Chapter 8: The Mysterious Cave
Although he was puzzled, he couldn't speak, and Xu You could only follow Lu Ping.
What he never expected was that this trip would take five days.
During the five days, apart from eating and replenishing water, Lu Ping rarely spoke. But when he was resting, he taught Xu You the magic of the gods.
There is no reason why Xu You is taught, but because Xu You is too slow.
However, when he saw that Xu You had mastered Shenxing in just a few hours, although Lu Ping did not speak, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes.
Although the Divine Movement Technique is the most basic spiritual technique, even if the talent is good, it will take at least two or three days to master it thoroughly.
This young man's talent is simply surprisingly high.
Xu You hadn't compared the speed of spiritual cultivation with others, so he didn't feel anything. However, he had seen Lu Xinyan perform the Divine Movement Technique, and he was very shocked at the time, so he was extremely interested in this kind of divine power.
It's a pity that Lu Ping never taught him other spiritual arts.
After learning to do the gods, Lu Ping unlocked Xu You's partially closed spiritual power, and the speed of the two of them was much faster.
Five days later, the two rushed to a deserted mountain forest hundreds of miles away.
This place is already far away from the Lu family, and Lu Ping brought him here for another purpose.
Xu You was calm on the surface, as if he had accepted his fate, but secretly he kept cultivating the Spirit Sense Thorn. He didn't know what Lu Dao Lu Ping wanted to do, but it was impossible to do him any good, so he had to do everything possible to improve his strength and find a chance to escape.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Xu You will not give up.
Soon, the two walked into the depths of the mountain forest, although it was a scorching day, but the mountain forest trees were tall, the branches and leaves were dense, and there was very little light through, and there was a rather eerie feeling.
After coming to a clearing on the mountainside, Lu Ping stopped.
Xu You was suddenly stunned, and he saw four people standing side by side under the big tree in front of him.
Except for the fact that these four people are not very old, they are all ragged, with yellow and thin faces, expressionless faces, and straight eyes.
Seeing Lu Ping and Xu You coming, the four of them didn't react at all, just like four sculptures, still standing still.
Xu You's heart was furious, he could naturally see that these four people were breathing and heartbeat, and they were definitely not dead bodies, but they didn't know why they would become like this.
Lu Ping sat on a flat rock, beckoned, and the four young men walked over.
Lu Ping looked at their eyes, and then poked his fingers on the chests of the four people one by one, as if confirming something. After a while, seeing that the four of them did not look out of the slightest, he stopped his strange movements.
Then he took out the medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a cyan pill, and threw it to Xu You: "Eat it." ”
Xu You took the cyan pill, suddenly understood something, pointed to the four young people with blank expressions and asked, "After eating this pill, will I become like them?"
"Yes. Lu Ping looked at the young man indifferently, as if he wanted to see how he reacted next.
But Xu You didn't react at all, but swallowed the pill in one gulp.
The young man's actions surprised Lu Ping a little: "I thought you would throw it away." ”
"If I throw it away, I will definitely end badly, and I will still be forced to obey by you. Xu You said calmly.
Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile: "Xu You, you are really a smart person, it's a pity......"
He didn't continue, but turned around with his hands behind his back, looking at the depths of the mountain forest and slightly distracted, a complicated expression suddenly appeared on his face, excited and expectant.
Xu You looked at Lu Ping's back and unconsciously clenched his fists, but there was no movement, just a trace of imperceptible light flashed in his eyes.
Lu Ping showed a faint smile, although his back was towards Xu You, he knew all about Xu You's movements.
There has been no resistance, which means that this young man is very smart and rational, and he knows that resisting is a dead end, but it is more likely to be desperate.
He turned, beckoned, and the four unconscious young men automatically followed him. Then he asked Xu You to follow behind and march towards the mountains and forests he was looking at just now.
Xu You was walking while running the Spirit Technique. After taking the cyan pill, he felt that his consciousness was a little blurry, and he knew that something was wrong, so he used his spiritual power to stimulate his mind, trying to keep himself awake.
But after only a few moments, consciousness became more and more blurred, and a strong sleepiness came up, and I just wanted to fall asleep. The strange thing is that the body is still involuntarily walking with the person in front of him.
Xu You was startled, and bit his tongue violently, and the severe pain made him sober up a little. But it didn't take long for the feeling of lethargy to return, and it became heavier.
He was constantly operating his limited spiritual power, clashing back and forth in his meridians, trying to use the pain to keep him conscious. But even so, I couldn't suppress the feeling of drowsiness that grew stronger and stronger.
Seeing that he was about to lose consciousness, Xu You's heart was crossed, and he bit the tip of his tongue fiercely.
Taking advantage of the brief lucidity brought by the pain, he quickly reached into his arms, took out the elixir that he had obtained with great difficulty, and swallowed it as fast as he could.
As soon as he did all this, Xu You didn't know anything.
After a while, the team stopped, Lu Ping turned around, walked in front of Xu You, looked at the young man's face that had become blank, and showed a faint smile.
He looked at Xu You's empty eyes, stretched out his fingers, and poked out a trace of spiritual power, poking it at the young man's chest.
This spiritual power will turn into a thin needle and pierce into the flesh, causing severe pain. If Xu You pretended to be lost, he would inevitably react to the pain, and even the slightest change would not be able to hide it from Lu Ping's eyes.
Xu You remained motionless, always maintaining a blank expression, and didn't seem to feel the slightest pain.
Lu Ping was completely relieved, turned around and walked to the front of the team, and walked forward with five people.
Half an hour later, Lu Ping walked through the mountain forest and led the five people to a cave.
The cave was crude, only half a man tall and less than half a meter wide, making it look very cramped. The entrance to the cave was blocked by a rock for most of the time, revealing only a fist-sized gap, and there was a black hole inside, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.
Lu Ping asked the two young men to step forward and move away from the rocks, and then began to perform spiritual magic.
The speed at which he cast his spiritual magic was much faster than Chang Shan's, and in an instant, a fireball the size of a human head shot out of his hand, slamming into the hole with an astonishing sound.
Although the cave is made of rock, it will still collapse if it is smashed.
But unexpectedly, a ripple of air suddenly appeared in front of the cave entrance, which blocked the fireball.
With a boom, the fireball seemed to smash into the invisible and hard barrier, and burst open, turning into countless sparks flying in all directions.
The narrow mouth of the cave was undamaged.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ping's face did not change at all, as if it was expected.
He continued to cast his magic spells, unleashing fireballs to attack the invisible barrier at the entrance of the cave.
Fireballs burst out of his hand and slammed into the cave with a loud bang.
Under the continuous attack, the air ripples that bloomed from the invisible barrier continued to spread, becoming more and more rapid.
Finally, with a bang, the invisible barrier reached the limit of resistance and burst open.
The scene in front of me changed in an instant, and the mouth of the cave, which was originally small and inconspicuous, suddenly became a neat portal that was three meters high and five meters wide.
The heavy stone door opened wide, revealing a deep and dimly lit passageway.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ping's face suddenly showed a trace of excitement, but then it turned into caution.
He drove Xu You and the five mermaids into the portal, walked behind the most, and deliberately kept a distance.
This passage is about a dozen zhang long, and it makes a few turns halfway. Although the walls of the passage flickered from time to time, making Lu Ping look very nervous, there was no danger.
At the end of the passage is a wall that is wide and has an iron door in the middle. In the middle of the iron door was engraved a strange glittering rune, but it was a little dim.
Lu Ping retreated into the passage with the four young men, and then asked the leading young man to step forward and push the iron door.
As soon as the young man pressed his hands against the iron door, the runes flashed violently, and a blinding lightning bolt suddenly shot out of the door, clicking, piercing his chest.
The young man was covered in green smoke, raised his charred arms, and fell down on his back, motionless, and had already died.
Lu Ping's face turned a little pale, but seeing that the runes on the iron gate became a little darker, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he asked the second young man to go up and push the iron door again.
The runes flickered again, sending out dozens of golden thorns like crossbows, easily shooting the second young man into a sieve.
This golden thorn is extremely fast, and it can be ejected repeatedly when it touches the stone wall, fortunately, Lu Ping and the others retreated far into the passage, otherwise they would be caught off guard, and I am afraid that they would also hate the spot.
Seeing this, Lu Ping couldn't help but retreat further, and drove the third and fourth young men up. As a result, both of them were killed by the attack sent by the runes without any suspense.
However, after several consumptions, the runes also became very dim, and by the time the fourth young man was killed, the light could no longer be continuous, only faintly flickering, as if it could be extinguished at any time.
Seeing that victory was in sight, Lu Ping's face was even more expectant, and he urged Xu You to step forward without hesitation.
Xu You walked to the iron door calmly, pushed it with both hands, and the iron door suddenly opened, revealing the spacious secret room inside.
The dim rune burst out after the darkest of the time, turning into a blazing flame that instantly burned all over him.
Xu You staggered back, although he didn't suffer much impact, but the high temperature of the flames was not something he could resist, he just instinctively struggled a few times, and then convulsed and lay on the ground.
