The lush forests breed the spiritual beast kingfisher; the mountain spring stirs up mist, and the hazy Yao grass and strange flowers appear.
If Lu Chun hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for him to even imagine that there would be such a blessed place behind this cold and dim cave!
"Sir, please come this way!" Seeing Lu Chun coming out of the magic circle, the man hurriedly continued to lead the way.
While walking on the road, Lu Chun's attention was suddenly drawn to a garden not far away. The rare medicinal materials inside were things he had only seen in books or heard about from Lin Zidai. This was the first time he saw them with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but his eyes sparkled.
"Let me tell you, does this space belong to all of you Wutu Baizi?" Lu Chun coveted those herbs and couldn't help but ask.
"My lord is right."
"So the medicine garden over there... was also planted by you Wu Tu Baizi?" Lu Chun asked directly without mincing words.
"Yaoyuan..." The man followed Lu Chun's direction and looked, then looked a little stunned and said with a strange expression: "This... should be considered it."
"Then if I want to get some medicinal materials, is it possible?" Lu Chun asked, rubbing his hands together.
"This may...not work..." The man looked a little embarrassed.
Lu Chun saw something wrong with this man's expression, and quickly explained: "Don't worry! I know it's not easy to grow medicinal materials, and I don't get it for free. You just have to pay me!"
The man had a wry smile on his face: "Sir, how dare I ask you for money? It's because this medicine garden is not my responsibility, so I don't dare to make any arbitrary decisions."
"Oh? What do you mean by this?" Lu Chun was a little troubled.
"Sir, although this space belongs to us Wutu Baizi, we have always performed our own duties and never asked about other people's affairs!" The man smiled helplessly and continued: "In other words, the two of us Those at the bottom of the rankings have a low status, and their daily duties include patrolling. Although they are both Wu Tu Baizi, they have no interaction with these people."
"I see..." Lu Chun nodded. He did not expect that although the space here was isolated, it was also penetrated by social classes.
"And as far as I know, the person in charge of the medicine garden has a weird and cunning personality, and he has always been a loner! Not to mention us, even when the Witch King and Mr. Nan came, he rarely showed up..." This person knew There is nothing left to say.
"You don't even give these two people face? This guy is really a weirdo..." Lu Chun was also a little dumbfounded, "What's this guy's name?"
"Sir, it seems you still don't know that we Wutu Baizi don't have names and are always called by code names!" The man didn't feel thirsty at all and explained without any complaints: "It's like the two of us, I am Eighty, he’s eighty-one.”
Lu Chun was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He had been communicating with the person next to him for a long time, but this was the first time he knew what he called him.
"Well, eighty, do you know this person's code name?"
"Sir, his name is Shiba."
Hearing this, Lu Chun couldn't help but sigh. Although they were just the inversion of the same two numbers, this inversion turned his life upside down.
"Come on, sooner or later, you will become eighteen!" Lu Chun really didn't know what to say, so he could only encourage him.
"Thank you for your kind words, sir!" Perhaps this was the first time that this eighty-year-old man had been praised. His eye circles were slightly red, and his originally slightly arched back became much straighter.
…
The further he moved forward, the more surprised Lu Chun was. He originally thought that these "disciples" should be gathered somewhere like the Yuhu Sect or Wutu Cave, but he didn't expect that the place they were in turned out to be like this. It's like a village!
"Eighty, eighty-one, can you two lead me to the specific location of these people? I need your help with some things." Lu Chun looked around, but saw no trace of anyone, and was confused. He said to the two people beside him.
"Sir, this doesn't need to be so troublesome. Please come over here!" Ba Shi smiled when he heard the words and led Lu Chun to an open place.
Lu Chun looked around and saw that they were standing on the surface of a large sundial. However, this sundial did not have a dial needle and was replaced by a waist-high stone platform.
"Sir, this is the command platform. As long as you place the order on the stone platform, the hundred disciples of Wutu will come immediately!" Eighty-year-old Lu Chun was brought to the stone platform and introduced patiently.
"Oh? This thing is so magical?" Lu Chun looked at the black jade card in his hand again. He didn't expect that this thing could be used to locate, guide, and find people. It was really a multi-functional and convenient tool!
Not wanting to delay, he turned around and looked at the stone platform. Sure enough, he saw a groove on the stone platform that matched the outline of the black jade medal, and he put it in without hesitation.
And the moment the black jade tablet fell into the groove, a buzzing sound spread out, and a beam of light shone directly on the face of the dial.
This buzzing sound came and went quickly, leaving only the light above the head proving that what just happened was not an illusion. Lu Chun was about to ask Ba Shi something when he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from all around, and figures appeared in front of him like ghosts.
"Wu Tu Baizi, pay your respects to Lord Skull!" In just a short moment, the empty dial surface was crowded with people, all of them greeted Lu Chun, which made Lu Chun's blood boil.
"Ahem... You must be Wu Tubaizi... No..." Lu Chun was stunned before he finished speaking, thinking to himself, what's the difference between what he said and nonsense? He also hurriedly spat a few times: "Yes, I am the skull... This is not right..."
Just when Lu Chun didn't know how to speak, he heard a voice from the crowd: "Sir, the matter you ordered last time has not been completed yet. Do you need me to report the progress to you?"
"Last time?" Lu Chun was stunned for a moment, then guessed that this person was probably talking about the order given by Lu Tong. But now that Lu Tong's scourge has been eliminated, his affairs have nothing to do with him. Lu Chun just waved his hand and replied: "It's no longer necessary, and...cancel all the tasks before today!"
"Yes, sir!" Several people in the crowd said in unison. It seemed that Lu Tong had a lot of trouble behind his back.
"Sir, Eighty-Nine and the others were ordered to go out. Do you want your subordinates to go down and bring them back?" As soon as the first few people finished speaking, someone else stepped forward.
"Oh? Are you ordered to go out?" Lu Chun couldn't help but be curious and wanted to see what Lu Tong was doing. "What did they do?"
"Sir, Sir, Sir Shou asked them to go to the Jade Pot Sect in order to capture a disciple named Wu Fan!" Wu Tu's hundred disciples all recognized the jade sign and not the person, so they hurriedly explained.
"What!" Lu Chun's eyes widened when he heard this. He didn't expect that Lu Tong would actually be one step ahead of him!
However, he felt that someone with Lu Tong's mind would not behave like this. Yun Lang must have said something to Lu Tong! After all, it was Yunlang who rescued Lu Tong that day. The latter was most likely instigated by Yunlang and used Wu Tu Baizi to kidnap Wu Fan to repay his favor!
Yunlang kept Wu Fan in order to devour this son's bloodline. Once this son was caught by Wu Tu Baizi, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Do you know when they set off?" Thinking of this, Lu Chun hurriedly asked.
"It was seven days ago..." The man thought for a moment and said with certainty: "At that time, I was supposed to be on the same road with Eighty-nine, but later the plan changed and I was sent to perform other tasks... so I can't remember the time wrong. !”
"I just hope that boy can be smarter and not return to the Yuhu Sect and throw himself into a trap!" Lu Chun thought that even if he sent someone out, it would be too late, so he could only grit his teeth and pray secretly.
"I got it...you all should stand down!" Since the plan had failed, Lu Chun's trip was in vain, and he could only dismiss the Wutu Baizi away from his eyes in despair.
When the Wutu Baizi disappeared from his eyes like a ghost, Lu Chun took out the black jade tablet from the stone platform and signaled Eighty and Eighty-one to lead him out.
Along the way, Lu Chun was worried, and he still regretted that he was too impulsive in killing Lu Tong. It’s not for anything else, I just didn’t press for Izumo Nami’s whereabouts, letting him die too easily...
While walking, he suddenly heard a clanking sound in the distance, and followed the sound and looked over. Then, he saw a figure holding a shovel and beating something on the edge of the medicine garden.
"Lord Skull, that person is Shiba!" When Baoshi saw the figure, he quickly leaned into Lu Chun's ear and whispered, "It's really rare... Shiba would appear at this time."
"Oh?" Lu Chun's mind changed when he heard this, and he shouted in the direction of the man: "Eighteen, right? I heard that this medicine garden belongs to you?"
“…”
The eighteen didn't seem to hear anything, and didn't even react at all. They were just minding their own business at hand.
"Ahem..." Lu Chun was a little embarrassed to be ignored, so he raised his voice a bit: "Eighteen! Several medicinal materials in your medicinal garden happen to be what I urgently need now. I wonder if you can part with them and use these medicinal materials. Trade it to me? I’ll thank you deeply after it’s done!”
But Na Shiba still didn't respond at all, he was very busy.
"Eighteen! You... don't go too far! Lord Skull is talking to you!"
If it were before, I would naturally not dare to speak like this to these guys at the forefront. It's just that the words of encouragement this Lord Skull gave him just now made him feel overwhelmed, and he really couldn't bear to let this Lord Skull be left out in the cold.
"Eighty!" Lu Chun has long been accustomed to the indifferent attitude of others, so it doesn't matter. He just waved his hand: "He will pass by here anyway, so there is no harm in waiting here for a while!"
Although Baoshi was unwilling to do so, since the Lord spoke, he could only respectfully silence his voice.
I saw that Eighteen was still digging around as if there was no one else around. After working hard for a while, he stopped and slowly knocked away the soil on the shovel.
"Shiba! There are quite a lot of herbs in your medicine garden. Even if you reduce a few plants, it won't do any harm! If you have any conditions, I, Lu Chun, will definitely satisfy you!" Seeing Shiba finally standing up, Lu Chun said again Unable to bear it, he hurriedly spoke out.
Hearing this, Shiba was slightly startled and turned sideways...
Lu Chun met Shiba's gaze, and then his eyes widened, and he saw that underneath the black robe, he saw the face of a ferocious evil ghost...
