Chapter 40: Blood Drops and Jin Wuwei
Li Daoyuan pinched the trick with one hand, and there were words in his mouth, and a slender black smoke suddenly came out of his hand, and it suddenly got into the body of the hunchbacked old man, and before the hunchbacked old man asked, Li Daoyuan explained, "This is the spirit guide, no matter where you are in the future, I will know the specific direction, so that you can go with confidence."
Next, the hunchbacked old man only obediently pretended to be a beggar, and Li Daoyuan sat in the inn all day long, but there was a small black mirror in front of him, which was a magic weapon that could cooperate with the magic of the soul attraction, and a black dot could be seen moving rapidly in the mirror, but the black dot suddenly disappeared completely in the direction of the palace.

"The fish is finally hooked, but I have to prepare," Li Daoyuan sat in the room and looked down and thought about it.
On the other side, in an underground corridor, a torch is burning on the wall every few tens of meters. At this moment two masked night men were carrying a burlap bag as fast as they came, and when they came to a circular hall, they threw the sack on their shoulders to the ground, and when they saw it, they retreated the way they came.
This rotunda is thirty or forty zhang wide, dozens of meters deep underground, surrounded by black stone walls on all sides, and dozens of upside-down corpses are hanging on the dome of the hall. Directly below the corpse was a deep pit that could not be reached out, from which gusts of wind blew from time to time. The surrounding walls were empty except for torches for lighting.
It wasn't long before the burlap bag suddenly rolled on the ground a few times, and out of it came a man who looked around with a thief's eyebrows, only to hear a sound of footsteps coming from the dark hallway.
The hunchbacked old man was staring nervously into the corridor at this time.
"How about you," said a surprised young voice.
The hunchbacked old man was also greatly relieved when he heard this voice, "Master, they refused to take the bait easily, and asked me to sneak in here to find out the news."
A young man who walked out of the corridor turned out to be the owner of the hunchbacked old man's mouth. The young man was dressed in a colorful outfit, and strangely he had yellow hair that was casually draped over his shoulders.
"It's okay if you don't come, we can go to him," the young man said nonchalantly.
"The old slave's corrosive poison," the hunchbacked old man asked with a blank eye
The young man turned around and threw a green pill to the hunchbacked old man with his backhand, and the old man took it with great joy, but before the old man could thank the young man and said, "This pill can only cure your corrosive poison for a month, which is your reward for this matter, as long as you are obedient in the future, I will give you the antidote every month."
Seeing this, the hunchbacked old man's face sank, his eyes flashed with murderous intent but he still thanked him, if it wasn't for the old man's carelessness when he fell into this poison, then there is now a wagging tail and begging for mercy, but the hunchbacked old man is not without countermeasures.
As if he had made up his mind, the hunchbacked old man quickly followed the young man in front of him and said, "The old slave still has something to do."
Without waiting for the young man to turn around, the hunchbacked old man jerked on the back with one hand, and with great speed, he put an object on the young man's head, and with a sharp pull, the young man's head was divided into two parts. The young man's protective aura had no effect on the object.
The hunchbacked old man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but the young man was too careless, which gave him a chance to succeed.
At this time, the hunchbacked old man still looked a little hunchbacked. The old man put away the sharp weapon that was still dripping blood, this thing was the size of a gong, but it was much deeper than the gong, and it contained six handleless cold and shining blades, which could be rotated inward or outward through the mechanism. There was a three-meter-long black rope in the middle of the blood droplet, and just now it was the old man who threw this thing, which killed the young man.
The hunchbacked old man put away the blood droplets, wiped them, and put them into the rickety waist behind his back and became a hunchback again.
"Next is that little ghost," the hunchbacked old man smirked, put away the young man's storage bag, and strode out of the underground chamber.
When the hunchbacked old man walked with a pillar of incense, a pale black ball of light floated out from the headless corpse, and in a few breaths it floated into the huge pit in the rotunda. A roar echoed through the rotunda, but after a few minutes it was silent.
At this time, Li Daoyuan was sitting in the inn looking at the small mirror in front of him, and he didn't know anything about what was happening in the palace.
"Why is he back? Is it easier than I imagined, but there should be no less preparation," Li Daoyuan said to himself as he sat cross-legged alone.
As soon as a pillar of incense was held, Li Daoyuan heard a knock on the door
"Come in, the door is not locked," Li Daoyuan said lightly.
The hunchbacked old man said yes outside the door and entered Li Daoyuan's room, and saw that Li Daoyuan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and the hunchbacked old man felt a little more sure of himself.
"It seems that this trip is going well," Li Daoyuan looked at the hunchbacked old man with a smile.
"I have found out, the beggars captured by the palace are all used for blood sacrifice, I admit that I sneaked out when there was no one, but I found a thing I don't know what it is, please ask the Taoist to check it," the hunchbacked old man said and took out an embroidered sachet from his arms.
"Oh. I'll take a look," Li Daoyuan said, but didn't take the sachet with his hand.
The hunchbacked old man had no choice but to step forward and put the embroidered sachet in front of Li Daoyuan, and then hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Why are you retreating so far away?" asked Li Daoyuan curiously.
Who knew that the old man didn't answer and said with a cruel smile, "Violence"
All of a sudden, Li Daoyuan was wrapped in a white thunderball of electric light, and there was a loud thunder on the ground in just one breath, and Li Daoyuan and the bed under him were shattered, and only a layer of fly ash was left in place.
"Hahaha, you also want to control me, taste the power of the spring thunder made by Jinwuwei" The hunchbacked old man laughed proudly.
"This thing, ** thunder, the power is really extraordinary, and it can also block the detection of divine sense" A chuckle came from behind the screen in the room, and the hunchbacked old man saw that Li Daoyuan and Chen Daoming were shocked and couldn't say anything.
"I just said that this person can't be trusted, you see I said it," Chen Daoming said with a smug face.
"Senior brother has helped me a lot this time" Li Daoyuan raised one hand, and a yellow rope flew out of his hand, and the hunchbacked old man was trapped in a flash. Senior brother, you go to the door to block it, I still have some things to ask him."
