Chapter 17: Turning the Courtyard
Before, he said that he would go down the mountain after escaping from the maze, but Zuo Yanmu firmly believed that the middle of the flute was still in the maze. He wants to find the alto, to see people alive, and to see corpses when he dies.
He asked Shinoyou to lead the way, and Shinoyu turned out to be walking a familiar path, unaffected by the maze in the slightest. He couldn't help but suspect that this formation might have been arranged by Xiaoyou.
"Xiaoyou, have you ever learned the formation?" asked Zuo Yanmu as he looked around on guard.
"Learned a little. "Shinoyu checks the traces on the big tree, and if the flute alto has come, there may be a mark on the tree.
"Take this formation as an example, do you think it's complicated?" asked Zuo Yanmu tentatively.
"It's simple. It is to switch positions according to the symmetry of the center. "Shinoyu said it very easily.
Zuo Yanmu didn't know what Xiaoyou meant, so he didn't ask anymore, so as not to expose his stupidity. In terms of formation, he really doesn't know anything.
I didn't answer when I asked the fox fairy, if the fox fairy didn't understand, Zuo Yanmu must not understand. Zuo Yanmu has always learned from the fox fairy, he thought that the fox fairy could do anything, but today he is helpless, it seems that there is still a lot to learn. Zuo Yanmu knew that he had too little experience and knew too little, so he secretly made up his mind that he would practice hard when he arrived in Fuyun Mountain.
"Found it!" Shinyu noticed the remnants of aura on the tree.
Zuo Yanmu came to see but couldn't see anything, and he suddenly felt that Xiaoyou's strength was unfathomable.
"This is left behind by the demon beast, and it is chasing its prey. Shinyu looked at the other trees.
Based on the scratches and impact cracks, as well as the footprints on the ground, Shinoyu determined a direction. She ran in that direction with Zuo Yanmu.
If you want to find the flute alto, you must first find the demon beast, maybe the prey of the demon beast is the flute alto. I don't want to, but it's possible.
After running for two miles, you can hear the clanging of swords. Zuo Yanmu thought it was someone fighting, but when he ran closer, he found that it was Li Hanzhong's battle with the leopard cat monster.
Listening to the fox fairy say that the demon beast has the strength of the law path, then Li Hanzhong will definitely die. Zuo Yanmu didn't want to help, Li Hanzhong's trip must be aimed at himself.
I saw the demon beast pounce on Li Hanzhong, waving its claws, colliding with the blade, and making a piercing sound. I didn't expect the claws of the demon beast to be so hard.
Li Hanzhong caught a glimpse of the left smoke wood and deliberately led the demon beast in the direction of the left smoke wood.
Shinyu realizes the danger and quickly asks if it is Zuo Yanmu's friend.
"He's here to kill me. Zuo Yanmu saw that Li Hanzhong was coming this way, and ran away with Xiaoyou.
The demon beast also found Zuo Yanmu, but it was Li Hanzhong who was closer, and it must catch Li Hanzhong first.
Jumping twice, the demon beast grabbed Li Hanzhong, easily tore his belly, and the bloody two rows of fangs bit Li Hanzhong's head. This is similar to the death of Jin Shi, first disemboweled, listen to the screams, and then officially eat.
When Zuo Yanmu and Shinoyu heard the screams, they couldn't run steadily. Left Smokewood didn't stand on one foot and fell to the ground with a sprain.
Xiao Yu is calmer than Zuo Yanmu, because she has a flower snake and has won several battles before, and she believes in the strength of the flower snake.
She turned back, ready to take on the monster. Zuo Yanmu called Xiaoyou and asked her to protect the Dharma for herself, and then hurried to heal her injuries.
Since he didn't run far, the roar of the demon beast could still be heard. Shinoyu is guarding the left smokewood, and the flower snake is wrapped around Shinoyu's hand, ready to fight at any time.
After a long time, Zuo Yanmu's leg injury recovered, and the demon beast had already come to him. Of course, one person can't eat enough, and the demon beast starts to drool when he sees Zuo Yanmu and Xiaoyou.
Zuo Yanmu hurriedly asked the fox fairy master Xiaoyou's strength. The fox fairy said that Xiaoyou did not have an aura on his body, so he was not a monk at all. If there is no flower snake, Shinoyu is a mortal and can be easily eaten.
Zuo Yanmu must be responsible, and he must protect Xiaoyu. As soon as he saw the tall demon beast, his legs went limp. He didn't want to go toe-to-toe with monsters. He doesn't want to be a warrior either, and it's certainly best if he can conquer the monsters in front of him with his wit.
"Hey!" Zuo Yanmu shouted.
When the demon beast heard Zuo Yanmu's voice, it also responded, but it was just a wild roar, which made Zuo Yanmu drool.
"Let's make a deal, you wait here, I'll go down the mountain and bring more people up for you to eat." "Zuo Yanmu wants to deceive the demon beast.
He didn't know, the demon beast couldn't understand human speech, and was about to say something more, when the demon beast opened its mouth and came. The demon beast wants to swallow the left smoke wood in one gulp, and the bones will not be spit out.
At this moment, a red light swept by, and the head of the demon beast was pierced by the bamboo sword. The behemoth fell in front of Zuo Yanmu, bleeding all over the place.
It's the alto!
"What were you doing?" asked the alto with a frown.
"I, I just made a fool. Zuo Yanmu smiled awkwardly.
"Luckily, I was quick, if it reacted and I missed, we ...... All three have to die. The flute alto noticed Xiao Yu and motioned to Zuo Yanmu to introduce it.
"Oh, her name is Shinoyu, and she's my child...... Companion. He is a flute alto. Left Yanmu introduces Shinoyu and Flute Alto to each other.
"What a lovely girl. The flute alto walked up to Xiao Yu and praised him without hesitation.
Zuo Yanmu was surprised, if he was embarrassed to speak, the flute alto said it so easily.
"Thank you. Shinyu bowed shyly.
"Okay, the demon beasts here are all dead, let's go to Fuyun Mountain. "The left smoke wood is inserted between the flute alto and Shinoyu, and the Shinoyou is protected behind him.
The flute immediately understood, and went to the side to pretend to check if there was any danger around, but there was no danger so far.
In fact, they were not safe, and the previous roar attracted other monsters. Immediately after that, there was a roar from all directions, and it sounded like there were more than a dozen.
"Hurry up!" Zuo Yanmu pulled the flute alto and Xiao You fled away.
Zuo Yanmu remembered the way he came, and when he came out of the underground again, the three of them had already appeared outside the maze.
"Brother Mu is amazing, you saved us. Xiaoyou hugged the left smokewood, and the flute alto quickly covered his eyes when he saw it.
Zuo Yanmu was also embarrassed, and quickly pushed Xiaoyou away.
At this time, the flute notes the carcass of the ocelot monster not far away.
"Is this just what you can kill?" said the middle notes with a look of disbelief.
"Hmm. "Shino's head.
"To be exact, her pet killed it. Zuo Yanmu glanced at Shinoyu's sleeve.
The flute alto pondered for a moment and pulled the left smoke wood aside.
"How did you know him?" asked the alto.
"She saved me, and then said that she would make a promise...... I don't know very well. Zuo Yanmu smiled bitterly.
"No kidding. The alto has a serious expression.
"I'm not kidding, otherwise how do you think this monster beast died?" Zuo Yanmu spread his hands.
"Are you going to take her to Fuyun Mountain?" asked the flute.
"Of course, we are companions. Zuo Yanmu noticed that the flute's alto look was not quite right.
"She may be from another sect, and the pet you are talking about is actually summoned by her. It's not easy to be a summoner. "The flute alto warns Zuo Yanmu not to lie.
"I know, take her with you, I'll take it all by myself. Zuo Yanmu smiled at Shinoyu.
"Well, I hope there won't be any disputes between sects. "The middle of the flute can't beat the left smokewood.
"What about the village under the mountain?" Zuo Yanmu sighed considering that there were so many demon beasts in Dasong Mountain, and he couldn't beat them.
"Go back to Fuyun Mountain first. Di Zhongyin frowned, blaming himself for not being able to help the villagers.
Fuyun Mountain.
The clouds and mist are shrouded, the aura is abundant, and the white-clothed disciples can be seen flying everywhere.
The mountain is cool in the morning and warm in the afternoon, with countless strange flowers and plants, and there are more large and small spirit beasts jumping up and down.
When Zuo Yanmu first arrived here, he thought it was heaven. Seeing that Xiaoyou's reaction was not too strong, I thought Xiaoyou was stunned.
"Have you never seen a place like this before?" asked Xiao Yu.
"Well, it's beautiful here. Xiao Yu stretched out his hand, and a cloud fell on his hand.
Zuo Yanmu is wondering, where did the clouds come from, looking around, there are a lot of them. Even though I climbed a very high mountain, it didn't form a small cloud and mist.
Looking behind you, there are endless steps. Zuo Yanmu didn't even notice that he had walked so far, and he did feel tired during the period, so it was much better to walk with the help of aura.
Master Fox Fairy said that Xiaoyou has no aura in her body, why doesn't she get tired after climbing the mountain for so long?
"Are you tired?" Zuo Yanmu leaned into Xiaoyou's ear.
"I'm not tired. "Shinoyu is still playing with the clouds.
Zuo Yanmu is inconvenient to ask more, so he has questions, and he will ask when the day is appropriate.
It was boring to keep climbing the steps, and Zuo Yanmu felt that he would never be able to walk to the end, and wanted to use flying magic to fly up in one breath, but the flute alto did not allow it, saying that newcomers could not use spells.
Two hours later, Zuo Yanmu saw the first mountain gate, and after going through the cumbersome procedures, Zuo Yanmu was finally able to enter the Yuanshen Sect.
He and Shinoyu were arranged to rest in the Turnaround Courtyard, which was a very large, so to speak, endless residence. It is said that the turnaround courtyard can accommodate a million people, because there is a prohibition here, the courtyard space can be stacked on top of each other, and the space has been used many times.
It wasn't a sealing technique, it was a formation.
The courtyard is divided into men and women, no matter how old they are and how intimate they are, they must be separated on long steps, with men on the left and women on the right. Take the path on the left and take the path on the right.
Because the courtyard is large, it is spacious for one person and one room.
Zuo Yanmu chose room No. 1 by himself, and it was easy to find.
There is someone in charge of the key under the big tree not far from the courtyard, and you can just change the key with a wooden card. Then the first room is the first room after entering the courtyard, which is very convenient. But he couldn't understand why he could choose room No. 1 when he was late?
Xiao You also chose a room No. 1, there are fewer female disciples than male disciples, and it is easy to say that there are extra houses in the courtyard over there.
Something was wrong, Zuo Yanmu hurriedly ran to ask the person in charge of the key under the big tree.
"May I ask Senior Brother, can I ask a question?" Zuo Yanmu saw that he was not busy, so he spoke.
"No, you can't. "The person in charge of the key didn't look at the left smokewood.
This made Zuo Yanmu very angry.
"Aren't you free now?Why can't you answer me?Is this how you treat the new disciple?" Zuo Yanmu pointed to his nose and scolded.
