Lu Yuan quickly arrived at Xiulin Town based on the information he got from the tavern.
Liu Yuansi can be said to be a famous figure in the town. Just ask anyone and you will know him.
"The Liu Shusheng the Immortal Master is looking for is my good friend. But he has been out for a while."
The person who answered Lu Yuan's inquiry was a short-bearded young man in his twenties.
"Oh," Lu Yuan pondered, "He really knows mystical arts?"
"Yes," the young man said in a low voice, "A year ago, Yuan Si came back from the mountains as if he was a changed person, and he actually knew the magic. Ask him why and he won't tell you."
"Aren't you his friend?"
"My friend also refused to say anything." The young man said with a bitter smile.
Lu Yuan asked again: "What other hobbies does he have?"
The young man thought for a moment and said, "He likes painting after studying. Sometimes he even goes to see buildings with murals."
"Well, music, chess, calligraphy and painting are the hobbies of most scholars. This is normal."
The young man looked around and said mysteriously: "Yuan Si told me some time ago that he was going to a ruined temple far away to see paintings. That temple was said to be very evil, and some people went there and never came back. I Advise him not to go, but he will definitely go. There is nothing I can do."
"The evil temple? It's interesting," Lu Yuan whispered, "Do you have some of his small items?"
"Well, his things..." the young man recalled, "of course he has it. But the immortal asked what is the purpose of it?"
"You can find him through the objects below."
The young man held up his palm and said: "Great! I have always wanted to find him, but where can I find him? Master Immortal, I will go with you!"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "No, I will go alone. That place must not be peaceful."
"This..." the young man hesitated, "Okay. Then please ask the immortal master to come with me. I happen to have a paintbrush that he kept at home."
The two came to the young man's home.
The young man handed Liu Yuansi's brush to Lu Yuan.
This is a very ordinary small brush.
Lu Yuan poured his spiritual consciousness into it, and a light blue light flashed between his eyebrows.
A map slowly unfolded in his mind.
Somewhere deep in the mountains, a red light point slowly rose.
That's where the master of the brush is.
Lu Yuan absorbed the magical power of "Demon Tracing Technique".
He is now a third-level three-star, and is already very proficient in the use of the demon tracking technique. The positioning is also relatively accurate.
After Lu Yuan said goodbye to the young man, he walked towards his destination.
After walking for a day, near noon, Lu Yuan came to a high mountain.
I saw a dilapidated temple on the mountainside in the distance.
He was overjoyed and immediately flew forward with the cloud-piercing dragonfly.
This ruined temple is extremely ordinary.
The outer wall basically collapsed, and half of the main hall collapsed.
Various statues of bodhisattvas and benevolent deities are missing arms, legs, or heads.
Everything was covered in dust.
The ground is covered with decaying grass, and mice and other small animals have become permanent residents here.
The sun was shining now, but Lu Yuan felt a sense of coolness.
He walked around the ruined temple and looked carefully twice, but found no murals.
Liu Shusheng said he was here to see the murals, but there were no pictures here. Could it be that the magic of the demon tracer was wrong?
He immediately dismissed the idea.
The Demon Tracing Technique relies on soul perception and has high requirements on the spiritual realm. He is currently in the middle of the second level. Searching through something like a paintbrush that is extremely closely related to the owner can be said to be foolproof!
Anyway, it was noon now. Lu Yuan summoned Guo Pu and asked him to make a sumptuous picnic.
Guo Pu hasn't cooked for a long time, but his skills have not declined, but have become better as his cultivation level has improved.
Lu Yuan ate the delicious food with relish, and Guo Pu also happily ate the demon spirit pills refined by Lu Yuan.
After the master and servant had eaten, Lu Yuan found a shady corner in the ruined temple and took a nap comfortably.
He was so leisurely that Guo Pu couldn't understand: Didn't the master just say that he wanted to find a scholar? Why are you taking a nap here instead?
But he knew that if his master didn't tell him, he shouldn't ask casually.
So An Xin warned Lu Yuan.
In the evening, the two of them had something to eat, and Lu Yuan continued to sit in the corner.
Guo Pu finally couldn't help it anymore: "Master, you have been sitting here for most of the day. Didn't we agree to go find the scholar?"
Lu Yuan stretched out: "What's the rush? It's not time yet."
"It's not time yet? What do you mean?"
Lu Yuan looked at the sun setting in the west: "Let's talk about it in an hour."
It's night, thousands of forests are singing softly, and the moon is shining brightly.
Lu Yuan opened his eyes suddenly and said to Guo Pu, "Here he comes!"
Guo Pu was confused: "Coming? What's coming?"
"The mural is coming!"
"where?"
Lu Yuan led him to the back wall.
Only half of the wall remains.
When I looked at it during the day, there was only yellowish plaster on the walls and nothing else.
At this moment, Guo Pu was stunned by the sight in front of him.
Under the moonlight, a colorful mural appeared on the wall.
This painting has gorgeous colors and smooth lines. The painting shows many scenes of men and women feasting, drinking and having fun.
Their clothes are disheveled, their expressions are dissolute, and their postures are unsightly.
What a picture of an extravagant worldly feast!
Although Lu Yuan is not hard-hearted, he also knows the true background of this kind of mural.
Because he smelled evil spirit from the wall!
While watching, Guo Pu asked in surprise: "Master, these male and female donors just drink. Why are they fighting together again? Oops! It's so fierce that their clothes are broken!"
Lu Yuan quickly put him in the gourd: "These are monsters, you have to be careful! Especially those female donors, they will turn into tigers at night!"
Guo Pu was in the gourd and said angrily: "Tiger monster, hey, I'm not afraid!"
Nirvana let out a mean laugh in the scabbard.
Lu Yuan patted the scabbard: "I asked Lao Zhou to help you repair your house. Are you not used to it? If you are not used to it, I will let you go."
The silence immediately fell silent.
Lu Yuan took out the black spirit blade and used some mysterious energy.
A short black blade popped out from the hilt.
He held the dagger close to the wall.
The closer it gets, the more the short blade jumps, almost unable to form a "blade" shape.
He continued to pour in profound energy, letting the short blade fix its form, and then pierced it into the wall with force.
Just hearing a groan that sounded both painful and comfortable, the whole painting suddenly shook.
The picture is also a bit blurry.
Lu Yuan instantly felt that something was wrong and wanted to retreat immediately.
However, it was still a step slow.
He felt dizzy, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, but Lu Yuan suddenly woke up.
He opened his eyes suddenly and sat up.
Surrounded by a piece of grass, it is extremely soft.
It is dotted with some extremely delicate little wild flowers.
He looked into the distance again.
The Kirin True Eye gives him excellent vision at night.
There is a cluster of five or six-story high-rise buildings in the distance.
There are many strings of red lanterns hanging upstairs.
The evening wind passed by and swayed slightly.
There was a faint sound of singing and playing silk and bamboo in the building, and the smell of wine, meat and delicacies.
This is where?
Lu Yuan looked around again, recalled what happened just now, and immediately realized:
Could it be that I am inside the mural?
Then Shusheng Liu said he was going to see the murals, would he be in them too?
Many mysteries come together, prompting him to head towards the tall building.
He felt that there would be truth there!
Lu Yuan used his breath-holding magical power to detect his spiritual consciousness and quietly approached the tall building.
As I was walking, I suddenly saw a door open on the sixth floor.
A figure fell downstairs with a "pop"!
Lu Yuan was feeling strange when he suddenly saw some bright flowers nearby moving quickly as if they had legs.
They made a "rustling" sound and quickly moved to the place where the man fell.
Then I heard the sound of muscles and bones breaking and the sound of swallowing.
Lu Yuan already understood seven or eight points in his heart.
No wonder the wild flowers on the roadside were so bright just now. They turned out to be flower demons that devour human flesh and blood!
He did not attack the flower demon rashly to avoid alerting the enemy.
Lu Yuan continued to walk forward and saw many scattered clothes, hats, shoes and socks along the way.
Occasionally, you can see white bones or dried corpses.
Such a tragic scene, coupled with the soft and soft sound that contrasted strongly with it, immediately created a unique sense of eeriness and horror.
Lu Yuan was not affected by this scene at all.
Liu Yuansi, if you are inside, don’t die!
After walking for a while, Lu Yuan arrived at the first floor of the tall building.
On the plaque at the front of the door, there are three big pink characters written:
Yinqu Pavilion.
The door is ajar.
He pushed open the door and entered.
My eyes suddenly brightened up!
It's really spacious inside.
The lamp is like daylight, and the music is like incense.
There was no banquet here, but it was filled with beauties of all shapes and sizes.
They were naked, twisting their bodies gently, smiling like flowers, and waving to Lu Yuan frequently:
"Little brother, come on. My sister will make you happy..."
For the sake of this beautiful woman in this prosperous age, the common people have staged countless tragedies and comedies.
But in Lu Yuan's eyes, these are just bones in a grave.
Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world.
He waved away these beauties and looked around for Liu Yuansi.
"Little brother, haha, who are you looking for? Every one of us is great!"
Lu Yuan said coldly: "Master, I will be merciful now. If you continue to entangle me, your souls will be driven away!"
After saying that, blue mysterious energy rose up from his body.
The group of banshees were frightened by this extremely strong mysterious energy and quickly fled away.
He continued to look for the second floor.
This floor is even more impressive than the first floor!
It was filled with wine tables.
Countless couples of men and women were drinking and having fun inside, and the scene was the same as that depicted in the murals outside.
I searched again and still couldn't find it.
Lu Yuan secretly thought: This place is full of demons. If a mortal comes in, he will be killed by the evil spirit soon. I wonder if Liu Shusheng will die easily after taking the fairy tree!
Be sure to hold on!
After pushing through piles of wine and beauties, he arrived at the third floor.
It's still spacious, but the lighting has turned a dull pink.
The atmosphere is ambiguous.
There is no banquet here, but a lot of benches.
I don’t know how many couples of men and women are having sex in the dark.
The sound he made didn't sound like he was in the human world.
However, Lu Yuan's "Heart Mantra" was enough to make these sounds disappear completely.
He scanned the squirming crowd intently.
Lu Yuan had already memorized Liu Yuansi's appearance thanks to the magic of demon tracking.
Under a big pillar in the corner, he finally found his target!
