Shen Tang and Dugu Qingli looked at him with strange expressions. Lu Xingzhou didn't change his face: \"Humanity’s fantasy of cultivating immortals, besides wanting to live forever, isn't the biggest meaning convenience? So I dare to say that everyone who cultivates the Dao is very lazy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli thought for a while and felt that it made sense for no reason, just like Lu Xingzhou’s Five Ghosts Moving Method, it was indeed convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why do you practice swords?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it cheated by the master when I was a child...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Scripture was still not a good cultivation technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough.\" Dugu Qingli coughed calmly: \"Judging from the current situation, there is a great possibility that the original owner has already sat down inside, causing his alchemy arrangements outside to become empty talk. This means that our previous judgment was correct. Originally, this place was indeed a peaceful place, and there was no danger... but now there may be changes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang said: \"The original owner’s corpse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, such an accidental sitting down must not be in the original owner’s expectation, so he would not make any arrangements for his aftermath. The corpse has been in such a geomantic treasure land with extremely rich spiritual energy for a long time, and it is possible for the corpse to change. The external vitality is the most common fuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Nuo couldn't help but complain: \"Sister Qingli, you have dug so many graves, it’s skilled enough to make people feel distressed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli was silent for a moment and said calmly: \"From childhood to adulthood, what I have seen most is glaciers, followed by dead people. In the two months of protecting Shen Tang, I have spoken more than I have in the previous ten years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't say much, just looked at Lu Xingzhou, waiting for his decision. Actually, it’s not easy to say... She meant that it is relatively dangerous inside, and Lu Xingzhou’s cultivation is the lowest here, and his intelligence is completely meaningless in the face of irrational corpse puppets, so it is best not to go in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But saying this directly is a bit hurtful to his self-esteem... Dugu Qingli didn't know how she would consider this, logically this shouldn't be something she would consider...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou had been very silent, and only then did he slowly speak: \"I practice soul and ghost techniques, which should have an effect... It’s not me who shouldn't go in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he sighed and whispered: \"A Nuo, you guard outside, don't go in no matter what.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Nuo was stupid: \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and the owner of this place must have a connection. I am afraid that the demon blood suppression and illness from last time will happen again, and this probability... is quite high.\" Lu Xingzhou rubbed her little head and said softly: \"Tang Yunzhong and those people are not necessarily able to keep the secret. In case someone breaks in and makes trouble, it will be a trouble. A Nuo, help guard the outside, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Nuo’s words were blocked back in her throat by the second half of the sentence. She looked at her master resentfully for a long time before finally hanging her head and handing over the white banner: \"Okay. Master, take the magic treasure...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly knowing that Master was just looking for an excuse... For so many years, A Nuo had never been Master’s burden, but after returning to Xiazhou, she always felt that she was so useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, listen to Master and don't add trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no outsiders here, Shen Tang threw away the wheelchair and could walk by herself. A Nuo watched Dugu Qingli push Lu Xingzhou’s wheelchair into the door, squatted on the ground, hugged her knees, and curled into a ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, A Nuo felt that her ability to sense flowers and plants was still very useful for exploring the cave... Unfortunately, this place looks like a wilderness, a piece of fertile soil, but why can't she see any wild grass? Is the earth vein wasted by alchemy? It doesn't look like it... The earth vein is clearly still fertile, otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to form a spirit stone mine...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh...\" A Nuo suddenly raised her little head from her knees, her eyes shining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are no flowers or plants here, which in itself is an abnormal phenomenon. Master and Sister Qingli’s thinking direction is not these, their brain circuits didn't turn to here, but A Nuo’s turned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, A Nuo not going in is correct, there must be unknown omissions outside that haven't been explored yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Nuo is the smartest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\" The three people over there had just entered the cave and hadn't walked a few steps when they were hit by an extremely strong violent energy impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang, who was opening the way, didn't understand what was on the opposite side for a while, and subconsciously pushed out with both palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The qi energy collided, the other side drifted backward, and Shen Tang was also staggered backward, hitting Lu Xingzhou’s legs, and fell directly into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou was very used to holding her, his right hand had already reached out from her side, and the white banner shook lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli was about to draw her sword, but was horrified to find that the enemy stopped moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking closely, the enemy was just a very blurry human figure, shaped like a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a talisman spirit, also called a Kui Zhao, often used to guard the door or protect certain treasures. It is not impossible to classify it as a ghost.\" Lu Xingzhou shook the white banner and said: \"My Soul Banner is the nemesis of this kind of thing. If you force a battle, it will be very difficult to fight. They are not afraid of pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lu Xingzhou’s intention to save face and counterattack after his previous contempt, Dugu Qingli’s mouth twitched: \"Your Soul Banner... is a very powerful magic treasure, not an ordinary magic tool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Lu Xingzhou put away the Soul Banner and sighed: \"It is a natal treasure that grows with me. It is me who delayed it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli really wanted to ask why he chose such an evil natal magic treasure, but before she could ask, someone in Lu Xingzhou’s arms spoke first: \"Let go of me~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are you shouting for? Is it very difficult for you, a dignified Fourth-Grade, to stand up by yourself? It’s not like he can hold you...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Practicing martial arts until stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang also realized that her brain had water in it, and she struggled with a red face. Then she heard Lu Xingzhou ask the dull talisman spirit with a straight face: \"Who is your master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The talisman spirit frowned and thought hard for a while, as if it couldn't remember anything, and the dull echo reverberated in the passage: \"In short... you don't have the master’s aura... you are not allowed to enter...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou very much doubted that A Nuo might have the aura of its master, but he didn't dare to take this risk. After a little pondering, he fished out a small lucky bag from his ring and shook it: \"Is there any aura?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The talisman spirit was stunned, but it didn't recognize the master, just let the way go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This performance seemed like the aura was somewhat familiar, but not to the extent of the master, probably recognizing that you are a friendly guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou looked at the lucky bag in his hand thoughtfully. Shen Tang couldn't care about blushing and asked quietly: \"This is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the lucky bag A Nuo knitted for my birthday this year. It contains her hair and a healing elixir...\" Lu Xingzhou’s eyes were gentle: \"A Nuo has excellent alchemist talent, but unfortunately she has no flame affinity and cannot practice flame techniques, so it is difficult to refine elixirs by herself. This was refined by her relying on the geothermal fire of Danxia Mountain. At that time, she couldn't control the geothermal fire and was covered in dirt, like a gray monkey...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Nuo’s hair... at least it can prove that A Nuo and the owner of this place really have a relationship, but it is hard to judge the extent of the relationship for the time being, whether it is kinship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, it was correct not to let her in. Now there is no other immortal elixir, and it can’t withstand accidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Lu Xingzhou didn't say much, Dugu Qingli pushed the wheelchair past the talisman spirit. At the moment of passing, Lu Xingzhou’s Soul Banner rolled, and the talisman spirit slipped into the banner. A piece of talisman paper floated and fell in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since it is clearly related to A Nuo, I must take it back for detailed investigation.\" Lu Xingzhou picked up the talisman paper and put it away: \"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance passage was very short, and after a while, the three arrived at an empty place. According to the layout of their own cave, it should be a front hall. But just after stepping in, Shen Tang immediately tightened her spiritual energy and stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front hall was a mess, with stone tables and chairs smashed to pieces, and there were even cup fragments on the ground, and traces of technique burning could be vaguely seen everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was a battle here... it’s a very ancient residue.\" Shen Tang whispered: \"The situation looks very much like guests visited, and then some dispute occurred between the host and guests, leading to a fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli’s previous deduction about \"accidental sitting down\" was instantly overturned; this was not an accident, it was human!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the cup fragments, there was more than one guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then even the conventional search for the cave core is saved. Follow the traces of the battle, and you can find the final place of the battle; that is the most important thing.\" Dugu Qingli pushed Lu Xingzhou to the left corridor, and Shen Tang chased after her quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corridor was full of technique residues, which made the three of them terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cave itself was inside the mountain belly, and it was very difficult to destroy it. Moreover, in order to avoid accidents and burying himself inside, the cave owner often arranged extremely solid reinforcement arrays. With Shen Tang’s current strength, it was almost impossible to blast a small pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking all the way, one could see that many cave walls had collapsed, large pieces of rock walls were piled on the ground, the walls were pitted, and there were even large holes a foot deep. I don't know what kind of strength the two sides of the battle had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching the end of the corridor, they finally saw the first corpse, with a pair of legs exposed at the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Dugu Qingli’s experience, it was easy to have a corpse change here. The three of them gathered a big move on their bodies and approached cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they reached the corner and looked toward the corpse, the scalps of the three began to numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What one corpse, there were at least a dozen corpses here... These were all ancient immortals. If they changed corpses at the same time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the thought moved, a slight tremor came, and the dozen or so corpses behind the corner raised their heads at the same time, their eyes filled with green phosphorus fire.\u003C\u002Fp>",1993,"2026-06-18T01:46:09.112Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a37d604b4bfc94fad7cf9bf373da20dd83f09a2e177afcafe4dd32b5a1a1bb19","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-48","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-46",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
