Qu Wuming used his sword again to chop off the head of a puppet who was about to stand up, but saw another puppet next to him raising his right hand towards him from a distance!
Seeing a black hole appear with a click in the palm of the puppet's right hand, which was about an inch in diameter, staring at him like a dark eye, Qu Wuming suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, and hurriedly ducked to the side to avoid it.
However, the palm of the puppet only moved slightly, but it was still firmly locked on Qu Wuming. The next moment, a white light suddenly flashed in the hole in the palm, and a beam of light about an inch thick shot out, heading straight for Qu Wuming. Shoot through the chest.
"Ah?!" Qu Wuming tried to dodge again, but it was already too late.
Seeing that the white light spanned a distance of several feet in an instant, and was about to hit him, but there was a sudden soft click from the puppet, and the white light pillar in the palm of his hand also dissipated into nothingness with a pop... That statue The puppet seemed a little puzzled. He retracted his palm and looked at it. He seemed to understand that the remaining energy in his body was no longer enough to use this attack method, so he clenched his fist and rushed towards Qu Wuming.
Qu Wuming secretly sighed at his luck, and saw many puppets around him raising their arms, and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, be careful, dodge in advance when they launch the beam of light! The further away, the better!"
Tong Xiangyu and Ding Xian did not dare to neglect. They jumped and dodged among the beams of light that were shooting out. They managed to avoid several attacks and also easily eliminated a few more puppets.
Fortunately, most of these puppets could only release one long-range attack, and some even lost the ability to move after releasing one attack. Qu Wuming and the other three finally "killed" all the remaining puppets after paying a price of some scratches. kill".
At this time, the three of them remembered that there seemed to be another companion who had been injured and fell, Hou Jinhai.
When everyone looked back at Hou Jinhai, they saw that Hou Jinhai was lying in a pool of blood. There were several holes in his head, his brain and blood were flowing all over the floor, and there was also a transparent hole on his chest. The hole, half of the remaining heart inside is vaguely visible...
Qu Wuming and the other two people looked at it with lingering fear. They thought that if the energy in these puppets' bodies were more, they might not be able to escape the fate of being strangled by the beam of light!
The three of them did not dare to go directly through the first grand hall. Instead, they chose the bluestone path next to the main hall and arrived in front of the second grand hall without incident.
When they got closer, Qu Wuming and the others discovered that there was half a cauldron of clear water in the bronze cauldron in front of the second grand hall, and a golden lotus was blooming in the water...
I saw that the golden lotus was about half a foot in size, and its petals seemed to be made of pure gold. There was a faint golden light flowing through the petals, shining brightly. In the center of the petals is a golden lotus pod about the size of a baby's head. There are nine thumb-sized red lotus seeds on the lotus pod. Although there is a layer of restrictions, there are still bursts of fragrance escaping from the cauldron, which makes people feel uncomfortable. After smelling it, I couldn't help but feel refreshed, and it seemed that the fatigue along the way was swept away in an instant!
"This golden lotus must be a rare treasure!" Ding Xian looked at the golden lotus with a hint of heat in his eyes, eager to put it in his pocket immediately. But when he saw the faint light mask on the bronze tripod, he didn't dare to touch it easily.
"Nine-grade golden lotus..." Qu Wuming looked at the petals of the golden lotus, and then looked at the only lotus leaf below. He saw that the lotus leaf was dark green, about three feet in size, like a thin futon. Floating quietly on the water. The strange thing is that the vein patterns on the lotus leaves seem to be breathing, and from time to time they flash with a light as moist as jade. "Dark green lotus leaves, as warm as jade..." Qu Wuming recalled carefully in his mind. I had read books and records about the true immortal world or various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and gradually a name came to my mind, "This may be the legendary Golden Lotus of Good Fortune!"
"Golden Lotus of Creation!?" Ding Xian was shocked when he heard this, and looked at the Golden Lotus with even more eager eyes, "That is the legendary creature that can completely transform the bones, change tendons and cleanse the marrow... It's a pity that it can only Look, I don’t dare to take it…”
"It's probably not a rare thing in the true immortal world to be displayed grandly in the yard, right?" Tong Xiangyu didn't know how precious the so-called Golden Lotus of Fortune could be. Seeing that Ding Xian seemed to be drooling, she couldn't help but feel a little contempt for him. .
"But this is the Shifang Realm..." Ding Xian knew that Tong Xiangyu was laughing at him, so he wasn't angry after hearing this, "It is said that the True Immortal Realm is far vaster than the Shifang Realm. If the Shifang Realm is placed in the True Immortal Realm, , I'm afraid there aren't even sesame seeds. Things like the golden lotus of good fortune have long since disappeared here. In some places in the real fairy world, they may be just like the wild flowers on the roadside, one by one... I really envy those who are born They are people in the true immortal world!"
Qu Wuming looked at Ding Xian who seemed to be in a nymphomaniac mood at the moment, he chuckled and said: "We can't decide where we are born, but we can control whether we work hard to improve ourselves every day. If If we work hard enough and are lucky enough, we will one day be able to ascend to the True Immortal Realm."
"Hey! Let's put aside whether we can ascend in the future. Let's finish the current one before we talk about it!" Ding Xian sighed, walked around the bronze tripod and looked towards the second grand hall.
The second-largest hall is slightly taller than the first-level hall, and it is magnificent, standing in front of the three people like the main hall of a secular palace.
At this moment, the palace door was tightly closed, and there was no sound in the palace.
Qu Wuming and the other three looked at each other and felt that it might be safer to bypass the palace and go straight to the rear.
However, just when the three of them turned around and took steps, the palace door suddenly opened, and three figures rushed out one after another.
Qu Wuming turned around and saw that the person rushing in front was Wei Yixian who had disappeared for a long time. However, Wei Yixian looked extremely embarrassed at this time. His clothes were torn, his shoulders were bloody, and his hair, which had always been neatly tied up, had also been chopped off. It became a messy hair. Behind Wei Yixian are two boys wearing green Taoist robes. They are about fifteen or sixteen years old. They have a face like a crown jade, bright eyebrows, and a red dot between their eyebrows. They each hold a short sword in their hands. The sword never leaves Wei Yixian's heart.
On the chests of the two people, there was a talisman firmly stuck on each - but it looked like it was already effective.
"Fellow Daoist Qu, save me!!!" Wei Yixian shouted and rushed straight towards Qu Wuming.
When Qu Wuming saw Wei Yixian like this, he felt an inexplicable anger welling up in his heart. However, this was not the time to argue about right and wrong with Wei Yixian, so he had no choice but to wave his long sword in his hand and step forward to block one of the boys.
The boy saw that he was about to pierce Wei Yixian with his sword, but was blocked by Qu Wuming. He immediately abandoned Wei Yixian and waved his sword at Qu Wuming.
The long swords intersected, making a crisp sound and sparks shooting out. Qu Wuming felt a strong force coming from the sword, which made his mouth feel numb. He took two steps back before standing firm.
"Such strength!" Qu Wuming pulled out a sword flower, and the tip of the sword circled the boy's arm like a dragon and stabbed straight into the opponent's shoulder.
The moment the long sword thrust out, Qu Wuming was surprised to see that there was a small gap on his sword blade!
The boy on the opposite side turned sideways and held his sword horizontally. Qu Wuming hurriedly withdrew his sword and turned around. With a flick of his wrist, the tip of the sword glanced at the gap and stabbed the boy's ribs again.
At this moment, the boy did not retreat or block. He stretched out his left hand and grabbed Qu Wuming's sword.
Qu Wuming knew there must be something strange and didn't dare to let him catch him. He changed his sword moves again and pointed at the boy's sword-holding wrist.
Here, Qu Wuming and the boy were fighting back and forth. On the other side, Tong Xiangyu had joined forces with Ding Xian to hold off another boy.
However, the boy was already at a disadvantage as soon as they had a confrontation.
Although Ding Xian was stabbed in the arm before three moves were made, Tong Xiangyu's martial arts was truly extraordinary, and the sword in her hand was extremely sharp. The boy's dagger had been cut into pieces by the fourth move.
The boy was holding a half-cut sword and suddenly became clumsy.
"Break his legs first!" Upon seeing this, Ding Xian shouted and swept his sword across the boy's neck, forcing the boy to lift his sword to block.
Seeing this, Tong Xiangyu took advantage of the situation, but did not listen to Ding Xian's command. The long sword in her hand turned into a cold light like a spirit snake spitting a message. The tip of the sword pierced the boy's throat and emerged from the boy's head.
There was a harsh creaking sound inside the boy's body, and two flames suddenly appeared in his eyes that were no different from those of ordinary people. Amidst the crackling noise, the entire head also burned.
Tong Xiangyu hit the target, dodged and retreated, and then flew behind the boy who was fighting Qu Wuming like a swift bird. She pierced the back of the boy's head with a sword, and the sword tip came out of the boy's mouth with a pop.
The same harsh sound came out, first the boy's eyes were on fire, and then the whole head was wrapped in light blue flames.
The boy's body shook and he fell to the ground with a crash, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.
When Ding Xian saw this, he looked at the long sword in his hand that was already full of gaps. Without thinking much, he took a few steps forward and grabbed the short sword in his hand.
"Be careful!" Qu Wuming and Tong Xiangyu shouted at the same time, which scared Ding Xian so much that he trembled and jumped far away with his sword in hand.
"What's wrong?!" Ding Xian looked at the two boy puppets. Seeing that the puppets were still motionless and glowing with joy, Ding Xian hurriedly turned to look at Qu Wuming and Qu Wuming.
"Are you so brave, have you forgotten Master Hu Ba?" Tong Xiangyu said with a long sigh after seeing that Ding Xian was fine.
"Ah..." Taoist Ding Xian was so frightened that he almost threw away the dagger, but then he thought that since he was fine at the moment, it meant that there were no forbidden spells on the dagger, so he wiped the cold sweat with lingering fear. , "I asked you two, can you stop being so startled in the future? I'm scared to death!"
"Wei Yixian, why did you come here by yourself? What are you looking for here?" Ding Xian turned around and saw Wei Yixian arranging his messy hair leisurely, and he felt angry in his heart.
"Master Ding, don't blame me." When Wei Yixian heard this, he hurriedly smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I am also acting according to my mission. The thing I am looking for is not in these two halls. I guess it should be in the last hall. .”
"Only a ghost can believe you!" Ding Xian spat, "You could have waited for us to act together, but you ran in on your own! Tell me, are there any good treasures that you have hidden?"
As he spoke, Ding Xian raised his dagger and pressed it against Wei Yixian's throat...
