Chapter 19 There is a purpose
Lu Tao looked out the window, the sun had begun to set in the west, probably wait a while, Tang Xin would come and knock on the door, at this time, what is the matter with the Red Lotus senior?
"I've reached the first level of Qi refining, Senior Red Lotus, do you have anything you want me to help with?"
"It's a trivial matter, my master sent a thing, you help me get it, not far away, I'll send you the address, you go here to find the shopkeeper surnamed Wu, just say that I let you go." I can only go back tomorrow, this thing is very important, Tianqingzi Daoyou, you help me put it away first. ”
It turned out to be taking things, which is equivalent to helping others pick up express delivery, right? I don't know if the Xiuzhen world has developed the express delivery industry, Lu Tao thinks about it and thinks it is a very promising career.
Just take something, of course Lu Tao had to agree, he opened his mouth and said, "Okay, senior Red Lotus, I'll go get it." ”
Hung up the phone, and it didn't take long for Lu Tao to receive a picture, the picture was a map of the neighborhood, Lu Tao saw his destination at a glance, and sure enough, it was not far, probably near the tea shop of the contact point of the Desperate Island that he had been to last time. Based on last experience, it only takes fifteen minutes to walk, and up to half an hour round trip.
restored an "OK" to the Red Lotus Monk, and Lu Tao poured some cat food for Hei in advance.
"I went out and came back soon. ”
"Do you need me with you, lest anyone beat you again? ”
Lu Tao thought for a moment and replied, "No, it's nearby, I'll be back soon." ”
Out of the door, Lu Tao walked west along the road he had walked once in his memory, there were many very familiar buildings on the road, after all, Lu Tao really remembered that experience, and he once looked at these buildings and tried his best to think about ways to get out of trouble.
This time, there is a feeling that things are wrong, Lu Tao controls the release of spiritual power in his body, as soon as the spiritual power touches the air, it quickly dissipates, he is no longer the same as before, he is no longer an ordinary person, these spiritual powers, after all, will become power.
It's just a lack of spirit stones, otherwise you can always learn a few small spells such as light body techniques or soul dementorship, so that you can defend yourself.
It is best to learn the ice armor technique, and the defensive technique is definitely what Lu Tao needs the most now.
It didn't take long for Lu Tao to arrive at the destination of his trip, Wu's tailor's shop.
...... Lu Tao found that the shops related to the monks are all very, very old industries, and there may still be people to buy tea shops, but in places like tailor shops, are there really people coming?
Pushing the door in, sure enough, there was no one in sight.
Lu Tao walked directly to the counter and asked, "Are you the shopkeeper Wu?"
Behind the antique counter, there is a middle-aged man wearing a small round hat, Lu Tao feels as if he has met the Republic of China period and met the people of the Republic of China period, not only that, but the whole tailor shop gives people an old feeling, even the windows are pasted with paper, and the shop is very dark.
The middle-aged man wearing a small round hat didn't even raise his head, and said, "Yes, who are you looking for?"
"It was the Red Lotus monk who asked me to pick up something. ”
Lu Tao followed the answer he had agreed with the Red Lotus senior, only to see the middle-aged man nodding and saying, "That's right." ”
Then, when he raised his head, Lu Tao saw a pair of golden eyes, and he couldn't take his eyes off anymore, and then, Lu Tao felt empty in his heart, and his consciousness disappeared.
......
I don't know how long it took, Lu Tao felt rain falling on his face, stretched out his hand to wipe it, his face was wet with water, and then, Lu Tao woke up.
When I opened my eyes, it was dark all around, and it seemed to be a cave, and from the far end there was a bright light, which gilded the black rocks of the cave walls with a faint reflection.
Lu Tao moved his body, observing his surroundings as he moved away from a stalagmite that was still dripping.
"Are you awake?"
Looking at the voice in the past, it was the shopkeeper of the tailor shop surnamed Wu in the afternoon, of course, maybe it was not surnamed Wu, who knows?
"Who the hell are you, and what do you want to do to me?"
The shopkeeper surnamed Wu - for the time being, Lu Tao can only call him that, the shopkeeper surnamed Wu is sitting on the stone platform a little farther away, he closes his eyes, but he seems to be able to see Lu Tao's every move. Lu Tao thought about moving a little more distance in the opposite direction, and then quietly leaned into his arms, where there were still a few mantras that were one word short, and if used properly, the power would not be small.
"Don't look for it, I have already taken away the paper and your mobile phone, of course, if you cooperate well, we can't give you a way out. In addition, it is useless to activate the jade key, which is far from Anmen. ”
Lu Tao let go of the hand holding the jade spoon, he had just tried to inject spiritual power into the jade spoon, but there was nothing abnormal, but if it was really like what this person said, it was estimated that it would be useless to activate the jade spoon.
Except for some weakness in his body, Lu Tao was not restrained, and he didn't know if the other party was disdainful of doing this or how, Lu Tao stood up, and the other party did not react. It's a pity that the position of the exit was blocked by the other party, and it was pitch black on the other side, and Lu Tao didn't plan to venture into the pitch-black cave before everything was clear.
Also, just now he said "we", that is, there is another person, Lu Tao's mind flashed the face of the Red Lotus monk, if there is one more person, it can only be the Red Lotus senior...... No, the Red Lotus Layman, right?
"Is it the Red Lotus Monk, what is your purpose?"
It's a pity that the other party didn't pay attention to Lu Tao anymore, Lu Tao asked again, and the sound echoed in the empty cave, and other than that, only the sound of water droplets dropping was left.
So, why is this? Lu Tao pondered, thinking about what he had in him that was worthy of the coveting of the Red Lotus monk.
If the guess is correct, the only thing related to the Red Lotus Monk on his body is the Nameless Mind Method, but Lu Tao doesn't know what the Nameless Heart Method is wrong with.
Lu Tao has too little knowledge about the matter of cultivating the truth, the heart spell method and the exercises, even if he wants to deduce anything from it, he can't start it, and Suzaku also said that the situation that the heart method cannot be copied on ordinary paper was very common in the past.
Just thinking about it, someone came in, he walked closer, holding a crystal ball-like thing in his hand, which was emitting a dazzling white light, Lu Tao squinted his eyes, and it took a while to get used to it.
"Red Lotus Layman...... Sure enough, it's you. ”
"Hehe, I'm sorry Tianqingzi Daoyou, I used this method to trick you over, and I need to borrow something from you next, don't worry, soon. ”
Lu Tao wanted to ask, Red Lotus Monk, what do you want to borrow my life? But in the end, he held back, and he asked, "Why me?"
The Red Lotus monk smiled and replied, "Because that nameless mind method is related to you, okay, let's hurry up and finish what needs to be done, let's go, don't talk nonsense." ”
Lu Tao had no other way, he could only stand up, at this time, the shopkeeper surnamed Wu, who had been closing his eyes, also stood up, the red lotus monk was in front, Lu Tao was in the middle, and the shopkeeper surnamed Wu was behind, and the three of them walked towards the cave.
The "crystal ball" in the hand of the Red Lotus monk was very bright, and Lu Tao followed behind, silently observing the surrounding environment.
This is a road, there are no traces of axes and chisels on the wall of the road, it looks like it is naturally formed, and the same is true under the feet, some of the feet are awkward, but it is quite smooth.
The road is getting narrower and narrower, and it gradually becomes the appearance of only allowing one person to pass through, Lu Tao looked at the back of the Red Lotus monk, and suppressed the urge to make a move, it is very unwise to do anything now, whether it is the shopkeeper surnamed Wu who is eyeing him behind, Lu Tao does not believe that he can subdue a mid-level monk of Qi refining.
Even, Lu Tao began to wonder if the realm of the Red Lotus Monk was at the middle level of Qi refining.
Continuing forward, after passing through the narrowest part, the road began to widen again, and there were many traces of axes and chisels around it, in addition, Lu Tao was a little disappointed, this road did not fork in the road.
Soon, when the road came to an end, the Red Lotus monk stopped and illuminated the end of the passage with the crystal ball in his hand.
It is a large gate, there is a relief on the gate, occupying the most central circular area, above the relief, the most central is a protruding ball, carved with complex patterns, around the ball, there are nine kinds of hideous beasts competing for the ball, their images are different, except for the image of the dragon, Lu Tao has never seen one.
Lu Tao lowered his head, and in the corner of the gate, the dark red blood stain made his heart very uneasy.
