Chapter 204: Woe

Tianchi Mountain belongs to the Five Poison Sect.

All the resources registered in the entire Montenegrin territory belong to the Five Poisons.

It's just that the Five Poison Sect has distributed these cultivation resources to the major immortal cultivation families, and they only need to pay half of the tax burden to obtain the right to use these resources.

The custodian family of Tianchi Mountain, I don't know how many generations have changed, every three or four hundred years, there will be a new family in charge here, so this cave, this stone chamber does not know who built it.

From the feng shui compass, it is shown that this stone chamber is very close to the fork of the earth-fire magma, which can be said to be close at hand.

Li Shuidao stared at the stone wall close to the earthfire magma, and only felt that he was told that there was a problem here.

It's easy to verify!

I saw Li Shuidao put away the feng shui compass, and the spiritual light in his hand shot out, and the array hit the wall without any response.

He didn't give up, and adjusted the trick in his hand again.

As his fingers danced, the aura flowed like flowing water, and one after another swayed out, striking the wall with a faint aura.

Li Shuidao sneered at the corner of his mouth, it seems that his intuition is really right!

Suddenly.

Eight formations appeared out of thin air in the stone chamber.

Sure enough, it's still a gossip formation, and everything is the same!

As the formation pattern disappeared, a gossip lock appeared on the empty stone wall.

The eight formations just now were just bullying monks who didn't understand the formation, and this one gossip lock was dealing with all the monks who were proficient in the formation.

"Gossip Lock!"

"There's actually a gossip lock here!?" Li Shuidao's face was full of shock.

The gossip lock in front of him was almost exactly the same as the one hidden in the ancestral hall of the Li family, and it was even more ancient and complicated.

If you want to open the Bagua lock, you must know the key to open, even if you know the key, every time you turn the lock disk is a different position, which needs to be calculated according to the hour.

If you forcibly rely on the formation cultivation or directly break the door violently without knowing the key, there will be a powerful trapped formation, trapping the intruder in the formation, and at the same time shooting out a sky-high red light, telling everyone that someone here is "opening treasure".

Under normal circumstances, this Bagua Lock itself is a heavy treasure worth thousands of spirit stones.

What can be guarded with heavy treasures must be worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones.

After all, the safe doesn't hold stones, so at least it has to hold gold bars.

Li Shuidao licked the corners of his mouth, and his eyes showed excitement.

At this moment, Li Shuidao's ears moved slightly, and he heard the sound of someone jumping into the cave.

This voice is very weak, obviously the man is very restrained, but unfortunately he can't cultivate when he is older.

Li Shuidao did not hesitate, and quickly cast the spell, the aura flickered, and the scene in the cave began to change.

The phantom array of the stone chamber was activated again and restored to its original appearance, the surrounding strength was empty, and the gossip lock disappeared.

"Lord of the Castle?" The visitor couldn't see it clearly, but he found Li Shuidao's back, so he asked tentatively.

"It's me." Li Shuidao replied in a low voice.

"Lord Castle, are you alright?" Deacon Li Haochang asked with concern.

The corner of Li Shuidao's mouth sneered: The concern is fake, what I am really worried about is that I secretly obtained the treasure, it is true!

"I'm fine." Li Shuidao replied flatly.

"Here?" Li Haochang asked curiously.

"If I'm right, this was once supposed to be a secret treasure spot, but now it's empty and all the treasures have been removed." Li Shuidao sighed and said.

Li Haochang also showed a look of disappointment, he looked at it unwillingly, but the four stone walls here were empty, and there was really nothing.

Li Shuidao quietly waited for the black-clothed deacon to finish his investigation, and then said, "Let's go, go out and fill up this place." ”

"Okay." Li Hao let out a long sigh and silently followed behind Li Shuidao, leaving the empty stone room together.

……

The afternoon sun shone through the curtains on Zhu Hongling's face, and she lay on the soft bed, the bulge of her pregnancy making her feel a little inconvenienced. She was immersed in sleep, and in a hazy mood, she listened to the whispered call of the maid in the distance.

"Madame...... The lord of the castle and his wife have come to see you. ”

As the maid's call gradually came into her ears, Zhu Hongling slowly opened her eyes, and it was hazy......

She saw Li Shuidao and Xia Ruoxue walking in together, their figures blurring in the sunlight.

When the eyes focused on the two of them thoroughly, some strange memories that had been sealed in the dust came to my heart like a tide.

How can you have such a dream?

In the dream, she and Xia Ruoxue served the castle lord together.

In a dream......

The lord of the castle called her "Thin Dog".

Zhu Hongling shook his head and found that this memory did not seem to come from a dream, it was really as deeply rooted as reality.

The incomprehensible interspersed memories made Zhu Hongling gasp for breath, and his face was covered with sweat.

She tried to take a deep breath, trying to calm the panic inside.

Li Shuidao approached her and asked her about her situation with concern, his voice gentle and soothing.

Zhu Hongling felt his care, gradually calmed down her breath, and regained her breath.

However, when she looked into Li Shuidao's eyes, she felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

Li Shuidao's eyes were deep and mysterious, which made her feel a trace of horror.

She looked at Xia Ruoxue again, and Xia Ruoxue's eyes seemed to hide some kind of unpredictable fierce light, which made her feel an inexplicable fear.

"I ...... I'm fine, it's just a nightmare. Zhu Hongling squeezed out a smile, she didn't dare to look up at Xia Ruoxue at all, she was obedient like a sheep.

After a brief exchange between the three of them......

Li Shuidao and Xia Ruoxue left.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Zhu Hongling breathed a sigh of relief, she covered her stomach, and after a long time, she said two words: "No wonder ......"

……

Li Shuidao and Xia Ruoxue returned to the secret room of the stone building together.

The figures of the two appeared deep and mysterious in the faint candlelight.

"You've been out for so long this time, what's going on?" Li Shuidao asked in a low voice, a trace of worry revealed between his eyebrows.

Xia Ruoxue's eyes flashed with excitement, and she replied, "I attacked a caravan. “

Li Shuidao turned his head and asked solemnly, "After you did it, did you leave any traces?" “

Xia Ruoxue showed a cold smile and replied, "I killed them all, and I didn't leave any of them." ”

"Turned to ashes?"

"It's all turned to ashes, and it's all clean."

"Where's the cargo?" Li Shuidao narrowed his eyes and asked with concern.

Xia Ruoxue frowned and replied, "I don't know those goods, it's just an ore." I left them where they were and didn't take any of them with me. ”

"Don't want those goods, it's the biggest flaw!" Li Shuidao sat on the mahogany chair and said with a faint gaze.

"If you take those goods, even if you leave traces of demonic skills, others will only think that it is a poisonous cultivator who kills people and grabs treasures in the name of demonic cultivation, but you only kill people and do not take goods, even if you don't leave any traces of demonic skills, others will suspect that you are killing people for the sake of cultivating evil skills." Li Shuidao explained slowly.

"Husband, those stones are so heavy and so heavy that I can't carry them away at all, even if I push them into the valley, I just want to cover them." Xia Ruoxue explained.

Li Shuidao was silent for a moment, and then said with a solemn face: "The safest way is not to kill people, kill demon beasts for blood food." ”

"Husband, I also thought about killing demon beasts for blood food, but the demon beasts on this mountain are too difficult to find, I don't know how many mountains I have searched and there is no trace of a demon beast, only by killing people can I easily get blood food." The corners of Xia Ruoxue's mouth hooked up an indifferent smile.

Li Shuidao's expression became serious, and he warned, "If you continue like this, you will get into trouble sooner or later." “

Xia Ruoxue stuck out her tongue and said softly: "I will be careful, I will not go out to act again during this time." “

Li Shuidao looked at Xia Ruoxue, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It's just right for you to come back and help me erase a person's memory." “

Xia Ruoxue nodded, and then said solemnly: "Husband...... The Transmogrification Ecstasy spell can temporarily erase the memories of those who have cultivated to a low level, but the effect is only temporary. Zhu Hongling seemed to have regained her memory, but she didn't dare to say it. ”

"It's okay, just erase it for the time being, and I'll deal with the rest of the matter." Li Shuidao said with a leisurely gaze.

"The concubine obeys her husband's edict." Xia Ruoxue saluted with a well-behaved face.

Night......

After a long day of hard work, Li Haochang, the construction deacon, still can't rest.

He wants to record today's work in the thin of the day.

For a person like him, a good memory is better than a bad pen, and he must carefully note down the progress of his work every day.

The framework of the kiln has been completed, and at the current pace, it will only take another seven days at most to complete the construction of the kiln.

Near the kiln, the castle owner found the entrance to an underground chamber and built a small house above it, the key of which was kept by the castle owner himself.

Li Haochang drew a striking red circle on the drawing to remind himself not to forget this important matter.

The area framed by the red circle is the mysterious secret room.

It stands to reason that this newly discovered secret room should be reported to the family, but Li Haochang does not know whether Li Shuidao has already reported it.

He can't skip the level and report, so he can only wait for the family to send someone to check.

In three days, the family elder Li Hailong will lead a caravan to transport ore, if the castle lord takes Li Hailong to see the secret room, it means that Li Shuidao has already reported with the Far Crossing Flying Crow; But if no one comes to check, it means that Li Shuidao has concealed the matter, and then Li Haochang will consider reporting it to the next level.

After all, if there is really a treasure, even if he can't get it, he can't let the family miss it.

Li Haochang always felt that the secret room was not simple.

Suddenly.

There was a thick gray mist in the room, Li Haochang didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he saw this gray mist, he had already inhaled it into his nasal cavity, and he was suddenly dizzy and unconscious.

The door slowly opened, and Li Shuidao and Xia Ruoxue walked into the room.

I saw Xia Ruoxue wave her hand, and a soft force sent Li Haochang to the bed.

Her gestures are skillful and precise, showcasing her great skill in mastering power.

At the same time, Li Shuidao sat at his desk, reading intently on the contents of the day.

Xia Ruoxue stood aside, carefully holding the lamp to provide light to Li Shuidao.

Li Shuidao carefully studied the records on the day, reading every word carefully.

After reading it, he did not hesitate to tear off a page of paper, and then put the map with the red circle on the desk into his arms.

"That's it." Li Shuidao said.

A red light flashed in Xia Ruoxue's pupils: "Husband, are you really not going to kill?" ”

"Don't kill! It's even more troublesome to kill. ”

Xia Ruoxue stuck out her tongue, and a flash of disappointment flashed in her scarlet eyes.

The two took advantage of the night to leave quietly......

……

The top of the stone building.

Li Shuidao put a jade pill into his mouth. The warm medicinal power suddenly spread, and he felt the true qi in his body begin to operate, fusing with the medicinal power of Yuheng Dan.

He began to cultivate the Immortal Toad Qi......

Soon the moonlight condensed into a beam and landed on him, continuing to sublimate his mana......

Beside him, a jade toad squatted, its body flashing with a faint light, as if it was resonating with Li Shuidao.

Not far away, a blackbird hovered in the air, its pupils bright and sharp, watching it all.

After the cultivation is over......

Li Shuidao returned to the study below from the top of the stone building.

His bedroom was next to the study.

Xia Ruoxue was practicing magic skills in the bedroom, and the black qi swirled around her body, exuding a gloomy and cold aura.

There was a cloud of blood suspended between her hands, and the blood flowed slowly between her palms, as if she was refining it......

This was exactly what she had gotten by killing outside, and the smell of blood filled the room, making people feel a chill.

Li Shuidao stared at Xia Ruoxue, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Xia Ruoxue must not be allowed to continue killing, otherwise it will cause trouble sooner or later......
