Chapter 70: The Strange Altar
Zhu Quanlu is relatively enthusiastic, and he actually got a large pot of beast meat for Gu Xing, and the beast types in it actually reached three, this situation shows that this Zhu Quanlu is definitely a member of a big family, and his cultivation is extremely high, but he is just a guard, which also shows that the family behind him cannot be underestimated, which also shows that the identity of the little girl in the carriage is definitely not ordinary, and Gu Xing guessed in his heart that it might be a royal person, but he didn't know how sure he was, because he claimed to be surnamed Zhu.
Looking at the large pot of meat in his hand, Gu Xing subconsciously glanced at the carriage behind him, but this small action was seen by Zhu Quanlu on the side, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly, seeing that Gu Xing began to eat, he hesitated, moved his fingers, and a small wine jar appeared in his hand, and then handed it to Gu Xing's eyes: "Xiaoyou, there is a bottle of spiritual wine rewarded by the old master here, seeing that Xiaoyou's skills are good, you should be able to drink some of them." β
Gu Xing was holding a basin in one hand and a large piece of meat in the other, he was eating, hearing the words, he raised his eyes and saw Zhu Quanlu holding a small gray altar in his hand, Gu Xing had never drunk spiritual wine in this world, and he really wanted to taste what the spiritual wine in this world was like, so he hurriedly put the basin between his legs, stretched out his hand to take the wine jar, and the moment he opened the mouth of the altar, a faint aura came out, but there was no fragrance, which made Gu Xing slightly stunned, the wine has no fragrance? What is the situation, he glanced at Zhu Quanlu suspiciously, and saw that he nodded at himself, so he took a sip gently, and there was a fragrance in his mouth and nose, and he felt a ball of spiritual energy surging, and he swallowed it involuntarily, and a stream of heat went straight into the meridians, instantly giving Gu Xing a feeling that his cultivation had improved slightly, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Good wine!"
Zhu Quanlu smiled lightly: "Little friend, what's the matter, it's not bad, right?!"
Gu Xing nodded: "This kind of wine is estimated to be worth a lot of money, right?
Zhu Quanlu nodded noncommittally, and didn't say anything about how valuable it was, just smiled and said, "This altar will be given to Xiaoyou, and when we get to the town in front, we should go our separate ways." β
"Oh?!, are you where you said?" Gu Xing paused slightly, because it didn't seem to be the same as what he said before leaving. Seeing Gu Xing's expression, Zhu Quanlu understood his thoughts, and waved his hand at Gu Xing and said: "Xiaoyou misunderstood, it's just that the old man received a message, and there is a teleportation formation prepared by my master in front of him, and the teleportation array should be repaired, and the three of them can return to the capital." β
"Teleportation Array?!" Gu Xing's eyes lit up, he had seen this in many novels in his previous life, and now that he appeared in front of him, Gu Xing had the urge to find out.
Seeing Gu Xing like this, Zhu Quanlu was a little puzzled, I don't know why the little guy in front of him was so excited when he heard the teleportation array? However, after thinking about it, he seemed to understand something, "Could it be that this kid with good skills has never seen the teleportation array?" Also, how could people in this small place see it. β
Zhu Quanlu couldn't help but be a little amused: "Xiaoyou is planning to take a look at the teleportation array?" When Gu Xing heard him ask, he nodded hurriedly, as if he was afraid that the old man would not agree.
Since then, there has been nothing to say all the way, a group of people and horses have been non-stop, when the sky is dusk, I finally saw a small city in the distance, the small city in the eyes of the ancient stars, in the mouth of the local residents is just a small town, when the red sun disappeared in the air for half an hour, finally entered this town.
Everything is still in order, the town is full of people, prosperous and lively, but Gu Xing's group did not stop at all, and went straight to the center of the town, and when they arrived at the place, Gu Xing was slightly surprised, it turned out to be an ordinary bungalow complex, covering a large area, but compared to the surrounding buildings, it was a little not enough to see, which made Gu Xing puzzled.
After settling down and everyone living in this building, Gu Xing got some information from some people's discussions, this is still the former residence of a martial king powerhouse, from a few words, Gu Xing probably understands that this town seems to have something to do with Zhu Quanlu and a few people, but Gu Xing is not concerned about this, but about the legendary teleportation formation.
However, there is no chance to see it today, Zhu Quanlu gathered everyone after everyone arranged the luggage and horses, and gave these people exactly what was paid in advance, and explained that there was no need for everyone to continue to escort them to the imperial capital, and those who were willing to stay could rest here for the night, and those who had something to do could leave on their own.
Naturally, no one walks away at this time, you can live here for free for one night, if you go out, it will cost money, seeing everyone like this, Zhu Quanlu didn't say anything, and ordered the little guy to arrange a room for everyone, and directly found Gu Xing: "Xiaoyou, you live with us, and when the time comes, you can take a look at that formation." Gu Xing naturally had no opinion.
followed Zhu Quanlu to walk three courtyards, to a courtyard that looked slightly larger than other courtyards, and was arranged to a wing room, in the main room is the residence of the old woman and the little girl, and on the opposite side is Zhu Quanlu's residence, the layout here, Gu Xing can't climb a height, but the places he passes by are all courtyards and courtyards, it seems that the courtyard is set with the structure of the courtyard, and Gu Xing's mind can generally feel that this place has a structure like a beehive.
After Gu Xing was arranged to live, he didn't plan to wander around, go to bed early, recuperate his spirits, and see what the teleportation array looked like.
Time passed slowly, a few hours later, it was already late at night, Zhu Quanlu sneakily slipped out of the room, went to the back, passed through several courtyards again, and had reached the center of this bungalow, standing in front of a dark gate, calming down, and then gently knocked on the door three times and seven times, took a step back, and waited quietly.
In less than a cup of tea, a crack slowly opened in the dark door, and a somewhat deep voice came out: "The princess has arrived?"
Zhu Quanlu nodded and replied softly, "I'm already asleep." β
"Okay, what about the others?" the man asked.
"It's all arranged, and the guards will quietly leave tonight. Zhu Quanlu also responded in a low voice.
Then the door continued to open a little, Zhu Quanlu flashed in, and the door slowly closed again.
The two of them kept moving, it seemed to be slow, but in fact, they rushed to the main room at a very fast speed, the door was open, but it was pitch black inside, however, it seemed to have no effect on the two people, the person who led the way in front walked to the center of the room, with a slight force under his feet, and stomped out lightly, a slight sound came out, and then there was no sound, the ground cracked a crack, at the same time, the light of the light came out of the gap, the person jumped lightly, jumped in, Zhu Quanlu jumped down without hesitation, Zhu Quanlu just jumped in, the crack disappeared in an instant, and the surroundings were still pitch blackγ
Under the gap, there is a wide room, which is a bit inaccurate, it is an underground labyrinth, because there are more than a dozen tunnels leading to unknown places around this place, and here, there is a moonstone on all sides, and there is a sun stone on the top of the center, which shines like daylight, and Zhu Quanlu, who has good skills, is extremely groveling and slightly bent at this moment, his eyes look at an altar on the ground, and his eyes show a trace of fire.
The person who brought Zhu Quanlu in is now also revealing his figure, tall and burly, with a fierce face, especially with big and indifferent eyes, wide mouth and big ears, and a hat on his head, covering everything on his head, his face is gray, as if he has some disease, a pair of eyes flashed scarlet from time to time, but he hid it very well, glanced at Zhu Quanlu who was bent over, smiled faintly, and pointed at the strange altar on the ground: "Xiao Zhu, go up." β
And Zhu Quanlu heard the other party call him "Xiao Zhu", he didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction, but showed an excited look, trembling and stepping into the center of the altar, and then sat cross-legged, and his slightly trembling body showed his inner unpeace.
The old man saw Zhu Quanlu sitting still, then he turned around and walked towards a passage, in the blink of an eye, the old man was ten zhang away from the altar, his arm back and forth on the ground to punch a few times, and then the ground made a "poof" sound, and then, the altar space shook slightly, Zhu Quanlu subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at it, his expression was even more respectful.
"Concentrate!" The old man scolded, Zhu Quanlu couldn't help but tremble, hurriedly closed his eyes, his hands formed a meditation trick, concentrated on running the exercises, and the true qi in his body was mobilized instantly, and the old man outside the altar saw Zhu Quanlu like this, his eyes flashed red, and then raised his hand and drew a talisman in the air, a strange scene is that the old man moved empty-handed, but there were traces of red lines in the air, and gradually outlined a mysterious symbol, this symbol was formed, and there was a buzz under the altar, followed by the altar flashing red light in an instant, the old man looked at it, waved his arm, and the symbol that had just been formed was instantly punched into the altar, and the altar was at the moment when the symbol entered, A bloody breath rushed straight into the entire underground space, and a somewhat cruel smile overflowed from the corner of the old man's mouth. At the same time as the bloody aura of the altar emanated, an indiscernible and extremely subtle red thread rushed along the passage in all directions.
On the ground, a flash of fire suddenly flashed in the dark room of those people who originally lived here, which lasted less than a cup of tea, and then fell into darkness, just when the fire light was emanating, the sleeping people in the room were shrouded in firelight, and their consciousness disappeared in an instant, followed by their bodies, and all that was left behind were belongings, clothes and other things, which were extremely weird, fortunately, no one saw such a scene, otherwise, I don't know how frightened I would be.
And the guards that Zhu Quanlu said were supposed to leave at this time, but the same thing happened in his room, even the horses in the stable, they couldn't escape this fate, the only one who wasn't affected was Gu Xing, no, it can't be said to be the only one, because the old woman and the little girl were not affected, but Gu Xing's exception was because of a hint of retribution in Zhu Quanlu's heart, and he actually escaped the bad luck of dying once.
In the underground space, half an hour later, the bloody breath around the altar disappeared, and the altar also returned to its previous appearance, Zhu Quanlu, who was sitting on the altar, also woke up at this moment, with a thick surprise on his face, suddenly, waved his hand forward and grabbed it in the air, and five stars bloomed between his fingers in an instant.
"Five-star martial arts, hahaha... The secret method is really unusual, and in a short period of time, my cultivation that I have not advanced for many years has broken through five levels in a row, hahaha..."Zhu Quanlu couldn't help laughing out loud in ecstasy.
And the corner of the old man's mouth in the distance outlined a sneer: "Hmph, it's not to use you, why do I need to use the blood sacrifice method to improve your cultivation, but if you know that those guards are also blood sacrificed, I don't know if you still laugh so happily?"
