Chapter 76 Cave
Chapter 76: Cave (Two chapters in one)
He suddenly remembered that he came to Ranshan to find the Ranshan illusion!
"Demon, how dare you ruin my good deeds?!" Xu Xianren shouted angrily, and the wood carving in his hand flew towards Li Wuxiang with a hum. But at this time he was about to disappear in the darkness. Suddenly, a knife flashed, and the wooden board broke into two pieces and smashed on the cliff.
Immortal Xu immediately reached into his sleeve and pulled out a yellowed ivory board. The board was one foot long and four inches wide, with five ancient and clumsy figures painted on it, twisting and winding, with strange traces. He placed his sword finger on a bell-like figure on the upper right, stepped on it, and chanted a curse: "You have Mount Dong, and people and gods are at peace. Enter the mountains and walk on the rivers, and hundreds of white mushrooms will gather!"
At this time, Li Wuxiang had already rushed to the gate of Ran Mountain, and he was only two steps away from crossing. But suddenly, he felt something pressing down on his head, pressing the land under his feet so hard that it seemed to turn upside down, and the surrounding mountain walls became extremely far away in an instant. When he took another step -
What came towards us was a mountain wall!
He suddenly stopped and looked around - all around him were ruins of buildings, with fire flashing in the ruins, and more than a dozen figures jumping and fighting, and the mountain wall in front of him stood straight up, like a huge high wall. Li Wuxiang immediately took a breath and jumped up ten feet high, stretched out his arm, and his fingertips shot out white beard and grabbed the rock protrusion on the mountain wall, and pulled him up more than ten feet high. He hung on the rock wall and turned around to look back -
This is actually the back of the Taiyi Palace that we saw before!
No wonder Xu Xian is so arrogant, his ability is really outrageous!
Li Wuxiang immediately raised his hands and climbed up again - this mountain wall looked about ten feet high, but he was so light that climbing such a place was not difficult at all. It only took him a dozen breaths to reach the top of the mountain wall. He could see a few pine and cypress trees sticking out in the night, but just as he was about to jump up, he felt a trance around him - he jumped back to the ground!
Trapped. Li Wuxiang sighed. Why do all the practitioners in this world like to trap people?
However, Xu Xianren was good at trapping people, and he was also good at hiding people. Li Wuxiang immediately looked up at the mountain wall and found that there were actually some large and small gaps on the mountain wall. The largest one could accommodate an ordinary person, and the smallest one could only fit a fat cat - he could hide in it and wait slowly to see what the paper was. No matter how powerful Xu Xianren was, he would not stay here for his whole life!
He was just about to take a deep breath when he heard a clanging sound by his ear - two martial artists who were fighting each other fell from behind the broken wall in front of them, raising a huge cloud of dust. One of them slipped out of his hand and his long sword was stuck in the crevice of the stone next to his ear, making a buzzing sound.
The one who was closer to him had the upper hand, so he jumped up and raised his knife to chop the man's head. But before he could drop his knife, Li Wuxiang touched the knife handle at his waist, and the man's head immediately fell down. The headless body shook slightly, and the blood spurted out of the cavity and splashed all over the man on the ground.
The knife in his hand flashed again, slashing at the man on the ground. The man was stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted: "Young man! Young man!"
The sword suddenly stopped, and the swordsman Lao Guo half-knelt on the ground, clamping Li Wuxiang's sword in front of his nose with both hands: "Young man, young man, it's me, Lao Guo! Young man, spare my life!"
Li Wuxiang narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and was about to put the knife back when he heard Feng Ji's loud shout from a distance: "Damn it, stop it! I will kill anyone who starts it again - find someone for me! A young man in black clothes with gray hair! Whoever finds this person will be rewarded with a Huangya Pill! It's more profitable than you guys fighting over it! Do you hear me?!"
Li Wuxiang immediately looked at Lao Guo - Lao Guo's eyes widened, his hands tightly holding his knife, his lips began to tremble: "Young Master Shao Shao... I haven't seen you, I, I..."
Li Wuxiang glanced at the ground - a small incense burner with one leg missing was lying there, covered in dust and blood.
He sighed: "No, you two are killing each other just for this?"
"Ah... this... maybe it's because it has been worshipped for a long time..."
"So pitiful." Li Wuxiang smiled and quickly sheathed the knife: "Why, do you think I like killing people? Considering that we have known each other for a while, let's go!"
Lao Guo opened his mouth wide: "Ah!?"
Li Wuxiang leaped up and ran to the other side of the mountain wall. After a few breaths, he turned back. Lao Guo had already left, and the sword embedded in the mountain wall had been pulled out.
He immediately found a crack in the rock that was about two arms wide and one arm long, and stretched his arm in, and stretched out his tentacles to explore - it was too narrow inside. He tried a few more nearby, and finally found one that was spacious enough, so he threw his waist knife and package in first, and then took a deep breath, and turned himself into a light skin, with his white beard sticking out as feet, and crawled in like a centipede.
The inside of the cave was slightly larger than the outside, but it was long and winding, so an adult could only bend and squat. Li Wuxiang first explored the back of the cave - the back of the cave became narrower and narrower, and finally converged into a thin crack in the stone. He listened carefully, but could not hear any sound of airflow, so there should be no other exit.
But it didn't matter, as long as there was space to hide his broken bricks. Li Wuxiang retreated to the back of the crevice, pulled out his dagger and slowly pried a stone, making a small space, then filled the broken bricks in, and covered it loosely with a pile of rubble. Then he took out the prisoner character, took out the cloth ball from the broken bricks, hesitated for a moment, and tried to hold it.
He didn't move. He was still in the crevice.
He slowly sat down and took out the piece of paper.
This thing must be the cause of the problem. His mind was not as confused as before, so he saw more strange things - it was hidden after the woodblock print for more than a thousand years, but it did not change color or become brittle, which showed that it was not an ordinary item. Moreover, it was also a piece of bamboo paper!
He took out the prisoner symbol again, opened his hand, and stared at it for a while.
According to the meaning of the figure drawn on this talisman, it means to make a little man appear in a secret place. But if it is because I just used this talisman paper to put away the Ranshan Sect, then the use of this talisman should be more than this.
At least, Zhao Qi didn't seem to understand what the talisman paper was used for. Is there a possibility that the talisman paper was actually much more useful than Zhao Qi thought? Zhao Qi was like a person who accidentally picked up an electric baton. He thought it was heavy and could be used as a weapon to hit people, so he thought it was just an iron baton. But in fact, it had other uses?
Zhao Qi was not clear, but Zhao Kui should be clear.
Li Wuxiang then took out the portrait of Kitchen God again.
As soon as this thought came to his mind and he took a quick look, he felt a little hungry again.
A very weak wind seemed to be blowing in the narrow crack of the cave, swirling around him. Li Wuxiang looked around - he could find a few dry grass stems. In fact, he also had incense and candles in his backpack, which he prepared in case he had to summon Zhao Kui.
Is this a last resort now?
He slowly picked up three grass stems on the ground and held them between his fingertips. The breeze around him seemed to become a little stronger, and his appetite also became stronger.
The cave was very quiet, but he seemed to have some tiny voices ringing in his ears, urgent and greedy, like a smaller version of the external evil, telling him to quickly burn the grass stem.
Li Wuxiang held the painting of the Kitchen God in front of him with his left hand and took a deep breath.
Then he crumpled it into a ball and put it away again.
The breeze around me swirled violently, seemingly very angry, but in the end it had no choice but to dissipate.
Li Wuxiang raised his hand and slapped himself hard on the face.
No. He took a deep breath and repeated it in his mind.
He knew that "seeking help" would make things easier in the short term, but in the long run, it would easily make people form a habit of dependence and get stuck in it, until one day they suddenly felt helpless and lost. In the past, many people in the industry retired in this way. And now he already had this tendency - he had to seek help from the outside world when he was in the stove and when he was tested by Zhao Qi, and now he actually wanted to offer incense to Zhao Kui and get what he wanted from him.
If this continued, wouldn't Zhao Kui slowly become his own worshiper? He didn't know much about this, but his intuition told him that this would be bad.
What's more, that guy will definitely propose conditions that I don't want to accept at all.
A subtle feeling of joy passed through his body like a breeze blowing over water, and Li Wuxiang was stunned - fuck. External evil.
"I'm not going to ask you for help either," he whispered.
The joy slowly faded away, and Li Wuxiang sighed. This thing might be a trouble in the future. I can come and go as I please. I am also an upright human being.
He leaned against the stone wall and arranged the prison character, broken bricks, and pieces of bamboo paper in front of him.
He previously thought that the illusion of Ranshan should be in that woodblock print, but the reason why he chose this piece of shredded bamboo paper later was because after he stepped out of the gate of Ranshan, in addition to thinking of the "Ranshan School", he also thought of a name.
Yu Liejun.
Yu Liejun, Li Jiaotu.
At that moment, a memory as independent and vague as his past jumped out of his head, and he knew "Yu Lie Jun". This was a title in the Ye Dynasty. The recipient was named "Li Jiaotu", who was in charge of the money and grain of the country at that time. Later, he became the Siming Zhenjun and the Kitchen God.
Zhao Kui once said that the ancestor of Ranshan was the Kitchen God, so Yu Liejun Li Jiaotu should be the ancestor of Ranshan.
This was the second time this happened. The first time was when he saw the "Fuyuan Baosheng Pill" in the stove. He knew what it was as soon as he saw it, but he still couldn't figure out the pattern of this memory... He could only talk about it later.
There is no reason for such an ancestor to use a piece of torn bamboo paper to sign his name, so this thing must be unusual.
As for the woodblock print, it was probably just used to hide the scraps of bamboo paper. Because when he carefully inspected the Ranshan Sect before, he found that the buildings in Ranshan were unusually solid, as if they were under a curse. After he accidentally hid the Ranshan Sect with the prison character, the Ranshan Sect's buildings seemed to have lost their souls and bodies, and they decayed and collapsed all of a sudden.
Before, Xu Xianren threw the woodblock print to stop him, but the thing was chopped in half with a knife. Apparently, like the sect's buildings, it had become an ordinary object.
There was no light in the cave, so Li Wuxiang extended his tentacles and carefully felt around for three things.
Perhaps the Ranshan School is hidden in this piece of scrap paper, and this is the real illusion. The words "Made by Li Jiao in the 63rd year of the Qianzheng reign of the Daye Dynasty" written on it actually refer to this piece of scrap paper.
If yes, how to get in?
……
A group of wanderers, there were about thirty of them when they came, but now there are only about twenty left, and many of them are injured.
Xu Xianren frowned, his face full of anger: "What a bunch of dogs who can't change their nature. For such a small profit, they can't even endure it for a moment!"
Feng Ji sighed, "Alas, Xu Xianren, you can't blame them. They say it's just a small profit, but in the martial arts world, if you can't get this small profit today, you might be gone tomorrow. I said before that we should give them the Huai Lu Bao Xia chapter first, and we can talk about the Dao Jue later. Now that they have obtained the mental methods of the thirty-six sects, everyone will feel at ease and won't be like this now."
Xu Xianren turned his gaze towards him: "Oh, did I do something wrong?"
Feng Ji smiled and said, "No, no, you are right. The main reason is that these people are just bad people who can't change their bad habits..."
"That's enough!" Xu Xianren waved his hand, "I'll take care of the rest myself, you useless thing!"
He strode to the front of the crowd, glanced at these idiots who were still whispering with disgust, and shouted: "I am Xu Xianren!"
The crowd suddenly fell silent and looked at each other.
"Listen carefully, you want a treasure, right? I'm going to tell you the chapter of Huai Lu Bao Xia now, and pay attention!" He didn't care whether these idiots could remember it or not, and he recited all the hundreds of words in one breath, "You know this thing is useless, you also need a Dao Jue, you understand this, right? The Dao Jue is in the illusion of Ranshan. To enter the illusion of Ranshan, you need a treasure, but someone just took the treasure first and hid it!"
"Now, all of you go search for me - have you seen this Ranshan Sect? Why did you all forget about the Ranshan Sect just now? That's because the illusion has been opened! But now I have used my magical powers to put a ban on the flat land where Ranshan is. It's such a small place, he can't get out!"
When he said this, he saw the crowd getting agitated again and starting to look at each other. He felt disgusted and shouted again: "Whoever finds that person will tell everyone the Dao Jue! If no one finds it, no one can get it! Whoever finds it first will get a Huangya Pill in addition to the Dao Jue! Huangya Pill, do you understand? No matter what kind of shitty martial arts you practiced before, taking Huangya Pill will allow you to disperse your power and rebuild your foundation, so that you can practice Ranshan's Huailu Baoxia chapter well! Do you understand?!"
The crowd responded quickly, and then someone in the crowd asked: "...That person was able to snatch things from you, Xu Xianren, I'm afraid we are no match for him."
Xu Xianren frowned and glared at the direction of the voice: "I was just careless for a moment! If he dares to fight me, there is no need to run away! How smart can a person who comes to a place like this to search for treasure be?"
After the crowd dispersed, he turned to Feng Ji and said, "You guys follow me, let's check the back first, and then ask if anyone saw anything in the back just now!"
