Chapter 15: The Strange Cave
In the night, a broken brick above the roof of the Kunlun office moved, and then it turned into a man in a leotard and stood up.
The light was not good at night, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see his appearance clearly, only that he was a young man.
As soon as he jumped up, he turned into a light and shadow and flew high into the sky, giving people the feeling of a fire meteor that pierced the sky.
This person hid on the roof and eavesdropped, Qi Lu and Lao Wu didn't notice it at all, which showed that his mana was extremely profound, and he was not an idle person.
In the blink of an eye, the light and shadow stopped flying somewhere in a deep mountain and old forest, and then silently descended under the huge canopy bushes.
As soon as his feet hit the ground, an indescribable rich demonic aura poured out of his long body, rustling the leaves around him.
In the moonlight, his entire figure was bathed in the shadow of a ruined wall, and a bat that roosted in the cave seemed frightened, and recklessly fled from the air less than a foot above his head. Unfortunately, with a slight "pop", the unlucky bat was torn to pieces by the mysterious force before he could see the visitor's face clearly.
A few drops of dirty blood fell onto the young man's shoulder, and he sneered and brushed away the blood stained on his clothes, stooped through the hole in the wall, and walked inside.
Behind the wall was a crumbling courtyard, perhaps unvisited for many years, and the weeds on the ground were up to the knees. Wooden remains of unknown material and broken bricks are scattered among the barely intact soil, slowing visitors down.
As if enjoying the oppressive feeling that pervaded the darkness of the night, the young man rode around the corridor and turned to the back of the courtyard.
What appeared in his field of vision was an intricately carved gate.
The black figure's right hand was only slightly raised, and the strange door disappeared without a trace in an instant as if it had been swallowed by another space. A mysterious blue light shrouded the young man, and he disappeared into the deserted courtyard like the strange door.
A flight of stairs stretches infinitely into the ground, as if there is no end to it. The young man walked down with ease by the faint blue light from the handrail. The passage is surrounded by stone walls and ceilings, but it is not stained with the slightest dust, which is very different from the abandoned courtyard outside.
After walking about a hundred meters, the young man finally reached the end of the stairs, all the faint light was gone, and in front of him seemed to be a strange space that could swallow all the light.
Suddenly, in the depths of this extremely dark and dark underground, a pair of ghostly eyes flashed in front of the young man.
"Coming back?" The ghostly eyes closed, and the space plunged into darkness again.
"Yes, I'm back." The young man frowned and said, "What the boss said does make sense, it's not a good idea to face that soul master surnamed Qi head-on. ”
"Ji Wei, are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid, how could I be afraid, although this guy has a deep relationship with the Golden Emperor Harvest, but after all, he is a demon hunter in a low-level race."
"Don't forget, Si Lu Xingjun has died in Qi Lu's hands."
"Hehe, you mean Zhou Ji's bag." The young man, known as Ji Wei, said, "The most suitable candidate to become Si Lu Xingjun is still asleep, and this waste is just a temporary replacement we are looking for. Thanks to me, I also taught him the Netherworld Mind Method, but he couldn't even beat a soul crosser, and the mud really couldn't support the wall. ”
"Hmph, it's easy to say, as the victim of your master's credit, but my dear friend!" The Eye of the Devil's Fire opened again.
"It's all dead, what do you care?" Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, another male voice appeared in the dark. "We must kill that Qi Lu as soon as possible, and we can't let him become a stumbling block for us to move towards the temple."
The man's words stopped abruptly, followed by a scream, as if someone had punched him hard.
Suddenly, a white light shone from the eerie underground, and the entire cave lit up.
It is a mysterious cave with a mysterious atmosphere at every turn, and in the center there is a dragon chair carved out of a single piece of black crystal, which is carved with strange dragons.
On each side of it were three black chairs, and on the chair on the left sat the man with ghostly eyes, and the young man sitting opposite him was Hu Lei, a mirage demon who had fought with Qi Lu, who was wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth with his hands.
"It seems that you have angered your master, do you want to disobey his orders?" Ji Wei, who was standing behind them, sneered and looked at Hu Lei.
There were countless rays of light on the dragon chair that were entangled with each other, and finally a middle-aged man with a slightly white beard sat on it, he was Sha Hua!
"Knock on the master." All three got up and knelt down.
"Get up." Sha Hua waved his hand weakly.
The three of them sat back in their chairs, while Ji Wei sat next to Hu Lei.
"Don't look at me as I'm dying, and try to do anything wrong." Sha Hua coughed and said, "I emphasize one last time, if anyone takes the initiative to trouble Qi Lu, I will screw off his head first." ”
"Yes!" The three of them all bowed their heads in response, not daring to look directly into Sha Hua's fierce eyes. Especially Hu Lei, he didn't even dare to catch his breath.
"How's the situation on the Tianji Star?" Sha Hua asked Ji Wei.
"Master Qiyu, he said that as long as he can fully infuse the spirit of the Upper Life Star Monarch, he will hand over the things to us."
"Hmph, you want to negotiate terms with me?" Sha Hua said a little angrily: "Has he forgotten that his current status is all due to me!" ”
Ji Wei whispered, "Why should the master be angry. In fact, he had concerns, after all, it was too conspicuous compared to what we had already gotten, and it was the treasure of the Semitic clan. If he suddenly disappears, it will be difficult for him to explain to the group of foxes on the surface. ”
"Well, sure enough, the fox nature has not changed, and he always wants to leave a way out for himself. I'll give him a few more days. Sha Hua glanced at Ji Wei and the man with the Eye of Ghost Fire and said, "For the sake of a scourge, you want to fight in the nest?" ”
"The little ones don't dare." The two quickly got up and knelt down to apologize.
Ji Wei peeked at him while kneeling, and when he saw that Sha Hua didn't mean to be angry, he said, "I will continue to spy on the Semitic clan and secretly help Tianji Xing." ”
"Forget it, you better go and rest, lest anyone be upset again." As he spoke, Sawa looked at the man with the Devil's Eye again, and he lowered his eyes in a panic, as if Sawah's eyes could see through his heart.
Sha Hua paused for a moment and then said, "Hu Lei, I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins." ”
"Please, master." Hu Lei hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.
"You replace Ji Wei to assist Tianji Xing."
"Yes."
"Remember!" Sha Hua said in an extremely stern tone: "If you want to be the enemy of Qi Lu again, you will come to me with your head raised." ”
"The little ones don't dare!" Hu Lei stood up tremblingly, turned into a blue light, and flew out of the cave.
"Go down, all of you."
Ji Wei and the two hurriedly got up to leave, and when they were about to exit the cave, Sha Hua stopped Ji Wei again.
"Master, what else do you have to say?" After the man with the eye of the ghost fire left, Ji Wei asked Sha Hua cautiously.
"When will Si Lu Xingjun wake up?"
"In less than a month, at half of the ninth night of the first month of the next month, the year old star committed a ghost, which is a good day for his resurrection in the world."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes, master."
"Don't call me master." Sahua suddenly became sad and said, "Actually, you all know that I am only temporarily acting in this position, and once your true master is resurrected on this earth, I will die. ”
Ji Wei's throat moved, and suddenly a chill felt in his heart, and he forcibly swallowed everything he wanted to say back into his stomach. His eyes, a little lonely, stared at the back of the dragon chair.
It was a clearing, and there was a strange flower growing in the clearing, its leaves as green as emerald, and it exuded a burst of fragrance. But if you look closely, you can see that the edges of the leaves are already yellowish, especially those near the roots are completely withered. And at the top of the branch, there is a flower bone as bright as a rose that is about to bud. The entire deep cave is a little vibrant because of the purple and red buds.
In the blink of an eye, the east was white, and Ding Xiaolan came to Kunlun Office to start a new day's work.
She sat down on the office chair, and before she could turn on the computer, she saw Qi Lu walking over with a smile.
"Beauty, your task today is to finish reading all these books for me." Qi Lu placed a stack of books on the table in front of her.
Ding Xiaolan took a cursory look and found that they were all books on Taoist cultivation and the like, and couldn't help but ask a little puzzled: "Why are you showing me these books?" ”
"I discussed with Lao Wu last night, and I think your task now is to learn some simple spells quickly, and it will be convenient to go out to do things in the future, at least you can protect yourself."
"Uncle has read me these books before, but I still haven't been able to learn any of them."
"You must have gained something from reading quietly this time." Qi Lu's eyes began to wander a little.
"I think you two think I'm a burden, so you randomly found some books to show me, in fact, you want to dump me and solve the case alone!" Ding Xiaolan's face was full of dark clouds.
"Look at what you said, how could I do this" Qi Lu suddenly closed his mouth.
"Then Mr. Qi, could you please explain what spells I can learn from these two books?" Ding Xiaolan smirked, took out two books from the stack of books and threw them in front of Qi Lu.
"This" Qi Lu looked at the "Journey to the West" and another "Romance of the Gods" on the table, and suddenly looked extremely embarrassed, and then he yelled at the inner room: "Old Wu, you come out for me!" ”
"What's the matter? Soul crying early in the morning! Old Wu ran over drunken and hazy.
"What do you say is going on! I asked you to choose some targeted books for Xiao Ding, and you will show her this? Qi Lu pointed to the two books on the table and asked Lao Wu angrily.
"Hey, hey." Lao Wu laughed, quickly took the two books into his arms and said, "Don't drink too much, I took these two books for entertainment into my hand." ”
"You" Ding Xiaolan pointed to Qi Lu's nose and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Xiao Qi, it's not too early, we should also get down to business!" Old Wu glanced at Qi Lu.
"yes." Qi Lu and Lao Wu ran towards the door, running faster than a rabbit.
