Chapter 160: A Call for Help
Probably because it was in disrepair and uninhabited, the door frame of the thatched hut was a little crooked, but above this crooked door frame hung a brand-new wooden plaque, and the wooden plaque was engraved with an inconspicuous small pattern, if it wasn't for Li Qingyu's impressed by this pattern, she wouldn't have been able to identify it from the original pattern of the wood.
It was a pattern that changed from the ancient character "ghost", and it was quite artistic when you looked at it, but it was such a group represented by a pattern that would cause a bloody storm in the entire world of spirits in the near future.
The names of this group are -- Wan, Ghost, and Cave.
When Li Qingyu in the previous life followed his senior brother and them out to conquer the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves, he almost looked at this pattern along the way, and every time he saw this pattern, he would stop, and then the person who found the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves clicked a few times to eliminate it, and then continued to find the next den. So don't say it's familiar, Li Qingyu can draw this pattern with his eyes closed.
Is this actually a stronghold of the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves?!
Li Qingyu was extremely shocked in his heart, but his face was rigidly restrained and only showed a little surprise, so as not to attract the man's attention.
&;10,000; Book; bar;.NSb.mnbsp; The current Ten Thousand Ghost Caves in the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm have not yet begun to erupt, they are just hidden hidden forces underground, and it is impossible for an outsider like her to know this pattern, if she accidentally reveals her feet, she may bring trouble to herself and Lu Zhao.
Restraint, must restraint!
Seeing that the female cultivator who was about to enter the door suddenly stopped, the man not only did not make a sound to urge, but waited patiently, but it could be seen from the gaze that he was reluctant to take away from Li Qingyu's face, he probably wished that she would stand longer, so that he could take a few more glances at the beauty.
Taking a few deep breaths to calm his mood, Li Qingyu tried his best to make himself look very natural and walked into the grass hut.
The man led the way for the two of them after closing the door, turned into a side room and walked into a downward tunnel, about ten meters down before it was flat again, and then walked forward more than ten meters and turned a corner. An eerie hall appeared before them.
Looking at the layout in this hall, Li Qingyu was even more sure that this was a stronghold of the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves, otherwise which force would make their garrison so ghostly?
Just as she was looking around, a spiritual cultivator who was shrouded in black robes walked towards them from a corridor, and then stopped three meters away from them, stretched out a bony hand and lifted the hood on his head behind him, revealing an equally skinny face, staring at Li Qingyu and the others for a long time.
Because he had been mentally prepared before, Li Qingyu didn't feel anything, but Lu Zhao was taken aback. She's lived for so long, but it's the first time she's seen someone like this, it's like a corpse! The eyes staring at the two of them made people feel creepy, and there was a yin wind in their backs. If it weren't for Li Qingyu still standing in front of her, it is estimated that she would have run away with a strange scream.
"You two shouldn't be from my sect, how did you know about my sect's entry order?"
Hearing this dry voice, Li Qingyu knew that this black robe was actually a woman, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, and felt a little sick to his stomach, but the question that should be answered still had to be answered.
"I received a message. When I came here to find wind chimes, she taught me how to knock on the door. Li Qingyu wrote.
Although I wondered why Li Qingyu would choose to answer the question in such a troublesome way as writing, it was obvious that this was not within the scope of the black-robed woman's responsibilities so she didn't ask, and when she saw the content on the paper. The vigilance suddenly decreased a lot, and even the voice was not as dry as before: "It turned out that she was looking for Elder Feng, she took a mission yesterday and went out, and she will probably come back tonight or tomorrow morning." If you're not in a hurry, you can take a break here and wait for her to come back. ”…
Absence?
Hear such a result. Li Qingyu's heart was greatly relieved, and hurriedly wrote: "I still have something to do outside, so I won't wait here, I will come to her again tomorrow afternoon, please help me tell her, just say, 'Ali came to her'." ”
"Okay, no problem."
"Can I leave now, then?"
The black-robed woman turned her head to look at the man who had led them in before: "Slippery heads, send them out." ”
The man immediately bowed down and replied, "Yes!" ”
So the three of them went back the way they came.
After confirming that the door of the grass hut had been closed, Lu Zhao took Li Qingyu's hand and dragged her out for hundreds of meters before stopping, touching her chest with a dishful face, looking overly frightened.
"Ah Li, what kind of people were those just now, so scary, the people you know are actually in such a sect, or are they elders?"
Unlike her, Li Qingyu had a solemn face, and even the air pressure around her body was a little dull: "I don't know what is going on, she was still fine when I met her before." "But that kind of physical condition obviously can't make her choose to take the right path anymore, could it be that she forgot her advice, not only took the wrong path, but also got on the thief ship of the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves? It's not going to be easy......
"Do you know, I was almost scared out just now, if it weren't for you standing in front of me, I probably couldn't help but run away......" Speaking of the experience just now, Lu Zhao was still a little frightened, looking at Li Qingyu's eyes full of admiration, "Are you going to come to that person tomorrow?" Why don't we bring a few more people, I think it's a bit dangerous. ”
Seeing her like this, Li Qingyu couldn't help laughing, and the words written were a little crooked: "I'll come alone tomorrow." "It just so happens that the things that she has to deal with between her and the wind chime are not something that ordinary people can participate in, and it is better to have no bystanders.
Lu Zhao was shocked: "How can you do it alone?!" Those people aren't good people at first glance! ”
Girl, you guessed it right, they are really not good people.
Li Qingyu thought so, but what he wrote was something else: "Don't worry, my friend is definitely a good person, it's going to be fine, believe me." ”
"But......" Lu Zhao was very worried that Li Qingyu's current physical condition could not cope with the sudden dangerous situation, although she could use spiritual power and divine thoughts now, she was still easily injured, in case of an accident, how should she explain to the other clansmen?
Li Qingyu wrote again: "Don't worry. ”
The two words took up almost the entire paper, and with that firm face, Lu Zhao had to nod and agree: "Then you must pay attention to safety, and if you encounter an accident, you must run away in time!" ”
"Okay."
originally thought that this topic was over, but Lu Zhao nagged about this matter all night, which made Li Qingyu annoyed, and as soon as it was dawn the next day, she excused herself to go out and prepare to slip away alone, leaving Lu Zhao alone in the inn uneasy.
The time quickly passed noon, and Li Qingyu slowly walked out of the city and walked in the direction of the thatched house, according to her speed, she could walk to the thatched house in about an hour.
But she had only walked for half an hour before she stopped, because not far ahead, a black-robed man was standing facing her, looking like he was waiting for someone, and the figure was slightly familiar, Li Qingyu thought about it and walked straight towards the person.
The black-robed man didn't react to her actions, and didn't move even if she walked in front of her.
Li Qingyu took out a notebook and put it in front of the black-robed man: "Bell? ”
These two words were like flipping a switch, and the black-robed man suddenly trembled and stretched out his hands to cover his face under the hood, and a low cry came from under the hood: "I thought it was ...... I thought you wouldn't be able to catch up with ......"...
Can't catch up? What do you mean?
Li Qingyu was about to ask, when the wind chime suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist and ran towards the woods, she was pulled and stumbled, but fortunately she used her spiritual power in time to stabilize her body, otherwise she would have fallen directly to the ground.
The two of them ran wildly through the rugged woods one after the other, as if someone was chasing them behind them.
After running for a while, Li Qingyu was a little struggling.
It's true that she can use spiritual power, but the damaged part of the meridian has not yet healed, and running like this will cause great pressure on the meridians, if it continues like this, she will definitely be injured again because her strength can't support it, and it will be even more troublesome at that time.
Fortunately, the wind chimes stopped before she could hold them anymore.
Holding back the surging of qi and blood, Li Qingyu hurriedly breathed on the spot.
After running crazy for a while, Feng Chime's mood finally normalized, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Li Qingyu's pale face, and was stunned: "Ah Li, are you injured?" ”
When his breathing stabilized, Li Qingyu held up his notebook and replied: "Well, but it's recovering, don't worry." ”
"Can't you talk?!"
"Temporarily, the vocal cords are damaged, and it will probably recover after a while, but I can't speak yet."
"Whew...... It's okay......" Wind Chime breathed a sigh of relief, and then fell silent, as if he didn't know how to speak.
Li Qingyu waited for a while and didn't wait for the next step, then raised the notebook and asked her, "How is your body now?" ”
Wind Chime's body froze visibly, and it took a long time before he hesitated to stretch out a hand to lift the hood.
Looking at the hand that was still very pale although it was more normal than the woman yesterday, Li Qingyu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
The hood was lifted to the back of his head, revealing a face that would scare a child into crying.
Wind Chime's face is much thinner than the last time I saw it, and although it hasn't reached the point of skinny yet, it's not far away. A palm-sized face is covered with strange patterns, in addition to the dark green pattern I saw before, there is also a blood-red pattern, which is very conspicuous in the dark green pattern. There are only a few dozen strands of hair left in the withered grass, and the scalp that is also covered with patterns can be clearly seen through the hair. Below the brow bone, which had no eyebrows, a pair of light green eyes were wide open, with tears in them, full of dead silence and despair.
Li Qingyu's heart had no other thoughts than shock, she didn't expect that the situation of the wind chime would deteriorate to this point!
After waiting for a long time and not waiting for Li Qingyu to say anything, Feng Chime's legs were weak and he knelt on the ground, reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes, his face full of fear: "Ah Li, can I still be saved?" Can you save me? I've ...... I can't live anymore-"-
