Chapter 335: Tracking
"So, that place was destroyed by lightning?" Seeing that Peony seemed to be about to tell a relatively long story, Lu Tao couldn't help but interject and interrupted her.
"......" Peony was silent for a while before answering: "That's right, that's it, a large area of the palace has been split, and no one knows how many palace maids and eunuchs have died among them, and this matter has been covered up, after all, ...... The building that was struck by lightning was in the palace, and although it was not the most important hall, it still did not bode well. Later, my father built another palace near the ruins that had been struck by lightning, which is now this one, which is basically exactly the same as the original palace, but in a different location. ”
"In other words, do you know where the original palace is?" Lu Tao glanced out the window again, and found that there was no extra movement before continuing to ask Peony: "You will take me there, right?"
"Of course, that's what I said before...... Wait! Someone's coming out!"
Lu Tao put his head in front of the window that had been poked open, and looked out carefully, and sure enough, from the courtyard where the scattered fire light was exposed, two people came out, one was a eunuch carrying a lantern, and the other person was not able to see clearly, and almost his whole body was shrouded in black shadows.
The eunuch with the lantern bent down in front to light the way, and the people in the back, needless to say, should have a very high status in this palace, Lu Tao was a little puzzled, he didn't have this dress when he saw the second prince here last time? Why do you have to wrap yourself so tightly now?
If you don't understand, you have to ask, so Lu Tao asked in a lower voice, "Who is that?"
"It's not quite like it, it's not like the walking posture, let's go ahead and see, don't be in a hurry. Peony whispered, and by the way, continued to stare at the two people who hurriedly walked outside.
"That's not right!" Peony suddenly spoke, startling Lu Tao.
"What's wrong?" Fortunately, Peony's voice was not loud, Lu Tao looked out the window and found that no one noticed him, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "What's wrong with these two people?"
"Well, I can probably guess who this person is, let's follow first!"
Lu Tao glanced at the two people who were walking from his field of vision to his field of vision, and the small courtyard that was still shining outside, a little uncertain.
However, just keep up with the peony.
I don't know what Peony, a person who has been a princess since childhood, has experienced, Lu Tao suddenly discovered that when it comes to stalking people, Peony is much more powerful than him, a self-proclaimed monk-of course, provided that Lu Tao can't use stealth techniques.
At this moment, the spiritual power in Lu Tao's body is still stagnant, not to mention stealth, Lu Tao feels that his strength is going to become a little smaller, and he doesn't know when he will recover.
If he turns back into an ordinary person, Lu Tao is not particularly worried, what he is worried about is that if he does not have the spiritual power that can be used, he doesn't know if he can return to his original world from this world.
As for what Fang Tianli said, the crown that can make the two of them return to the land of Shenzhou, although Lu Tao believes it, he only believes half of it, he is only willing to believe half of the origin of the other party's Tianhua, of course, what he said cannot be fully trusted, all hope should be put on himself to be safe, Lu Tao can even see a clear proof from those shallow histories: anyone who puts their lives in the hands of others will not end up much better.
Therefore, Lu Tao is now closely following behind Peony, since the stealth technique can't be used, he can only find the crown first.
Therefore, all what Lu Tao said before was, no matter what hope there was, it was also hope, it was better to grasp it in his own hands first, Fang Tianhua was indeed not credible, Lu Tao didn't believe him at the beginning, but the crown should not be a lie, even if there is no crown, there will be other things that can break the game, what Lu Tao wants is that kind of thing, and then use it as a bargaining chip to exchange for real truth from Fang Tianhua's mouth.
The death qi emanating from Fang Tianhua's body was not fake, that guy was indeed dying, and he really didn't have the spiritual power on his body to be able to fight back, thinking of this, Lu Tao suddenly had a strange idea.
The way he is now, his spiritual power comes and goes, is it just Fang Tianhua's hands and feet?
The spiritual power did not obey the call, or Lu Tao changed from a monk to an ordinary person, Lu Tao knew that it was from accidentally touching the whirlpool underwater.
The old Taoist statement that suddenly appeared in "Maoshan Mountain", Lu Tao also remembered it clearly:
For the first time, he said something like this: "...... I don't know what year and day, there is a supreme master who divided Maoshan into seventy-seven forty-nine parts, relying on them, creating forty-nine small worlds, however, although this plan was successful, it attracted the curse sealed under Maoshan, no one knows, the original reason for Maoshan is pure, is to seal the curse that is enough to destroy all the worlds below, Maoshan magic is extremely evil, but it is not their own choice, but in the wound of the curse, the result of being slowly assimilated over time, in order to fight against this assimilation, Maoshan Patriarch created the exorcism method, but it still failed in the end, so that the entire Maoshan fell apart, of courseIt's not anyone's fault, maybe no one is at fault...... The Supreme Master can create so many small worlds at once, but there is no way to resist the curse, he can only use some secret technique, these curses and himself, and seal them again in those Maoshan fragments that are the foundation of the small world, according to his plan, if these small worlds all die, then, the curse will also be erased by the huge power when the small world dies, and at that time, he can resurrect his physical body from these fragments......"
The second time, Lao Tao said again: "...... It's full of curses everywhere, and you're contaminated with these curses, and you're also contaminated with the cause and effect of that master, and I don't know what will happen, because I haven't been out since I came here......"
In this case, no matter whether it is true or not, Lu Tao can only believe it, so it makes sense why the spiritual power in Lu Tao's body has become what it is now.
He fell under the curse in "Maoshan", and the effect of the curse was to make his spiritual power intermittent.
Of course, Lu Tao still had a question, the curse that he had worked so hard to create was actually such a chicken rib effect? Or was it that in fact, for the monks, nothing was more important than their spiritual power and their sense of superior detachment, so that the failure of their spiritual power to operate would kill them?
This time, the spiritual power could not be driven for an extraordinarily long time, and Lu Tao could only wait passively, there was no way to do anything, there was no one in this world who understood cultivation except Fang Tianhua, and if Lu Tao didn't want him to know that there was something wrong with his spiritual power in this world, I am afraid it would be Fang Tianhua, lest he get the crown when he got it, and he would not have the ability to use it as a bargaining chip.
In fact, what is even worse is that the current Lu Tao, in such a world with abundant spiritual energy, has an empty monk's body but has no way to convert these spiritual energy into spiritual power in his body, even if he puts on the cultivation posture above the Nameless Mind Method, he can't absorb these spiritual energy that overflows in the air, and in the end he can only give up in vain.
"Wait, they're not moving!"
Just when Lu Tao couldn't stop thinking about how to stop, the sound of Peony came from the front, Lu Tao didn't stop the car for a while, and directly hit Peony.
Soft and soft, Lu Tao hurriedly took a step back to open the distance.
Peony turned his head and glared at Lu Tao: "Do you really want to be a eunuch?!"
Lu Tao hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't mean to, I just got distracted." ”
"Hmph! I don't have time to care if what you say is true or not! You follow me, don't say anything, but if something happens, you can run away with me!
Lu Tao: "......"
Without waiting for Lu Tao to say anything, Peony walked straight out, and the target was the two people who had been followed by her for a long time, the eunuch holding the lantern in front and the two people who completely covered themselves in black robes in the back, just stopped in front of a palace, as if they were waiting for someone.
Standing at the entrance of the palace, the guards did not squint, as if they did not see the two people at the door at all, Lu Tao always felt that this scene looked quite strange.
Lu Tao didn't hide the sound of her footsteps, so when she walked over, both the two people waiting at the gate of the palace and the guards standing at the gate of the palace all looked over, and the two guards also clenched the long swords on their sides.
Peony uncovered the black cloth that covered half of his face, took out a fire fold from his arms, blew twice, and turned the sparks above into flickering flames, letting the flames illuminate his face, and the two somewhat nervous guards relaxed their vigilance, and the hands on the hilt of the knives also relaxed, and continued to turn their gaze forward like a wooden carving, completely ignoring the people and things below.
However, the two people below who were followed by Peony all the way were a little flustered, and the man in black, who was tightly wrapped in a black robe, turned around and prepared to leave.
Peony pulled out another long needle from her bosom and said indifferently: "Hmph! You take a step further and try to see if your steps are faster or my Soul Snatcher Needle is faster!"
When the man in black heard Peony's threat, he really stopped his steps, he turned around, but he had no intention of brightening his face, and said in a sullen voice: "Your Royal Highness, why are you embarrassing me?"
