Chapter 18
As Lu Yu and the two of them reached in, there was no light in the corridor of the secret room, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see his five fingers, Lu Yu couldn't help frowning slightly, although his soul power could see the surroundings clearly, but in order to reduce the fear in Xue Wenxuan's heart, Lu Yu still took out a piece of white crystal fluorite from the ring, and in an instant, the pitch-black corridor suddenly brightened up a lot.
The surroundings were quiet and terrifying, and the humid environment was filled with a burst of white mist from time to time, which increased the cold atmosphere here, and occasionally cold water droplets in the corridor dripped on Xue Wenxuan's trembling body, which made the strength on her snow-white arms intensify a little, and her cheeks were also tightly attached to Lu Yu's neck, and the two small faces were sometimes in close contact and sometimes separated.
Lu Yu felt that his cheeks were as cool and comfortable as sticking to a piece of warm jade, and his body couldn't help but rise a trace of imperceptible heat, and then he coughed lightly, and suddenly his feet slipped, as if he had stepped on something, and when he looked down, it turned out to be an eerie skull.
"Ah, ghost!" Xue Wenxuan exclaimed in shock, his body trembled a few times again, and his little face hurriedly turned to the side.
"It's okay, close your eyes, don't open them, you see, I'm so strong, those demons and monsters are only afraid of me, if I don't go to them, they should burn high incense, how dare they come here?" Lu Yu felt the fear in Xue Wenxuan's heart, and comforted narcissistically.
"Hearing you say this, I feel much better, Brother Yu, do you know, with you, I have become a lot bolder, usually my father doesn't let me come out, this is the first time I went out, fortunately let me meet you, you are just like my fourth brother, he is also very good to me, he cares about me everywhere, unlike my fifth brother, who is very strict with me. ”
Xue Wenxuan talked about his family affairs endlessly, and he might not feel frightened as soon as he spoke.
Slowly, Lu Yu walked to the end of the corridor, what appeared in front of him was an ancient and broken bronze iron door, two feet high, Lu Yu exerted the power of the soul, found that there was no ghost, and then slowly pushed open the iron door and walked in, and looked at it, it turned out to be a magnificent side hall.
The side hall is extremely wide, the size of a football field, there are dozens of huge stone pillars on both sides of the avenue, the stone pillars are five zhang high, but most of them are incomplete, the palm prints, fist prints and the imprints of various blades on the stone pillars are clearly visible, and the broad bluestone slab is covered with criss-crossing terrifying cracks, as dense as spider webs, these cracks are bottomless at a glance.
The gloomy corpses on the ground could be seen everywhere, densely packed with almost the entire ground, seeing this, Lu Yu and the others couldn't help but feel a chill rise all over their bodies.
Lu Yu also frowned slightly, there must have been some big war here, I don't know how many years have passed since now, what kind of hatred can make so many people die here, but these have nothing to do with him, let's be practical, search and see what treasures there are, and Xue Wenxuan's frightened heart has eased a little, and he is no longer as afraid as before.
Exerting his soul power again, Lu Yu suddenly found that there was an old man in gray sitting in front of the side hall, the old man's face was like ashes, almost lifeless, and Lu Yu felt the power of the soul trembling slightly from this old man.
"Boy, be careful, this old man is a little weird. Haotian reminded loudly.
"Well, teacher, I'll be careful. ”
Lu Yu said with a solemn expression, and then slowly walked up to the old man, and used his soul power to probe again, and found that there was also a faint soul in his body, but this soul didn't seem to be quiet, as if it was trembling all the time.
Probably due to discovering Lu Yu's soul prying, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, shot out two cold rays of light, and said with a smug smile: "Haha, Mu Zhentian, I can't imagine it, when you were about to replace me, you suddenly sent two tonics, you can't count today's changes even if you don't count it!" The voice was gloomy and sharp, making people feel a chill all over.
"You two get out of here, he'll kill you. ”
A steady and thick voice came, it was the same old man who spoke, and suddenly it was like two people, Lu Yu immediately guessed that he must have been occupied by other souls, but he did not completely erase the other party's sanity, Lu Yu secretly screamed that it was not good, and his body retreated rapidly.
"I want to go, do you think you can go?" A sharp voice sounded, and the old man raised his hand with a palm after speaking, and the thick and huge yuan force was condensed into a red palm with terrifying energy fluctuations in an instant, and the fierce wind slapped towards Lu Yu, and the attack of this speed was impossible to dodge at all.
"Earth Fist!"
Seeing the red palm coming towards him, Lu Yu's face changed slightly, knowing that this palm was not trivial, and the yuan power of his body was also roaring out without reservation, only to see his palm clenched, his arm was turbulent, and he slammed towards the red palm.
Boom!
The fists and palms collided head-on, and a low muffled sound instantly echoed in the hall, but Lu Yu's figure flew out upside down like a cannonball, at this time he was still carrying Xue Wenxuan on his back, if he fell, he would definitely hurt him first, Lu Yu didn't care about the severe pain in his body, he turned upside down in the air and teleported, and then held Xue Wenxuan in his arms.
With a bang, Lu Yu's back slammed into the bluestone slab, only to feel the qi and blood in his body surge, his face was pale, and he hurriedly ran the Gathering Spirit Bead and pressed down the qi and blood.
Xue Wenxuan fell into Lu Yu's arms, feeling that Lu Yu's arms had touched her soft existence, her cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and she hurriedly broke free from Lu Yu's embrace, her heart fluttering and jumping.
At this time, Lu Yu had also slowly stood up, his eyes were staring at the old man in gray in front of him with hatred, and he found that the old man was still sitting there without moving, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "If I guess correctly, your legs should not be able to stand, I am some distance away from you now, and you can't help me." ”
"Really, even if you stood a little farther away, it would have been easy for me to kill you. The sharp sound sounded again, and the old man slapped it again.
Lu Yu picked up Xue Wenxuan again, and a free teleportation dodged this palm, and the old man slapped many palms in a row and was dodged by Lu Yu one by one, and suddenly felt incredible, a martial artist who had only gathered a layer of qi had such an agile body, it seemed that he really couldn't help him.
"Boy, your body is very weird, count yourself lucky, get out!" The old man found that he really couldn't kill Lu Yu, so he shook his head helplessly, sighed slightly, and said lightly.
"Kill me if you want to, kill me if you want me to go, let me go if you want me to go, what do you think of me, if I'm not mistaken, this body of yours has only the last bit of life left, I really want to know what will happen to you if you cripple this body of yours. Lu Yu's face was slightly gloomy, and he said in a cold voice with a hint of temptation.
"Young man, if you can really cripple this body, the old man will be able to liberate, and he will give you a satisfactory reward for your personal affection. A steady and thick voice came from the old man's mouth.
"Okay, senior, I'll do my best. Lu Yu clenched his fists and said indifferently.
"Boy, you dare!" the shrill old man threatened.
"Hundred Steps Flying Sword!"
With a light drink, Lu Yu's whole body of Yuan Force suddenly roared out, and the Spirit Gathering Sword immediately took out of his hand, as fast as lightning, and with a piercing scream, it swept towards the old man's heart.
The old man waved his palm, and the vitality in front of him rioted in an instant, quickly forming a huge formation in the air, and then turned into a thick shield, blocking the old man, and the shield was faintly covered with mysterious black runes, those runes were tightly condensed, and the runes flickered, as if thousands of long snakes were crowded together, shuttling and wriggling with each other, looking very eerie and terrifying.
A hundred steps flying sword, the sword pierces everything!
Allow the things of the world, break the things of the world!
Just a shield, what a way!
There was almost no hindrance, and the Spirit Gathering Sword penetrated the shield with a momentum like a bamboo, and then like a sharp arrow, it shot into the heart of the old man, and then shot out from his back, leaving a fist-sized blood hole on the old man's body, and the old man suddenly fell to the ground unconscious.
Although the gray-clothed old man fell to the ground, Lu Yu did not relax his vigilance at all, his eyes were still firmly fixed on the old man's body, his palm was holding the Spirit Gathering Sword, and the Yuan Force of his body had already been adjusted to the peak state, ready to meet all kinds of changes at any time.
Xue Wenxuan also stood behind Lu Yu in shock, grabbing one of his wrists tightly with both hands, biting his lips tightly, and trembling slightly.
In a moment, a ghostly dark phantom suddenly floated out of the old man's body, fangs and claws, eerie and terrifying, and screamed angrily at Lu Yu: "Stinky boy, you are bad for me, I will kill you!"
"Teacher, can the Spirit Gathering Sword block the ghost?" Lu Yu's face changed slightly.
"No, the Spirit Gathering Sword can only break the real thing, and the ghost shadow is a virtual thing, and it can't resist the enemy. Haotian said lightly.
"Can Genki hurt him?"
"No, your vitality is too weak. ”
"What should I do then, do you want to run away now?" Lu Yu said in a slightly panicked tone.
"Little guy, don't worry, isn't there still a teacher for me?" Haotian comforted.
"Teacher, it turns out that you are still hidden!" Lu Yu suddenly calmed down and said with a smile.
Seeing Xue Wenxuan's frightened face, Lu Yu smiled faintly, patted her shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, I have a helper." ”
Looking at the faint smile on Lu Yu's face, Xue Wenxuan's frightened heart calmed down a little, and his spiritual eyes stared at every move in front of him again.
"It's just a little miscellaneous fish, and he dares to be arrogant in front of this emperor!"
As soon as the ghost shadow pounced on Lu Yu, a soul coercion that was several times more powerful than the ghost shadow swept out in an instant, and quickly transformed into a huge silver-white palm, slapping towards the black shadow, and where it passed, the surrounding space was distorted for a while.
Syllable!
The silver-white giant hand slapped the black shadow, and with a bang, the black shadow fell heavily on the bluestone ground, and the originally black and oppressive ghost suddenly dimmed a lot, and there was no longer the arrogance of the previous fangs and claws, and instead became a little trembling, and the dark eyes were already full of fear.
"Bastard, how could he have such a powerful helper. ”
The black shadow was already cowardly, and he didn't dare to fight, but he waved his hands forward, and the space in front of him instantly distorted, and a thick strange fluctuation suddenly spread, and then the black shadow's hands were pulled violently in the air, and the space was suddenly torn out of a pitch-black hole, and the black gas lingered next to the cave entrance, and Lu Yu and the two who were watching couldn't help but gasp, and then the black shadow quickly drilled into the black hole and disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"Teacher, he escaped. Lu Yu pointed in the direction where the black shadow had fled and hurriedly shouted.
"Don't worry, he can't escape, the space is shifted!"
Casually made a mark in the air, Haotian snorted softly, the space in front of him suddenly distorted, and in an instant it became another scene, the black shadow just jumped out of the black hole, and suddenly found that it was back to the original place, his eyes were terrified, and before he could react, he was grabbed by a silver-white giant hand.
"Boy, look where you're still running away, say, what are you doing here?" Haotian asked sharply.
"For the sake of the Wood Spirit Compass Seal, senior, let me go, I won't dare to do it in the future. The shadow shuddered and begged in horror.
"Little one, that old man's vitality is draining rapidly, infuse your pure vitality into him. Haotian hurriedly reminded.
Lu Yu immediately injected Yuan Li into the old man's body, and after a quarter of an hour or so, the old man woke up leisurely and said gratefully: "I am Mu Zhentian, the last patriarch of the Mu Ling Clan, thank you for coming to the rescue, dare to ask who this senior is?"
"It turned out to be Mu Lao, I am Haotian, and I am just a remnant soul, this is my apprentice, this is his friend. Haotian introduced.
"It turned out to be Senior Hao, I heard Master mention you, and you were also a powerful figure at that time. Mu Zhentian sighed and said in a low voice.
"That was a long time ago, I forgot it, Mu Lao, how did you end up like this?" Haotian asked suspiciously.
"It's a long story, but let's start with that big war, our wood spirit clan was invaded by the demons, the strong fell ten of the **, heavy casualties, although we united with other spirit clans to repel the demons, and finally forced the demons to sign a contract, from then on not to invade each other, but the ambitions of the demons have never stopped, they are still trying to destroy us by all means, I guess this is just part of their plan. Mu Zhentian's thoughts seemed to have returned to a long, long time ago, and he spoke slowly.
