Time flies so fast, two days pass so quietly in the blink of an eye.
After the conversation that day, Mu Qing'er's attitude didn't seem to have changed much. She was still talking and laughing with me. I didn't ask too much about it. After all, there were some things that she still needed to digest by herself.
"Chen Zuotang, the entrance to the Human Skin Inn seems to have appeared. The Taoist Association has just gathered its troops, and it seems that the position has been determined. The various sects are also starting to make moves. If we want to get a share of the pie, we can only follow behind. ."
At noon, after receiving the exact news from Lin Tieheng, Lu Yuanming hurried to find me.
"It seems that this time it won't be easy. Let's just wait and see what happens. Don't follow them. Before we determine the real entrance, let those people fight dog-eat-dog first. When the entrance opens, I will use secret techniques to move as fast as possible. Take you in."
I was holding a cigarette and my hands were busy sorting and integrating the stacks of talisman papers of different colors on the table.
This trip must be extremely dangerous. Not only do you have to fight with people, but you also have to fight with monsters and monsters. If you are not fully prepared, it is no different than going to die.
"Chen Zuotang, can I ask you a favor?"
At this time, Lu Yuanming's face suddenly became solemn and his tone was much deeper than usual.
Um?
After listening, I stopped what I was doing, and then asked calmly: "Go ahead, I will try to help as much as I can."
"Chen Zuotang, let me make it clear that no matter whether you can go back alive this time, please take good care of Ling'er."
Lu Yuanming lit a cigarette and looked at me firmly.
"Don't be so pessimistic. As the saying goes, one-third of it is destined by heaven and seven-tenth by yourself. After all, a person's life is in his own hands. Isn't it too unlucky for you to rush to explain what will happen after you haven't even left?"
Seeing that the other person seemed to be hiding something, I quietly felt something was wrong, but there was no emotional reaction on my face. After all, the life and death of others had nothing to do with me.
"To be honest, the reason why I wanted to enter the Human Skin Inn this time was completely selfish. There is something inside that I must get!"
After saying this, Lu Yuanming took out a piece of yellowed and wrinkled paper from his pocket. When he spread it out, there was a strange image drawn on it.
How to describe it?
The shape of the image resembles a flower, but if you look closely, it turns out to be a shriveled corpse. The head is a flower bud, the limbs are branches and leaves, the petals are as bright as blood, and the lines on it are like twisted and ferocious human faces.
"This is?"
Although I have read many records in ancient books on the mountain, this is the first time I have seen the strange image in front of me.
"The human bone and blood flower grows in the place where yin and yang meet, and is nourished by the most filthy air in the world. It is said that eating this flower can revive the bones, shape the flesh and blood, increase the life span for thousands of years, and can shed the mortal body and become an immortal. "
Listening to Lu Yuanming's introduction, I couldn't help but become interested. After all, if there are such wonderful things in the world, then there will definitely be unexpected gains from this trip.
"I'm afraid you're not the only one who knows this, right?"
At this time, I suddenly raised my eyebrows and asked with a smile.
Just kidding, if there is such a strange object in the Human Skin Inn, it is impossible for only Lu Yuanming to know about it. If you think about it carefully, I am afraid that other people's goals also include this thing.
"Of course, this is one of the treasures in the Human Skin Inn. Those old monsters who are dying and running out of life will naturally not let it go. And I just want to keep someone alive. Can you help me?"
At this moment, Lu Yuanming's eyes were different from before, with a firmness and determination in them.
"Hey, that's interesting. I'll try my best to help. Although I don't know who you want to save, it must be a very important person. It seems a bit unreasonable not to help."
After saying that, I continued to fiddle with the talisman and handed Lu Yuanming another cigarette.
"Thank you Chen Zuotang. If you can come back safely this time with human bones and blood flowers, I, Lu Yuanming, owe you a favor!"
When holding the cigarette in his mouth, Lu Yuanming's hands actually trembled.
Time soon came to evening, and after we were fully prepared, we followed Lin Tieheng to the area where the Human Skin Inn is located.
Since people from the Taoist Association and other forces had already set off during the day, they could arrive quickly by following the route they had taken.
"Brother Ninth, I'm a little scared."
In the back seat of the van, Mu Qing'er held my arm and said with a worried expression.
"Silly girl, Brother Ninth won't let anything happen to you."
I smiled and patted Mu Qing'er's head.
"Huh, don't go if you're afraid, otherwise we'll have to be distracted."
At this moment, Lu Linger, who was sitting in the front seat, said abruptly.
"What do you mean by that?"
Hearing this, Mu Qing'er's face suddenly changed.
"It's no fun, just don't hold back."
Lu Ling'er didn't know what kind of gunpowder he had taken, which made Lu Yuanming and I feel embarrassed for a while.
"Let's see who holds back who!"
Mu Qing'er was also aroused and lost her temper, and she immediately started fighting with the opponent.
In this regard, Lu Yuanming and I chose to remain silent.
Because in this situation, it is useless for anyone to persuade them. The problems between women have to be solved by themselves. Men’s intervention will only be detrimental to the situation and add fuel to the fire.
An hour later, Lin Tieheng slowly parked the car in the woods somewhere.
"Guys, I can only send you here. According to the source, the Taoist Association's gang entered through here. The yin energy here is very strong, so be careful."
Lin Tieheng turned around and said to us.
"Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Lin. We will handle the rest ourselves."
I got out of the car slowly and shook my black and gold jacket.
At this moment, there was suddenly a very strong aura emanating from the perception, and the number of sources was huge.
"Friend Lu, go east, there are people there."
As the six immortals on my body used their magic power at the same time, my five senses were infinitely amplified at this moment, and waves of surging power shuttled through my limbs and bones.
From this moment on, I entered a fully armed state, for no other reason than to prevent danger from coming.
What we are about to face are the people from the Taoist Association and other sects. Once we come into contact, we will definitely take action.
"Set off!"
Lu Yuanming understood it, picked up the money sword and walked into the woods first.
Then, the four of us slowly disappeared deep into the woods amid a rustling sound.
"Oh, old road, is it worth it for a woman..."
After a long time, Lin Tieheng, who stood there, shook his head and sighed helplessly.
At the same time, in a dimly lit dense forest, a group of people in formal attire were marching quietly, and leading the way were three men with extraordinary looks.
