Chapter 69

There was no stalactite hanging upside down on the top of the middle stone room, but some kind of aura that made Xia Daoming feel very comfortable faintly escaped from the four walls.

The stone room was clearly the place where the demonic Daoist meditated and practiced.

Inside, apart from a stone bed, there was a bookshelf excavated from the stone wall.

However, apart from some secular anecdotes and reading materials, there were no books on the bookshelf.

Obviously, the important books related to cultivation were all taken away by the demonic Daoist.

Xia Daoming took Liu Liu Qiaolian and left the middle stone room with some disappointment, turning to the last stone room.

The curtain of this stone room was obviously much denser.

Lifting the curtain, a fishy smell rushed toward them, and it was very dark inside.

On the stone wall facing the entrance of the stone room, a small altar was built.

A pitch-black gourd was placed on the altar, with a small black banner inserted inside the gourd, embroidered with many strange talismans.

In front of the altar was a large pit, which was actually filled with snake bones.

Faintly, some cold and evil aura seemed to escape from the large pit and merge into the small black banner.

Eight stone pillars carved with lifelike pythons were inserted around the large pit.

The pythons were spitting snake tongues. At first glance, there was nothing, but if you looked closely, the pythons seemed to have come alive, emitting an incomparably cold and eerie aura, making people's hair stand on end and their whole bodies feel cold.

"Master, this place feels so cold and evil, let's go quickly!" Liu Liu Qiaolian said with a slightly pale face.

Xia Daoming's gaze stayed on the gourd on the altar for a long time, and then looked at the eight python stone pillars standing around the large pit. In the end, he didn't dare to take the risk.

Moreover, he hasn't even touched the threshold of immortal cultivation yet. Even if he took the risk to take that thing, which looked like an evil magic treasure, he wouldn't be able to use it. It's better to leave it for later.

"Okay." Xia Daoming finally nodded, turned around, and took Liu Liu Qiaolian away.

"Hero!" Seeing Xia Daoming coming out with Liu Liu Qiaolian, the bearded man hurried forward, holding two sets of green-water crocodile skin armor in his hands.

Obviously, he hadn't been idle just now.

Three days later.

A man and a woman were each riding a fine horse.

Galloping all the way.

The horse bags filled to the brim were hanging on the horses' backs.

This man and woman were naturally Xia Daoming and Liu Liu Qiaolian.

After a long time, the horses were panting, and the two had no choice but to slow down.

"Master, when are we going back to Li Cheng?" Liu Liu Qiaolian asked.

"We have been galloping for three days without a goal, so it should be about time. Tomorrow, we will find someone to ask for directions and return to Li Cheng." Xia Daoming thought for a while and replied.

It turned out that three days ago, after the two looted the valley in Gengyun Mountain, they first galloped for a day in the opposite direction of Li Cheng, and then wandered around aimlessly.

Most of the places they walked were rural mountain areas.

Although Li Cheng is chaotic, for Xia Daoming, it is a place where time is quiet and good. His friends and family are all in Li Cheng. Even if he is overly cautious, Xia Daoming will not hesitate.

"That's great!" Liu Liu Qiaolian said happily.

Before leaving the valley, Liu Liu Qiaolian also pulled out the array flags that were suppressing the array eye.

Now that she had gathered a set of Peach Miasma Illusion array flags, she had long been impatient to return to Li Cheng and hide at home to study them carefully.

"It seems my Xing Lian'er is homesick, and I am homesick too!" Xia Daoming was eager to return.

Liang Liang Jingtang is a good master, the three senior brothers are good senior brothers, and the senior sister is a good senior sister.

It's a pity that they are all older. Even if Xia Daoming sent out most of the Longevity Jade Liquid and gave personal guidance, their room for improvement was already very limited.

Especially Liang Liang Jingtang, who was over sixty, basically had no room for improvement.

But now it's different.

This time, he unexpectedly harvested two large bags of spirit rice.

This spirit rice can not only nourish people's meridians and vitality like a silent spring rain, but also refine the internal strength of martial masters.

If Liang Liang Jingtang and others eat a small bowl of spirit rice every day for a period of time, their room for improvement in martial arts will definitely be greatly different.

Also, Xia Daoming took too much from Ji Ji Wenyue and has always had nothing to repay.

This time, he made a fortune in Gengyun Mountain. After going back, he can finally repay her generously.

The next day.

Xia Daoming and Liu Liu Qiaolian embarked on the return journey.

"Who did it! Who did it! I will definitely peel your skin and cramp your muscles, and grind your bones into ashes!"

On this day, an old Taoist in black clothes with a pigeon-shaped face and chicken-claw-like hands in Gengyun Mountain let out a night-owl-like scream as he looked at the rice stubble in the fields.

Soon, the old Daoist with a pigeon-shaped face seemed to remember something and rushed into the stone cave in a hurry.

As soon as he broke into the stone cave, the old Daoist went straight to the stone room with the snake pit.

"Phew, fortunately, the Ten Thousand Snake Yin Soul Banner that I have worked hard to refine for sixty years is still here!"

Seeing that the snake pit stone room was not damaged, the old Daoist breathed a sigh of relief.

But immediately after, the old Daoist remembered the Vermilion Mist Fruit tree in the left stone room and ran out of the right stone room in a hurry.

"Damn it, my Vermilion Mist Fruit!" Seeing that the string of Vermilion Mist Fruits on the Vermilion Mist Fruit tree, which only ripened once every sixty years, had been picked by someone, the old Daoist let out a wail, his body couldn't help but sway, and he almost couldn't stand still.

After a long time, the old Daoist stopped wailing.

The greatest misfortune among misfortunes, the fruit tree is still there, and the string of newly bloomed flowers is also still there.

These flowers and the ripe Vermilion Mist Fruits can be said to be from the same batch. If they are a few years late, they can also bear fruit and ripen, so there is no need to wait another sixty years.

Otherwise, if he had to wait another sixty years, the old Daoist would really be crying without tears!

Soon, a cloud of black mist surged under the extremely angry old Daoist with a pigeon-shaped face, and cold wind rose all around.

The black mist wrapped around the old Taoist and flew low over the mountains, heading all the way to Luogui City.

A few hours later.

A large number of people rushed out of the City Lord's Mansion, holding portraits and catching people everywhere.

Those portraits were of the martial masters who worked in the valley of Gengyun Mountain, as well as the women who were kept in captivity for Sang Zhang and others to enjoy.

For a time, inside and outside Luogui City, it was a mess, and everything was in chaos.

Xia Daoming and Liu Liu Qiaolian didn't know any of this.

They were eager to return and galloped all the way.

Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall.

The atmosphere was grave.

"The forces led by the Ji family and the Dong family were ambushed at Yingyan Mountain. Not only were there experts from the three-family alliance including the Lin family, but the Xu family also sent experts. It is said that there were insiders from the four major forces in the retreating main force, who turned against them on the spot and killed many Great Martial Masters.

The whole team, which looked very large, was killed in a daze and fell apart. Rolling heads fell to the ground, and blood flowed like a river. It is said that many forces were directly wiped out.

However, I don't know what secret medicine the Ji family used. Not only did the old master of the Ji family suddenly skyrocket in strength, comparable to an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi, but some elders and disciples also skyrocketed in strength, and some even had protective talismans bestowed by legendary immortal cultivators.

They were forced to kill a bloody path by the Ji family, and some people escaped. However, since the four major forces have temporarily put aside their conflicts and want to clear the field first, the people of the Ji family will probably not escape disaster in the end." Zhuo Zhuo Xingji said in a deep voice.

Xingyou Escort Agency has been escorting goods outside all year round, and they know some people from all walks of life, so they are well-informed.

PS: It has already been taken off the new book list, but it will still be a while before it is put on the shelves, so there will still be many free chapters provided.

The fourth round of PK starts this week. Good results can get better recommendations. Without the help of the list, I can only ask book friends to help more.
