Chapter 44: Witchcraft
The secret realm is a small world, and whether the scenery of the four seasons is dangerous or not depends on how the owner designs. Chu Lin and Chu Xiao have been in the territory for more than half a day, but in fact, they can't count the hours, and the hours in the secret territory are not the same as the outside world. After the two came in, they hurried non-stop, killing a few demon beasts on the way, but they still didn't meet Chu Huanhuan and Chu Li.
"What the hell is this?" Chu Lin rarely complained, but finally couldn't help it and spit out.
"The third brother has an echo bell on his body, and looking at the movement, it should not be far away." The little golden bell in Chu Xiao's hand can be regarded as a treasure, and between tens of thousands of miles, he can find the traces of the other party by simply urging it with a secret method.
"You said this power, is there a disease, so many demon beasts and spirit beasts are kept in captivity." Chu Lin wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
On weekdays, the two of them don't have much chance to make a move, and once they go to the secret realm, the demon beast realm is not high, and it also consumes almost all of their spiritual power. According to Jin Ling's guidance, they will probably be able to catch up with them in another day. Fortunately, the location of the secret realm teleportation did not deviate much from Chu Huanhuan and them, otherwise they might not be able to find it even if they broke their legs.
To be on the safe side, I found a cave with nothing to do, repaired it, and recovered some spiritual power before heading out.
"Aren't we going to act too rashly?" Chu Lin sat down, opened the water bladder and drank a few sips of water, and then seemed to come back to life.
For some reason, the demon beasts and spirit beasts in this secret realm are very fierce, and their size is more than twice as large as the outside. Otherwise, they wouldn't have just joined forces to kill a few demon beasts, and their spiritual power would be exhausted. Chu Xiao threw a spirit enhancement pill to Chu Lin, recovering some spiritual power. The pills are valuable, and the foundation building monks generally don't have much money to afford to eat, but the Chu family has a small success in the cultivation realm, even if it is eaten as a jelly bean, it is no problem.
"Something can happen in the Liuyun Sect, who knows what other means there are." Chu Lin closed his Danfeng eyes and meditated on Xiao Zhoutian.
The cave is silent, and the five senses of the cultivator are psychic, and some subtle sounds will also be captured. They weren't going to stay here for long, just to rest. There was still a long way to go in the depths of the cave, and the two did not delve into it. But after the two of them settled down, there were always some knocking sounds from the depths of the cave, unorganized, sometimes there were and sometimes there were none.
I didn't want to pay attention to it, but the movement became louder and louder, disturbing the two of them unable to settle down.
"Second brother, did you hear that?" Chu Lin opened his eyes and looked at the passage leading to the depths.
"I'm annoyed." Chu Xiao also opened his eyes.
If you bump into a fierce beast in another place, the two of them will also be damaged together. It's better to go in here and have a look, it's really risky, just get out. After making up their minds, they each lit their torches and went to the road. They can use the pearl of the night, the lamp jade, but the beasts here have a fear of open fire, so it is safer to use open fire to illuminate.
Chu Lin carefully searched for the sound and walked deeply, the movement was sometimes there, sometimes it was not, and they were also walking and stopping.
Until.......
"Woo woo woo ......"
The road is not long, but it is continuous, after passing through the dark road, it suddenly opens up and has a cave. It is actually a blessed place, a small courtyard and a small palace, and the waterfall in the mountain flows straight down, just like a fairy palace. Even Chu Lin and Chu Xiao were stunned by this scene, the sound was already very clear, and it seemed that it was inhabited.
Why did they break in and no one came out?
Stepping on the bluestone at the foot of the river, there are places on the surrounding rock walls that have been carved out to place fire candles, and the stars are dotted, which illuminates this place. Chu Xiao stretched out his hand and gently pushed open a door, and saw the monk who was tied up with five flowers, with strips of cloth stuffed in his mouth to prevent them from shouting. At this time, several disciples were wriggling like worms, trying in vain to make some noise.
There were stalls on the ground, and they tossed and turned like this, but to little avail.
"Disciple of the Liuyun Sect?" Chu Xiao recognized them and pulled out the strip of cloth from a disciple's mouth at will.
"Help...... Help, save us. He struggled in horror, a little crazy, but he could still speak clearly.
"Why are you here?" Chu Xiao saw that he was a little broken, and decided not to untie the rope for the time being.
"Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist, quickly loosen the tie for us. Our brothers and sisters have all been arrested here. We...... We're going to save them! "The disciple is still a little sober.
"You can save you, tell me what happened first." Chu Lin counted a lot of people, seven or eight.
"As soon as we entered the secret realm, we were teleported to a ...... The bazaar, somehow, walked and walked, and everyone dispersed. Afterwards...... After that, he was tied up by a group of dwarfs and brought here. He looked still a little dazed, but he spoke quite clearly overall.
Chu Lin easily pulled the strip of cloth from the mouths of the other disciples, but did not untie their ropes.
"Your cultivation is not low, why was it plotted by a group of dwarves?" Chu Xiao asked rhetorically.
"We ...... We, in the bazaar, seem to be slowly feeling confused, and we don't know what's going on, falling for their plot! ”
"That's right! Right! It's like sleepwalking! ”
"Let us out first."
"How long have you been trapped? Why is the spiritual power so depleted? Chu Lin saw that they were all unkempt, like flowers, where was there still a little bit of the courage of a disciple of the great sect.
When he asked, he was instantly dumbfounded, and there was an eerie silence for a while.
"After we were caught, we didn't know what methods those demons used, and our spiritual power kept draining from our bodies. I don't remember how long it was, it didn't seem like a long time, it seemed like a long time. ”
"That's right, I've lost a realm of spiritual power."
"I've dropped two realms."
"If you continue like this, you will die of spiritual exhaustion!"
The two didn't dare to release them directly before, because they were afraid of fraud. Now that he really confirmed that these people were disciples of the Liuyun Sect, his worries were even heavier. These disciples are all in the middle stage of foundation building, and some of them are in the late stage, and they have been drained of their spiritual power alive. This kind of evil art is really contrary to the principles of heaven. After breaking the spirit rope, everyone looked dazed and weak.
"I haven't heard of it before, there will be evil techniques in the secret realm that extract people's spiritual power." Chu Lin whispered to Chu Xiao.
"It's really not, Chan Po and Hu Ye are here, do you think it will ......" Chu Xiao frowned, if they came for this, they would definitely not be able to fall into their hands.
There are too many things in the Ghost Domain and the Demon Domain, and if you add an evil art to extract spiritual power, you will not be able to turn the sky upside down. Chu Lin looked at those disciples who were all listless, and finally cleaned up, but they still didn't have much energy.
"Two Taoist friends, chivalrous hearted. The grace of saving his life, when he gets out of the secret realm, he will repay him, and dare to ask the name of his friend? Xie Yuan came to thank him.
"No thanks." Chu Xiao rejected his gratitude.
"We also have deceased people in the Liuyun Sect, I wonder how they are safe?" Chu Lin asked.
"Who's it?" Xie Yuan originally followed Ning Lushuang's team, but now everyone is separated and in distress.
"Chu Li." Chu Xiao originally wanted to ask Chu Huanhuan, but he was afraid that Chu Huanhuan would not be a newcomer soon, and the disciples might not know about it.
"Senior Brother Chu Li, ......" Xie Yuan was surprised, there are not many people who can make friends with Senior Brother Chu: "None of us are from Senior Brother Chu's team, I'm sorry, we don't know the situation of Senior Brother Chu's team either." But it's very likely that we're going to be in the same situation. ”
"Aren't you trying to save people? Don't scatter and look for it, so as not to get an accident. Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information, Chu Lin planned to go to the side room to search again.
"Fellow Daoist, stay. Why don't you join us in taking care of it? Xie Yuan asked.
"We're also looking for people, so don't worry about us." Chu Lin turned around and left a sentence, and Chu Xiao didn't say anything and went out directly.
There is no knot period among the disciples, does it prove that Chu Ling and Chu Huanhuan have not been poisoned for the time being? Ning Lushuang, they have also heard of it, compared with Chu Li's cultivation, it is far behind, and they can barely see it. She also planted it, and basically Chu Ling's disciples who counted backwards couldn't run. It is restricted here, and monks who have cultivated above the age of Yuan Infant are not allowed to enter.
Isn't that ....... This kind of evil art, one catches one by one, and the disciples who come in to practice this time ......
The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, and they checked dozens of rooms in a row, but there was no trace of the monk. The central palace is suspended in mid-air, and occasionally Qingluan flies around the hall, a scene of fairy wind bones, thinking of this scene and this thing, it is all obtained by evil magic, which makes people's hearts hairy. There's movement! The familiar movement from before! It didn't take much effort for them to find the room where the movement was coming from.
When I pushed it open, it was bright red, and the jubilant decorations made the room stand out from the outside.
"Wedding room?" Chu Xiao was puzzled, could it be that there was still a marriage in the secret realm?
The cultivation realm does not pay attention to this when it is a Taoist couple, it is necessary to make a contract of life and death, and the contract is completed, and there is not so much spare time to do this.
"There's a man sitting on the bed." Chu Lin looked at the figure, it should be a woman.
The two looked at each other, and both saw each other's doubts. Do you want to lift the hijab?
Just as the two of them were stunned for a while, they found that there was still movement under the bed. The two of them were careful not to hurt the bride sitting on the bed, and when they got closer, she didn't move, as if she didn't know that someone had broken in. Chu Xiao looked under the bed and saw that there was still someone hidden. After getting it out, I found out that she was still a nun.
...... Are the people in the cultivation realm playing so fiercely?
"Woooooooooooo The nun was so angry that she couldn't stop writhing.
"You....... Girl, calm down. Chu Lin pulled out the strip of cloth from her mouth.
"Who are you?" She looked sober, not as embarrassed as the group of disciples below, and her state was not good.
"We ...... It's a casual practice that comes in and goes through it. Chu Lin replied casually.
"Untie me and run for your lives." The nun gritted her teeth.
"I think you're from the Liuyun Sect." Chu Lin loosened the rope for her.
"Ning Lushuang, if you have difficulties in the future, you will go to the Cloud Sect to find me." Ning Lushuang didn't care about the injuries on her body, and lifted the hijab of the bride sitting on the bed with one hand.
The two of them were a little surprised, this girl is also a tiger.
She patted the bride's face, but the bride did not respond, her eyes were quietly closed, her breathing was steady, and she seemed to be just asleep. Ning Longshuang couldn't care so much, so she reached out to pull the wedding dress on her body, completely ignoring the two people behind her.
"Miss Ning, you, why are you ......" Chu Lin came back to his senses and wanted to go out with Chu Xiao, but did the two girls know each other? Do you have a personal grudge?
"Hurry up. She is a disciple of my Liuyun Sect, and I want to take her out with me. Ning Lushuang didn't give them a single look.
"Can you tell us what's going on?" Chu Lin and Chu Xiao walked behind the screen, so as not to see what they shouldn't see.
"It's too late, if you don't leave, no one can leave." Ning Lushuang's subordinates moved quickly, and after throwing away the wedding dress, he picked up the bride who was only wearing a shirt and rushed out.
