Seeing the two of them heading towards the courtyard gate, and Tao Le was about to leave, Tao Yu suddenly turned around and looked towards the kitchen.
This look was very cold and cruel, completely different from when he saw him in the daytime, which surprised Tao Le.
She held her breath for a moment, but Tao Yu seemed to have discovered something. He let go of the hand holding Tao Xingyi and strode towards the kitchen.
When Tao Le was in a hurry, he saw a golden-blue figure flashing outside. In a few moves, he jumped over the fence and disappeared into the night.
"It turned out to be that cat." Tao Yu stopped and turned back to Tao Xingyi: "I was just about to take care of it, but I didn't expect it to be delivered to my door."
"Don't add unnecessary complications!" Tao Haozhe whispered: "Find that thing first and then talk about it."
"Grandpa, are you sure that the thing you saw when you were a child is the secret treasure of the sect that my master mentioned?"
"Shh, don't say it, be careful the walls have ears!"
"Grandpa, you are too careful. So what if someone hears it? Is there anyone in this village who can stop me?"
"You brat, don't be too arrogant. You must know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."
"It would be true in an indescribable place. But here, hehe, grandpa, you don't have to be too low-key."
The two people talked softly as they came to the entrance of the courtyard. The two black dogs guarding the gate stood up and looked at them with burning eyes.
"I'm sorry!" Tao Yu flew over very quickly, clapped both hands, and knocked the two dogs to the ground.
Then they opened the courtyard door gently, turned around and closed it, and then left.
Tao Le waited until the footsteps faded away, then opened the courtyard door and walked out.
Just the few words he heard just now made Tao Le full of curiosity.
Not to mention the secret treasure of the master sect, this was the second time she had heard of that indescribable place.
Her nominal master Zhou Jishen once mentioned this place, and she also pretended to use its name.
Unexpectedly, this place still exists, and it seems to have something to do with my cousin.
She decided to follow them to see what they wanted to do in this mountain village.
Tao Le relied on his excellent hearing and stayed far behind the two of them. After not walking far, we arrived at the foot of Sanjian Mountain behind Kaoshan Village.
There are winding stone paths on the mountain, which are shaded by the dense trees on both sides, giving off a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
Even though Tao Le could see the way forward clearly, he still hesitated at this moment.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed a plump figure crouching on the steps in front of her.
Ximu jumped into her arms leisurely, with golden light shining in his dark eyes.
Although she knew that he was the Mio man with ulterior motives and that the person in front of her was her relative, at this moment, she felt inexplicably relieved.
As long as he is here, no matter how many dangers there are in this mountain, Tao Le feels that it is nothing, and he can definitely try his best.
After walking for another five or six minutes, Tao Le suddenly heard the footsteps in front of him disappear, replaced by a slight stamping sound from above the tree crown, coming from far to near.
She immediately became alert, hugging Simu and hiding behind a big tree on the side of the steps. This tree has so many branches and leaves that even from the top of the tree no one can be seen below.
Ximu quietly spread the source energy around Tao Le's body, cutting off her breath.
The footsteps moved back and forth on the top of the tree, and it took a long time before they left.
"It's strange. We obviously feel like there is someone behind us and have been following us." Tao Yu jumped down from the tree and said to Tao Haozhe.
"There are many animals in this mountain. There were bears back then, and they may not be humans."
"I'm really looking forward to it. If there is a bear here, it deserves its short life. Not only will I have bear paws to eat, but I can also make a bearskin mat for grandpa."
"Come on, be careful about being arrested and sentenced. It will be bad if it delays your selection!"
The two people lowered their guard and continued walking while talking, with Tao Le and Ximu still following at a distance.
After walking for more than ten minutes and turning two corners, we finally saw a land temple.
"Your uncle said that that thing is placed in the wing next to the temple together with the old statues. Let's look for it."
The old man and the young man did not enter the main hall, but went straight to the side rooms on both sides.
The wing on the west side was empty with nothing, but the one on the east side was locked with a large copper lock.
Tao Yu easily broke the copper lock with his hands, and the grandfather and grandson entered the house together and started rummaging around.
Taking advantage of this moment, Tao Le carried Ximu into the main hall of the Tutu Temple. He first worshiped the Tutu God and confessed his sin, and then hid in the curtain behind the statue.
After a while, Tao Haozhe's excited cry was heard: "I found it, it's really still there! Yu'er, come and try it quickly!"
"It's really it. It's exactly the same as the map Master showed me! I never expected that such a secret treasure could be found in such a small village!"
"Do you still remember the method your master said?"
"Remember. Kowtow three times sincerely, and then hold it with both hands. Your heart is clear and free of thoughts. If it is destined, it will recognize its master!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Come here quickly!"
Tao Le's curiosity was almost overflowing. What on earth is that secret treasure? She really wants to see it with her own eyes!
The holographic projection of the secret treasure was displayed in front of Ximu, and he could see it clearly.
This object is about one foot high. Its main shape is a gourd with complex patterns carved on it. Four legs are protruding from the bottom in the shape of a dragon's claw, which is clearly identifiable.
Four small wings protruded from the middle and upper part of the bottle, curling upward as if they wanted to fly high.
This thing looks exquisite and unique, and it should not be put into the trash.
"Your Highness, that is an ordinary celadon product without any energy response. I have scanned it from the inside out. I have even done the meson structure detection, and I haven't found anything special at all."
"Then...just wait and see what happens."
In the side room, Tao Yu kowtowed first, then cleared his mind, held the bottle, and began to wait silently.
One second, two seconds, five minutes, ten minutes.
The bottle never responded. He let go slumped, his disappointment palpable.
Tao Xingyi was also disappointed: "Are you sure you didn't remember the wrong steps?"
Tao Yu thought about it carefully, then shook his head affirmatively.
"That means there is no chance." Tao Xingyi sighed: "Take it back and let all the younger generations in our family try it."
"If someone has this blessing, it is naturally the best. If not, you can give it to your master and treat it as an entry gift."
"I believe that with this ability to find the secret treasure, not only will you have no problem being selected, but you will also be looked upon highly by others there in the future."
