Chapter 165: The Holy Maiden

The rabbit is a hare, the meat quality is not good, and the roasting time is too long, and the dry and slightly hard meat is definitely not very tasty.

But Li Xiuzhu still carefully ate the rabbit meat in his hand little by little, even if he had the Bigu Dan issued by the sect in his pocket. Lu Tao can only guess, maybe Li Xiuzhu wants to really eat a meal in his own home?

After doing this, Li Xiuzhu waved his hand and swept away the mess in the room, including the bones left behind and the ashes on the ground.

Then, Li Xiuzhu left the building, and he walked in the direction of his room familiarly.

When he arrived at the place, Li Xiuzhu pushed open the door, and most of the things in the room, whether it was the first or second floor, had disappeared, but the bed on the second floor was still safely placed in place, although the bedding on it had already been swallowed up by time, and there was nothing left.

Li Xiuzhu brushed the dust on the bed board, and then lay down.

I don't know how long the bed board has been tested here makes a "creaking" sound, and it seems that it will break from it in the next moment, but in fact, the wooden board is only slightly bent, and the burrs on it make Lu Tao very uncomfortable.

Li Xiuzhu didn't care at all whether it was uncomfortable to lie on the wooden board, he let out a long sigh of relief and closed his eyes directly.

......

This sleep, and it is night.

Outside the window, in addition to the sound of insects chirping, there was only the howl of wolves that I don't know how far away, one after another, which seemed to be very close and yet far away.

There was not a single light except for the stars in the sky, and in the distance, only the shadows of the walls and the undestroyed buildings rose in the air.

Suddenly, a wave of spiritual power came from outside the window, and the location was in the north, quite close to Peach Blossom Town.

Li Xiuzhu glanced at the direction of the aura fluctuations, picked up the sword and went out.

When I went around the courtyard next door, there was a faint fire coming out there, and it seemed that the group named Zhang Fei lived here.

Out of Peach Blossom Town, Li Xiuzhu walked all the way north, and at the same time, the aura fluctuations became more and more obvious, even if Lu Tao had no experience and couldn't tell the cause of the aura fluctuations, he still understood that something unusual must have happened.

Li Xiuzhu grabbed the long sword in his hand, stepped on the dark road under his feet, and climbed over a mountain, where the aura fluctuated was in front of him.

Lu Tao: "???"

Isn't this the location where Jin Lingzi's predecessors discovered the formation before?

Even the angle of the mountain peak that blocked the sky was exactly the same as in Lu Tao's memory, on the other hand, it was empty, and it was certain that the previous aura fluctuations were definitely not caused by the monk's activities here.

Li Xiuzhu also thought so, but since he came here, the previous fluctuations had completely disappeared, leaving only the residual afterglow of the aura fluctuations echoing in the air.

Putting away the long sword, Li Xiuzhu looked at the ground, and Lu Tao also passively looked at the place where Li Xiuzhu's eyes were, but found nothing.

What's there?

Squatting down, Li Xiuzhu stretched out his hand and pressed it on the ground for a while, and then began to dig the ground with his bare hands, digging and digging, and touched a hard thing.

Picking up the dirt around the hard object, Li Xiuzhu directly took it out whole.

With a bang, the hollow metal object fell to the ground and made a sound. Through the moonlight and stars, Lu Tao could see the light and patterns reflected on the surface of the metal object. Li Xiuzhu wiped off all the dirt on it, so that Lu Tao could see clearly.

This is a tripod.

The three-legged tripod fell quietly in place, not very big, the mouth of the tripod was almost a little larger than the palm of an adult, and the patterns on it, because it was night, could not be seen clearly, and it could only be seen that the patterns seemed to be some ancient words, because they were all scattered symbols, densely packed.

This Fang Ding should be the culprit of the aura fluctuations, Li Xiuzhu put the Ding away, returned the same way, and returned to the room where he slept before.

Whether it was an oil lamp or a candle, it was gone, Li Xiuzhu dismantled some old wood from another room, piled them together, and a small fireball came out of his fingertips, lighting a bonfire.

It was only when the flames of the bonfire stabilized that Lu Tao finally saw the patterns on the tripod clearly, which were actually the same as those symbols that did not know the meaning of the formations found before.

Could it be ...... In fact, everything is related to this Fang Ding? Lu Tao mentioned the spirit of the twelve, will Li Xiuzhu use this Fang Ding next? The Ding looks very extraordinary, if Lu Tao can learn how to use this Fang Ding, maybe he will be able to get out of the strange place before.

Li Xiuzhu was about to put his hand on the tripod body, but Lu Tao's eyes were dark, and he couldn't see anything.

Lu Tao: "......"

This familiar feeling...... Lu Tao had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, when I opened my eyes again, Ding was gone, and Peach Blossom Town was gone, and in front of me was a statue, the statue was a girl looking up at the sky, lifelike, and unbelievably beautiful.

Well...... No matter how beautiful this sculpture is, Lu Tao is not in the mood, and the important plot has been skipped again, which is simply a cheat!

Li Xiuzhu stretched out his hand and lightly touched the forehead of the statue, Lu Tao could feel that a spiritual power was transmitted from Li Xiuzhu's body, and then, the statue began to move "click", revealing a small hole below.

Well, where is this again?

No one answered Lu Tao's question, Li Xiuzhu walked step by step along the stairs that extended from the entrance of the cave, and at the same time, several balls of light emerged from him and spread out, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Descending the stairs to the end, it is a small space, but the air does not feel dirty, and under the illumination of the ball of light, the ground is full of complicated lines, and other than that, there is nothing in it.

Li Xiuzhu walked to the center of these patterns, took out the tripod from his arms, which was only a little bigger than the palm of his hand, and put it down.

As he moved, the intricate lines on the ground lit up one after another, looking like a web woven by a spider, and then, even the symbols on the middle tripod lit up.

"Very good! This is also done, let's go to the next place!" Some old voices came out of Ding's body, Lu Tao was a little surprised, whose voice is this?

Li Xiuzhu took the tripod on the ground back into his arms without saying a word, and Lu Tao's eyes were dark again, and he couldn't see anything.

Lu Tao: "......"

me, huh?!

After a while, Lu Tao's eyes lit up again, this time it was not a sculpture in front of him, but five or six black-clothed people, each holding a weapon of different shapes in their hands, surrounding Li Xiuzhu in the middle.

As the spirit behind the same body as Li Xiuzhu, Lu Tao could feel that Li Xiuzhu had been injured, and there was no place in his body that did not hurt. The spiritual power in his body was empty, and his breath was also very unstable, and in the afterglow, Li Xiuzhu's arm hanging to the side was dripping blood down drop by drop.

"Hmph, just tie your hands! You have no way to escape!" the man in black in the lead said, "If you let us make a little less effort, maybe we can still spare your life, hahahaha!"

Li Xiuzhu didn't say a word, just clenched the long sword in his hand.

“...... Since you toast and don't eat and drink, then don't blame us. Kill him!"

Just as Li Xiuzhu raised his long sword and was about to face the battle, a voice as bright as a yellow warbler came from behind the man in black: "Wait a minute!"

Several black-clothed people stopped the swords in their hands, and the leading black-clothed people turned to look at the comer, and then bent down: "Holy Maiden, why are you here!"

"You don't have to worry about this, this demon ...... I'm going to take it away. ”

"But...... Didn't the Sect Master say?" the man in black asked with some hesitation.

"Hmph! The sect master has his own explanation over there, do you want to disobey my orders?" The voice continued to sound, and with the sound of feet stepping on the withered yellow leaves, a white-clothed girl wearing a gauze appeared in front of her, staring at Li Xiuzhu with a pair of bright eyes.
