Chapter 301: Uninvited Guest

The temple was located at the bottom of the holy pool, and as soon as Zhu Jue came out of it, several black poisonous gases approached him from all sides, like a demon's claw, and he was about to grab him. Zhu Jue, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was shocked, and hurriedly covered the surface of his body with a layer of green fire curtain to isolate those poisonous gases.

"How can this be ......," Zhu Jue muttered. The originally clear water of the lake has now turned a turbid yellow, and between the surges, it emits bursts of fishy smell. And the abundant aura contained in the water has now dissipated. His face turned pale, and he swam up, and it was not long before he broke out of the water and returned to shore.

The situation on the shore was worse than he thought. As far as the eye can see, there are corroded flowers and plants, stiff but not dissolved, showing a scorched black color. Among the flowers and plants, there are many dry bones of animals, maintaining the posture of life, or hunting, or resting, as if they are completely unaware of the coming of the disaster. Zhu Jue felt a churn in his stomach, he couldn't stay here any longer, he had to leave as soon as possible.

When he walked to the arch, Zhu Jue found that on the stone platforms on both sides, there were no black and white elders at this moment, only two thick chains remained, still coiled on the stone platform. The old man's mission is to protect the sacred pool, and now that the sacred pool has been destroyed, the meaning of guarding this place has been lost. Zhu Jue felt a little stunned, but then realized a cruel reality: he had to walk down Genting Mountain on foot.

When they went up the mountain, they rode the crane to the top, and it only took a pillar of incense to reach this place. It may not seem like a long journey, but it isn't. Although the plants at the top of the hill have been corroded by poisonous gas, the trees below are still flourishing. All kinds of strange rocks stand abruptly, and the low shrubs are like an impermeable fence. It took a lot of work for Zhu Jue to finally find a slightly easier path. In the process, he also had to deal with sudden beast attacks from time to time.

It took Zhu Jue a total of seven days to barely reach the foot of the mountain. Along the way, he found that the poisonous gas on the top of the mountain had begun to spread, and even in the area near the foot of the mountain, he could still see a few unknown bunches of wild flowers, mottled in color and pus on the surface, apparently infected by the poisonous gas. With his memory, he traveled all the way south and finally found the location of Genting Hills at the beginning of the moon. By this time, he was already disgraced and hungry.

From a distance, there were two people guarding the gate of the villa, one tall and one short, with their heads held high, looking ahead, both holding swords in their hands. Judging from the costume, it seems to be a disciple of the Sword Sect. Zhu Jue stepped forward directly, and as soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by them.

"Who's coming?" asked the short man.

"I'm Zhu Jue, a player sent by the Rain Country to participate in the Heroes. Seeing this, Zhu Jue hurriedly explained.

When the two disciples heard this, their faces suddenly showed shocked expressions. They had also heard about Yunding Mountain, and even personally participated in the task of finding Zhu Jue, but the time interval was a little long, and they couldn't remember his face clearly. Now Zhu Jue suddenly appeared, which frightened the two of them.

I saw the two of them look at each other, and then the tall man hugged his fist and said, "Young man, please wait a moment, wait for me to go in and report." After speaking, he turned around and entered the villa, leaving the short man and Zhu Jue in place, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. In the process of waiting, Zhu Jue found that the short man secretly glanced at him from time to time, and felt strange in his heart, but he was embarrassed to ask, so he had to pin his head to the side as if nothing happened. He naturally didn't know how the short man's heart was turbulent and full of surprise in the face of a strong man who was third on the heavenly list.

Not long after, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked out of the villa, and the moment he saw Zhu Jue, his expression froze for a moment, and then was replaced by surprise.

"Great, it's really you!" he grabbed Zhu Jue's hands, his words full of excitement. Zhu Jue didn't know what to say, so he had to stand there and laugh dryly.

"This is Senior Uncle Song of the Sword Sect, and he is now in charge of guarding Genting Villa. The short man said.

"Don't stand here yet, come in with me to fill your stomach, and we'll talk while we eat." ”

Zhu Jue had already had this intention, and he was not polite, and directly followed Uncle Song into the villa. The chefs here are extremely efficient, but in just a few moments, the table is already filled with a variety of dishes, exuding an enticing aroma. When I was in the temple, I ate fish for every meal, and I made Zhu Jue sick to my stomach. Now seeing the sumptuous side dishes and fruits in front of him, Zhu Jue has a great appetite for a while, and he can't care about the image anymore, so he swallows it directly, and his appearance looks like gluttony. And Uncle Song watched quietly from the side and didn't bother him.

After Zhu Jue had eaten and drunk enough and had a full hiccups, Uncle Song asked him where he had been in the past few days.

The cat immortal once warned Zhu Jue not to let anyone know about the existence of the temple. So Zhu Jue could only bite the bullet, saying that he was attacked by Li Rui at that time and fell into a coma. By the time he awoke, he was miles away, and he had waited so badly from his injuries that he had not been able to descend the mountain on his own.

Senior Uncle Song's brows furrowed slightly, obviously having some doubts about Zhu Jue's words, after all, they had searched the entire Yunding Mountain at the beginning, not to mention a few miles away from the Holy Pool, that is, hundreds of miles, they had also searched for it, but they had not found any trace of him. But there's not much point in talking about it right now, as long as people come back.

"Uncle Song, when will I be able to go back?" Zhu Jue asked tentatively.

When Uncle Song heard this, his face suddenly turned embarrassed: "This ...... I'm afraid you'll have to stay at the lodge for a few more days. In the past few days, a major incident has happened in the sect, which has caused the thunder of the Mo master, and almost half of the Sword Sect has been dispatched for this purpose, but everyone has been busy. But don't worry, as long as you have a little free, I will send someone to send you back to the rain country. ”

Zhu Jue nodded: "I don't know what it is, to be so excited?"

Li Rui was rescued. The faint words made Zhu Jue's face change suddenly.

Later in the evening, Zhu Jue was lying in the guest room of the villa. The continuous trek in the past few days made him feel a little tired. Fortunately, he is no longer what it used to be, just close his eyes in bed and take a nap, and his body has basically recovered. According to Uncle Song's words, in the past few days, the Sword Sect has dispatched a large number of manpower and laid a net around it, vowing to capture Li Rui. The reason for this is nothing more than that so far, there is still not much effective information from Li Rui's mouth, and the only thing that can be determined is that the black-clothed organization is carrying out a secret plan.

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps in my ears. Zhu Jue thought it was Uncle Song, but he didn't care too much. I saw him slowly open his eyes, exhale a breath of turbidity, and then turned his head, and was about to speak, but he saw the figure in front of him clearly, and the whole person was stunned in place.

"You, you......" His teeth chattered, and he could barely speak.

"Hello, Zhu Jue. Nothingness said lightly.
