The sudden abnormality made everyone feel chilled. Although they were used to seeing all kinds of tragic situations, such strange methods made them feel frightened and uneasy, and they left hastily.
Returning to Taiyi Pavilion, Taoist Priest Qingxu dismissed everyone and walked into his room, but he could not calm down and shook his head restlessly.
At this moment, he was startled, and he hurriedly raised the fly whisk with a vigilant look on his face, facing the door. I saw two doors opening without any wind. A black mist condensed and turned into a human figure. He said lightly: "It's me."
Qingxu took a careful look at the person who came, then put away his guard, changed to a respectful look, stepped forward and closed the door, and said with a worried look: "Mr. Nanjing, why are you here? Don't be afraid. Has anyone discovered it?"
"Hmph, even my current broken body is enough to deal with people like you!" The male grin said with a proud look on his face.
"I made a mistake..."
The man flicked his sleeves, stopped Taoist Priest Qingxu's words, and said calmly: "We'll talk nonsense later. Tell me, what did Gui Chai Hall say?"
Taoist Priest Qingxu then told the man exactly what had happened. Hearing this, the man frowned and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Master Nanji, Gui Chaodian must have discovered it, right?" Taoist Priest Qingxu asked tentatively.
"Probably not. I have never shown up in these years. Even if there is suspicion, it is not on my head. It's just that I don't have much time now. The Five Elements Cauldron is imminent. And I'm afraid that the Witch King won't be able to hide it. Yes, I have secretly recruited a person named 'Skull' over there, if anything happens, you can just tell him."
"Skull? Isn't that man also Wu Tuku..."
"That's right, but this man is very scheming and rebellious. I once hinted to him that if he won the Five Elements Cauldron, I would help him take the position of Witch King, and he readily agreed. If he becomes the Witch King in the future, Well, here at Taiyi Pavilion... naturally I don’t need to say anything more.”
"Thank you, Master Nan Jin, Qingxu Ding will not disappoint you!" Qingxu looked happy.
"One more thing, if they go to the Demon Locking Tower and see that the seal on the fourth floor is not broken, but is unlocked from the outside, you know what the consequences will be..."
"I'll take care of it!"
"Don't let me down..." After the man said that, he turned into a black mist and disappeared into the house.
After explaining the task, the man was hiding in the stone chamber in the tomb. There was a violent cough, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the charm in his hand lost its luster.
With this movement, the vitality of his whole body became a little lighter, his face was gray and he was dying. I saw him meditating and adjusting his breath, inhaling the surrounding black air into his body, and his expression softened a little.
He looked at the black skeleton on the stone bed in front of him, and his eyes shone faintly, as if he were looking at his beloved: "Five Elements Cauldron! When I get the Five Elements Cauldron, I can refine this body and rescue the demon in the Demon Locking Tower. , I wonder who can stop me? Hahaha...ahem..."
It was already daybreak, and people from all walks of life slowly gathered in a barren and desolate place.
I saw that there was no grass growing in this place, which was a mile round. In the middle stood an eighteen-story octagonal pagoda. The eight sides of the pagoda corresponded to the eight directions of east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, north and northeast. There are four small doors on the wall and four small windows at the corners. There are precious necklaces hanging on the wall and precious bells hanging high on the eaves, which looks very solemn.
When I got closer, I saw that the wall of the window was covered with various charms and formations, making the originally very gorgeous pagoda even more jewel-like. It was unlike ordinary things. Even in the daytime, you can feel the light and shadow floating. on it.
However, the noisy atmosphere in the tower destroyed this beautiful scenery. When everyone came to the tower, they only felt the loud banging on the doors and windows, and the sounds of various roars and fights in the tower. They saw several disciples guarding the tower in Taiyi Pavilion standing shivering. In the distance, when I saw someone coming, I hurriedly came closer.
"Seniors, this Demon Locking Tower is very dangerous. Please be careful when inspecting it later!"
"Don't worry, these monsters and ghosts are all sealed, there's nothing to be afraid of." A fat-headed bearded man said nonchalantly, and followed the others swaggering up.
As we got closer to the Demon Locking Tower, the noise of the fighting inside became more intense, almost deafening. Especially when we stepped onto the tower and felt the slight vibration of the tower, it was even more frightening. The bottom wall of the pagoda has eighteen written on it, and seventeen above it. The floors are actually arranged upside down. The careless bearded man looked at the distance above his head, and his face suddenly turned pale and cautious. moving.
Since the tower was sealed, it was impossible to go upstairs through the stairs inside. Everyone climbed up the ladder on the side railings of the tower in turn, and reached the fourth floor with a strong and agile body. However, the bearded man was fat and looked slightly slimmer. Climbing up slowly and nervously.
Just as he stepped onto the fourth floor, he couldn't help but press close to the wall and gasp for breath. At this moment, he saw a terrifying face peeking out from the window, which made him scream and lean back. Fortunately, someone next to him held him, so he didn't fall off the tower. He almost became the first person to fall to death on the Demon Locking Tower.
This scene caused the things in the Demon Locking Tower to scream and laugh. The bearded guy picked up the guy in shame and anger and was about to attack. As soon as the attack landed on the window, he was flicked by Taoist Master Qingxu next to him. He blocked it and shouted angrily: "On the Demon Locking Tower! Don't be so arrogant! If you destroy the formation spell, won't you let the things inside succeed? Get out!"
When the man heard this, he immediately admitted his mistake with a red face, turned around, jumped down in a few steps, and left the Demon Locking Tower.
At this time, the few people who came up first had checked around and found nothing strange. At this time, they heard the Witch King let out a light sigh and looked at a window. They saw that there was someone who had been tampered with by outsiders at this window. He asked aloud, "Taoist Priest Qingxu, what's going on?"
Before Qingxu could speak, a person next to him rushed to narrate what had just happened. The Witch King frowned upon hearing this, glanced at the calm Taoist Priest Qingxu, and said lightly: "We just checked carefully and found that except for this place , there is nothing abnormal, it must be that Guizandian Tianhei misunderstood. In this case, the few of us will hurry up and repair this place to avoid causing trouble. "
After saying that, several people cooperated with each other to carefully restore the magic circle, and then heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this only destroyed a corner of the magic circle. If it were a little larger, it would not be something that could be solved in a short while to restore it to the original state.
Even as they were repairing, they couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of this magic circle. Unexpectedly, the seemingly simple arrangement was actually one ring within another. Even if you removed one of the steps, you couldn't completely break it. . In other words, even if the place was left alone and the things inside escaped by chance, if the body alone could pass through the remaining magic circle, the soul and body would be separated, leading to a dead end.
After the repair was completed, everyone's faces returned to the calmness of yesterday. "The break Zhao Changsheng said was just a break. Now it's repaired and it will be fine." After everyone comforted each other, they all said goodbye and left.
When the Witch King led a group of people passing by Taoist Master Qingxu, he suddenly asked: "Will it be solved again?"
"Ah? Go back to the Witch King, it won't happen anymore." Taoist Priest Qingxu replied hastily.
"I understand." The Witch King smiled and continued to leave with a few people.
Watching everyone leave, Taoist Master Qingxu finally felt relieved. At this moment, the fat-headed bearded man quietly came to his side and asked in a low voice: "Is it solved?"
Taoist Master Qingxu nodded.
I saw the bearded man suddenly softened and fell to the ground. A white soul floated out from his body, and swished into the pile of rocks in the distance. I saw the pile of rocks scattered in all directions and walked out. A man in black appeared. He moved his body and murmured: "This technique of the skull is really easy to use, but it is still more comfortable to use with your own body."
"Then... this right-arm brother, please give me a few nice words in front of Mr. Jin when you get back..."
"That's natural, farewell." After saying that, he swept his right arm around and left in another direction.
Taoist Priest Qingxu wiped his sweat, turned his head and looked at the Demon Locking Tower, let out a sigh of relief, and sighed at his wit.
"Come here, get rid of this guy on the ground and return to Taiyi Pavilion."
"Knock knock knock..." There was a knock on the door on the second floor of Fengting.
"who?"
"Boss, it's me!"
Wu Fan opened the door and saw a panting Yuan Hua and a calm-looking Huang Qilin standing at the door. He gestured for them to come in doubtfully, and then closed the door.
"How's your inquiring going?" Wu Fan leaned against the window and looked out through the cracks in the window.
As soon as I arrived in Cangga City that day, before I had a good feeling about it, I was disturbed by someone, and my worth increased inexplicably.
When Wu Fan mentioned this, several people were confused. Logically speaking, if Wu Fan was offered a reward, Feng Hu, who was guarding the city, should stop him. However, he did not react at all. It must be because the news has not yet been released. spread, or not reach them.
And if everyone holding the reward list knows their location, the big trees in the Fengting Pavilion may have been ground into teeth pickers by the visitors. It must be that these two lucky guys happened to pass by.
But an inference is an inference after all, so Wu Fan asked a few people to go out and investigate before deciding where to go.
Yuan Hua wiped his sweat and took out a list from his arms and handed it to Wu Fan: "Boss, look at what you were talking about that day."
Wufan took the list and nodded.
"On my way back last night, I saw a Jianxingju disciple sneaking around, so I followed him secretly, and found that he actually came to the alley you mentioned, took out this thing, and looked around Look, I shook my head and put it back. I thought this person must be with those two people, so I knocked him out from behind and stole the list. I didn't expect that this person had such profound skills that he actually woke up. Come here, get up and take back the list. Of course I couldn't agree, so I started fighting with him, and I saw him use a gorgeous swordsmanship, but I didn't panic..."
"Tell the important point!"
"I...I was afraid of arousing suspicion, so I didn't act in a deterrent manner, so I couldn't beat him, so I ran away...and was gone..."
"Gone?"
"Yes, I just ran nearby and met Brother Huang. He helped me fight off the man, and then we came back together."
"You weren't chased all night, were you?"
"Um…"
"Then...where is that person now?"
"I probably ran away for my life. Is it possible that I can still catch him here?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of people coming downstairs. One of them shouted loudly: "Search for me! The thief must be hiding here!"
“…”
