Chapter 174: Mysterious black smoke suddenly appeared
Xuanbao didn't expect Li Zhuo's cultivation to be so profound, and Xuanbao's amazing talent was also beyond Li Zhuo's expectations.
It should be said that not to mention those who have long attained enlightenment in the Xuanmen and Buddhism, the two of them are definitely second to none in the younger generation.
I have to say that the old monk is indeed unfathomable, with the strength of Li Zhuo and Xuanbao, the bluestone slab is only slightly shaken.
"Alright, don't waste it." Xuanbao took the lead in announcing his abandonment, "The old monk is really powerful. ”
Li Zhuo put away the bright moon shovel and looked in the direction of Tianlong Temple: "The two of us don't have that strength yet." ”
"Yes." Xuan Bao smiled, "But it's not without gains. ”
"What's the catch?" Li Zhuo looked dazed, "Why don't I know." ”
"I'll go back and tell you, don't delay, let's go." Xuan Bao intentionally or unintentionally glanced in the direction of Qi Meitang, "I'm afraid that I've already scared the snake." ”
Before the words fell, he felt an inexplicable aura coming, and Xuan Bao quickly took out two invisibility talismans and pasted them on his own and Li Zhuo's bodies respectively.
Almost at the same time as the two of them put on the invisibility charm, a puff of black smoke quickly drifted in.
Li Zhuo was about to ask, but when he saw Xuan Bao making a silent gesture towards him, he still raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, he immediately understood, and immediately moved to hold the little doll's hand tightly.
The two of them quietly retreated with bated breath, and retreated away from the corner of the wall to the wall with a tacit understanding, and the two pairs of eyes stared at the black smoke.
The black smoke came very quickly, drifted to the bluestone slab, circled it three times, and then stayed in the air more than half a person high.
Xuan Bao and Li Zhuo stared at the black smoke calmly, but after a while, it turned into a figure, and the black and black body could not see the facial features.
The figure of the black smoke looked left and right, as if looking at something and as if waiting for something.
Xuan Bao and Li Zhuo didn't move, and they didn't even breathe at all, they had all practiced spells like Turtle Breath Gong, although they couldn't hold their breath all the time, but for an hour or two.
No anomalies were found, and the figure turned into a puff of black smoke and slowly drifted away along the way it came.
Xuan Bao took Li Zhuo's hand, and without the slightest hesitation, he raised his foot to follow the black smoke.
The two of them were careful not to follow too closely, the black smoke came at a very fast speed, but it was slow to go back, Xuan Bao and Li Zhuo tiptoed down when they saw this.
In the dead of night, the wind is gusting in the west cross courtyard, and those ghosts who rush into the west cross can't wait to come forward with the enemy, and it is conceivable that those who have done bad things tonight must be nightmares.
The black smoke seemed to have a sapient mind, and it sometimes turned into smoke and sometimes turned into a human form, looking at the ghosts, and feeling it wandering around like a slow walk.
Following this strange black smoke for a long time, when he saw it slip through the window into Xiao Liao's study behind Qi Mei Hall, Xuan Bao grabbed Li Zhuo.
Li Zhuo followed Xuanbao back and back, and the two of them waited under the tree not far from the study.
After a long while, Xuan Bao sighed softly: "Fifth uncle, that is Xiao Liao's study." ”
"Is that the study where you found the man in the painting?" Li Zhuo hadn't reacted yet, "That black smoke? ”
"It went in for a long time and didn't come out, so I must have something to do with the person in the painting." After a pause at this point, Xuan Bao continued, "Or this black smoke is hiding behind the painting. ”
"You guess?" Li Zhuo expressed skepticism.
Xuan Bao reminded: "Let's follow it all the way, can you see what this black smoke is?" ”
Li Zhuo was stunned, and he quickly reacted: "The person in the painting who hurt you at the beginning couldn't feel anything." ”
"That's right, and I think the black smoke is very similar to the breath of the person in the painting."
Something suddenly flashed in Xuanbao's mind, but she didn't catch it for a while, the little doll didn't move, her eyes focused on a certain point and didn't turn, it looked like she was trying to think.
What's going on? Could it be that Xuanbao is about to have an epiphany? Li Zhuo couldn't help but panic, the two of them sneaked into someone else's territory in the middle of the night, and it would be terrible if they were discovered.
Li Zhuo's mind turned fast, anyway, the matter of the West Cross Courtyard was like that, the sky fell and there was a tall man on top of it, he didn't believe that there was something that the old monk couldn't solve, so he put it aside for the time being.
Epiphany is an unavoidable thing, some people have lived a lifetime and can't even reach the threshold of epiphany, it is a big thing to be able to have an epiphany, Li Zhuo decided to just guard Xuanbao, I hope she can have an epiphany soon.
I think so, but the epiphany really can't say that everyone has their own comprehension ability, as long as a year and a half, or even three or five years, as short as ten days and half a month, or even instantly.
Li Zhuo quietly guarded Xuanbao and thought about whether he should find a way to take her away, at least leave the West Cross Courtyard, and he didn't know how long her invisibility charm would last, if people saw and disturbed it, it would be terrible, and the little doll would be injured or killed.
After thinking about it, Li Zhuo still had no way, and just when he was about to ask the old monk of Tianlong Temple for help, Xuanbao suddenly trembled, and she moved.
I saw that the little doll was covered by a strong light in an instant, but in a blink of an eye, the light disappeared, so fast that people doubted their own eyes.
In the Tianlong Temple, the old monk who was meditating suddenly opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the open window.
The light in the sky shone brightly and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the corners of the old monk's mouth were slightly hooked.
After clasping his hands together and reciting the Buddha in a low voice, the old monk whispered: "The old Taoist priest has accepted a good apprentice, how old is the little doll?" Will she be the chosen one? ”
Just when Li Zhuo doubted his own eyes, a small hand grabbed his forearm.
"Xuanbao, you?"
"Fifth uncle, I had an epiphany, it turns out that an epiphany is not a big deal, it is just an instant." Xuan Bao said nonchalantly.
"Advanced?" Li Zhuo asked with concern.
The little doll waved her little hand and smiled brightly: "I should be, I feel as if my whole body is full of strength." ”
"Alright, let's go." Li Zhuo's face was full of joy, "Celebrate and celebrate." ”
"No, I haven't done business yet." Xuan Bao pointed in the direction of the study, "I also figured it out just now, the smell of black smoke is the same as the person in the painting, and it is also the same as the thing at the bottom of the lake before."
Li Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "According to what you said, these two are the same thing?" ”
"Maybe it is or maybe not, but there must be a connection." Xuanbao's gaze fell on the study, "Let's go, I'll meet it when I go in." ”
"You're so good, do you need a few days off?" Li Zhuo was still a little worried.
Xuan Bao patted his chest: "Don't worry, I'm not only not uncomfortable, but I'm fine." ”
Looking at the little doll, seeing that her face was ruddy and energetic, Li Zhuo's hanging heart finally let go.
"Okay, the fifth uncle will accompany you."
When the two of them came to the door of the study, they could feel the suffocating and oppressive feeling coming from inside.
