them, but to control them and prevent any disturbances. "
Niu Youdao didn't say it so clearly, but he and Niu Youdao had worked together for many years. Once Niu Youdao said it, he knew what it meant.
Zhao Xiongge raised his eyebrows. "Don't tell me Niu Youdao wants to steal the Immeasurable Fruit?"
Yuan Gang said, "Daoye didn't say he wants to steal the Immeasurable Fruit. You ask me, I don't know."
"It's so boring to talk to you." Zhao Xiongge rolled his eyes and said disdainfully. But then he said seriously, "To control the Crow General, the person who refined it must know what the trigger is. So other than the person who refined it, no one else can control it. "
Yuan Gang said, "Daoye wants you to find out about the Devil Cult's secret technique." His words were concise. What you don't know doesn't mean the Devil Cult doesn't know.
Zhao Xiongge naturally understood what he meant, but he didn't go along with what he wanted. "There's no need to find out. I live in the Demon Ridge and have deep contact with the Devil Cult, so I asked about this. It's almost impossible to control the Crow General refined by someone else. At most, it can only increase it a little. "
Yuan Gang said, "Tell me the method."
Zhao Xiongge said, "To refine a Crow General, you first need to find a crow that lives in a place with dense Yin energy. For example, crows that live in cemeteries, and crows that have eaten human corpses. After that, you need to capture the spirit of the dead and guide it into the body of the crow. The spirit of the dead will borrow the body of the crow with dense Yin energy to live for a long time. After a long time, the two will merge into one. Then, you will use a secret technique to refine it. After absorbing enough Yin energy, it will become an evil demon that is neither human nor ghost nor beast. This is the Crow General. "
"The spirit in the Crow General's body is a human spirit after all. It's only under the influence of the evil technique that it believes that the crow it's residing in is its own body. If you can find the human skeleton of the spirit and find the skeleton of the original body for the Crow General to see, the spirit in the Crow General's body will have an illusion and fall into a short trance, causing it to be distracted for a while."
"If Niu Youdao wants to steal the Immeasurable Fruit without being discovered, this short period of time should be enough for him to use."
He guessed what Niu Youdao wanted to do because Yuan Gang's question was too obvious. However, he didn't show the slightest bit of surprise or reaction. The way he described it in detail made it seem like he had the intention to help.
Yuan Gang wasn't stupid. He could hear the meaning behind it. He stared at him for a while and asked, "Can the Crow General tell you who it was when it was alive?"
Zhao Xiongge shook his head. "Its intelligence is not developed. It can only caw like a crow and can't speak human language. It can't tell."
Yuan Gang said, "If that's the case, it's easier said than done to find the skeleton of the deceased."
Zhao Xiongge raised his hand and drank a mouthful of wine. "There's still a chance. The more Yin energy the Crow General absorbs, the stronger its attack power. This kind of evil technique is similar to the combination of a ghost cultivator and a body of flesh and blood. It's a true evil and crooked path. The slightest carelessness can lead to a disaster. When the Crow General absorbs a certain amount of Yin energy, it will develop its own intelligence. As an evil demon, its demonic nature is deep and unreasonable. It won't be willing to be controlled by external objects. "
"Therefore, even the Devil Cult won't use this technique easily. Otherwise, it's easy to suffer a backlash. This is a forbidden technique of the Devil Cult. Although Wu Chang knows how to refine it, he doesn't fully understand the strengths and weaknesses of this technique. He probably doesn't know that the skeleton of the deceased can affect the Crow General. "
"Since he doesn't know, he might not destroy the skeleton after detaining the spirit of the deceased. In other words, it's possible to find the burial place of the skeleton."
Yuan Gang listened seriously. He also knew that this matter was very important. When he encountered a doubt, he immediately asked, "Wu Chang used to control the Devil Cult. How do you know that Wu Chang doesn't fully understand the technique of refining the Crow General?"
Zhao Xiongge said, "I said, this is a forbidden technique. It has always been in the hands of the Saintess of the Devil Cult. It won't be easily leaked. Even the Cult Leader of the Devil Cult doesn't fully understand it. Naturally, Wu Chang won't be able to fully inherit it."
Hearing this, Yuan Gang's eyes flashed. He had also heard some rumors about this person and the Devil Cult Saintess.
"Based on what Wu Chang knows, he can only control a Crow General for ten years at most. Once the time is near, Wu Chang will definitely get rid of it and replace it with a newly refined Crow General. Otherwise, he won't be able to control it and will end up in chaos. On this point, you can ask Niu Youdao to confirm whether the Crow General guarding the Immeasurable Fruit Tree will be changed regularly. If so, it must be as I said. "
"As long as we find a way to verify the people who went missing during the relevant period, we might be able to find the skeleton of the person whose spirit was refined."
"There's another point that can help Niu Youdao confirm the identity of the deceased. When the Crow General transforms into a human, its silhouette looks similar to the deceased when they were alive."
"If these methods don't work, then it will depend on Niu Youdao's own ability. Let's see if he can find out from Wu Chang what the primer for controlling the Crow General is. If he knows this, he can directly control the Crow General. However, Wu Chang is not a good person. I advise him not to take this risk. "
After saying this, he poured wine into his mouth and looked like he was done.
Yuan Gang said, "That's it? Is there anything else? "
"No." Zhao Xiongge asked, "Do you have anything else?"
Yuan Gang shook his head.
"Then we'll go our separate ways." Zhao Xiongge jumped up and landed on the back of Golden Growler, who was on a rock. He swung his wine gourd and smashed Golden Growler's head, making a crisp sound. He scolded, "Useless thing!"
Golden Growler seemed to be quite intelligent. He weakly looked back at Yuan Gang, and then with a whoosh, he leaped into the depths of the forest.
…
Demon Fox Si. Niu Youdao was alone in his study, reading a letter in his hand.
He had received Yuan Gang's letter. It detailed the reply to his instructions and told him everything that Zhao Xiongge had said.
The contents of the letter gave Niu Youdao a headache. To be precise, it was because of the Crow General in the Immeasurable Garden.
It was easy to enter the Immeasurable Garden, but the non-human thing guarding the fruit tree was difficult. The people guarding the garden could think of a way, but the Crow General was difficult. Because there was no way to communicate with it, he didn't know how to stop the evil spirit from making a ruckus.
With the strength of the guards of the Immeasurable Garden, it was not possible to snatch it. The only way was to steal it.
According to his plan, to steal it, he had to do it quietly. He had to do it without anyone knowing, and he couldn't let anyone know that the Immeasurable Fruit had been stolen. Otherwise, he would be hunted down even if he got the Immeasurable Fruit.
He had planned this for a long time, but was finally stumped by the Crow General that Wu Chang had set up. He had no choice but to ask Yuan Gang to ask Zhao Xiongge for advice.
Zhao Xiongge did provide some methods, but this method was too troublesome.
