Chapter Twenty-Three: The Red Lotus Envoy Treasure Hunter Lamp

What kind of sacred fire would a serious person offer with his soul?

Seeing that the two were about to go away, Cao Xiu hurriedly glanced at Chen Shi.

I didn't even drink tea at the moment, and I just checked out and left!

They thought that it would not take long for the other party to go to see the holy envoy, but they didn't expect the other party to go around and around, and actually went out of the city, and finally came to a manor more than ten miles away from Jiangzhou City, and then they arrived at the place.

The manor is very large, and you can still see many red-clad figures patrolling the surroundings inside and out.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xiu couldn't help frowning.

What surprised him even more was that there was a strange aura faintly rising in this manor, which made him feel a little depressed.

"It seems that there should be a monk here who has placed a ban, but it shouldn't be too strong, otherwise I won't feel it."

Cao Xiu muttered a few words in his heart.

Looking up at the sky, it was almost dusk.

He only went out in the afternoon, found Chen Shi and went to his own shop, and finally followed Qian Wanchong and others around in circles, and more than an hour has passed now!

"Stone, it's getting dark, you go back first, so as not to worry about the family!"

In the woods not far from the manor, Cao Xiu tugged at Chen Shi's sleeve and said, "Also, don't forget to go to my house, tell my mother, and say that I will go back later, and ask her not to come to me." ”

"You don't want to infiltrate the manor, do you?"

Although Chen Shi has a good temperament, he is not stupid, and he quickly guessed Cao Xiu's plan.

Hurriedly persuaded: "Don't mess around, these people are not easy to see, let's go back and tell the elders, let them figure out a way!"

My father is very familiar with Zhao Zhutou, or I will go back and let my father find Zhao Zhutou to make peace, once someone in the government intervenes, how can these gang forces give some face! ”

"This is no ordinary gang!"

Cao Xiu shook his head: "Let's go, you won't be able to enter the city gate after a while!" ”

"And what do you do?"

"Don't forget, I've advanced to the congenital, and my strength can be released, and the city walls can't stop me!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Shi suddenly lost his temper.

There is no way, although he is only one foot away from breaking the realm, but if he does not break through, he does not break through, Zhenyuan cannot be released, and he can't climb the city wall several feet high.

"Okay then."

He finally advised: "Be careful, don't do anything, retreat quickly!" ”

"Don't worry!"

Cao Xiu waved his hand: "I'm just a little temptation, and I won't joke with my life!" ”

Chen Shi nodded when he heard this, seeing that the sky was getting more and more dim, he didn't dare to waste time, and turned to leave.

When he walked away, Cao Xiu looked at the manor.

He did not act rashly, but waited for the sky to completely darken, and then quietly avoided a group of patrolling strong men, sneaked outside the back wall of the manor, jumped up, climbed the wall with his hands, and looked inside.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, he turned over and jumped in.

There was a click, and a dead branch was broken under his feet.

"Who?"

Behind the rockery not far away, a young man with a long hand suddenly appeared.

The young man had a red cloth tied around his forehead, his eyes flashing with coldness, and he looked in the direction from which the movement came, but he did not find the slightest abnormality.

"Strange, no one?"

The young man looked around left and right, puzzled.

He didn't believe he had heard it wrong, but there were only a few flowers and plants under the wall, and he couldn't hide people!

"Meow ......"

At this moment, a cat's meow came from not far away, which immediately relieved the young man's heart.

It turned out to be a night cat!

He shook his head, sheathed his sword, and turned to walk out of the courtyard.

In the cave, Cao Xiu smiled slightly.

He deliberately made a movement, just to see if there were people hiding in the shadows.

And whether anyone came to check on it or not, after stepping on the branch, he would hide in the cave.

It was with the treasure map cave as a hole card that he dared to come in and explore!

Seeing the man walk away at this time, he dodged out of the cave, crossed the path paved with three rows of square bricks, bypassed the tall and lush green bamboos on both sides of the road, and a small lake appeared in front of him.

There are lotus flowers planted in the lake, which looks quite elegant, but the lotus flowers in full bloom are as beautiful as blood, which makes people feel a little weird when they look at them.

Originally, Cao Xiu was still a little strange, he obviously felt a strange aura outside, why didn't he trigger any prohibition along the way?

At this moment, when I saw those bewitching lotus flowers, I immediately knew where the breath I felt before came from.

The lotus flower in the lake is extraordinary!

This can be seen from the strange fragrance emanating from the lotus flower.

However, Cao Xiu only glanced at it a few times, and did not start picking.

The lotus flowers that can grow here, even if they are a little strange, the grade is not too high, and the area around the small lake is definitely banned, and he doesn't want to expose himself because of such a few lotus.

When he passed around the small lake and through a moon gate, a house appeared in front of him, many of which were not only brightly lit, but also faintly voiced.

Through the window, he could see that in the middle room, there were more than a dozen people sitting, apparently discussing something.

Cao Xiu was a little difficult, although he had a treasure map cave to hide, but he didn't have the means to stealth, he walked over directly, and it was easy to be discovered.

Just when he was hesitating whether to retreat directly or bypass the house and look elsewhere, he suddenly heard a thunderous shout from the house: "What people! ”

Cao Xiu was shocked, and thought that he had exposed his figure, so he hurriedly dodged into the cave.

After all, just by listening to the majesty emanating from the voice, you know that this person's cultivation is strong, and it is definitely not something he can contend with!

However, when he entered the cave, he did not notice any attacks falling on this side, but in the direction of the sound, there was a sudden loud bang, and then the roof was pierced, and two figures flew out of it.

"It turned out to be a false alarm!"

Cao Xiu's heart was slightly relieved, and he looked in the direction of the fight through the treasure map.

And then I couldn't help but be surprised!

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a red robe and a lotus crown standing on the top of a big tree.

The flames around his body were swirling, and with the traction of the law in his hand, the flames continued to bombard in all directions.

And around him, there was a black shadow that appeared and disappeared from time to time, and the speed was dazzling, so that he couldn't see the figure at all, and he couldn't distinguish between men and women, only one sharp attack after another made the middle-aged man in the red robe tired to deal with!

"Whew!"

With a soft sound, a cut in the red robe was cut, and a blood mark appeared on the middle-aged man's body!

"Bastard, do you really think I can't deal with you?"

The red-robed middle-aged man was suddenly furious, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and a lotus lamp immediately flew out of the pierced house and landed in front of him.

A little light in the wick was like a bean, the light was dim, swaying in the wind, and it seemed that it could be blown out at any moment.

But as the middle-aged man chanted the mantra in his mouth, pinched the trick in his hand, and stretched out his hand, the bean-sized fire in the lotus lamp jumped slightly, and suddenly burst out a little spark.

"Hoo ......"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and blew out a flame, and after triggering the spark, it instantly skyrocketed a hundredfold, turning into a sky-high flame and rushing towards the black shadow.

"Ahh

A slightly immature girl's cry of pain came out, and the black shadow was suddenly blown away by the flames, and the flames burned to the body, and it was impossible to extinguish it for a while.

The black shadow obviously knew that it was powerful, and did not dare to fight again, so he turned around and flew towards the outside of the manor.

It's just that the flames on her body are like tarsal bones, drilling into her body along the pores around her body, even if she desperately consumes mana, she can only barely resist, and before the power of the flames is exhausted, she can only run against a ball of flames.

Although the speed is still extremely fast, it is like a candle in the dark night, and it is impossible to escape incognito!

"Still want to run?"

The middle-aged man sneered, sent the lotus lantern back to its place with his backhand, and flew towards the burning figure.

Not only him, but the dozen or so figures in the previous house also jumped like flying, and followed after him.

"Awesome!"

Cao Xiu was secretly frightened when he saw it.

But soon, he turned his gaze to the place where the middle-aged man sent the lotus lantern down.

Quietly walked to the window, took a closer look, and found that there was an altar in the house, and the lotus lamp was enshrined on the altar!

Since the room was empty, he was no longer polite and jumped straight in.

Three or two steps to the altar, just about to make a move, I heard footsteps not far away, and quickly flashed my body and hid in the cave again.

Then I saw a few people go into the room and look around, and when they saw that there was nothing abnormal, they left here and searched for other places.

When they left, Cao Xiu didn't leave the cave, but just poked his hand out, grabbed the lotus lantern and retracted it.
