Xiang Shen asked himself that he had never let down his guard, but he was still being plotted without noticing.
Now that she was thinking about it, she immediately saw Lu Zhu's little moves clearly.
There was a constant chatter in her ears, and no matter how sharp she was, she would inevitably be distracted from her thoughts and interrupt her thinking.
Lu Zhu did this on purpose. What was his purpose?
The most direct purpose was most likely to cover up something. In other words, he must have made some small moves to scare himself.
The two of them were in a hurry as they entered the city. Lu Zhu had no room for action and could only take action after arriving at the inn.
After entering the inn, Lu Zhu only talked to the innkeeper and the waiter.
Xiang Shu thought back carefully and immediately noticed details that he had never noticed before.
When Lu Zhu told the waiter in the shop, her body seemed to be a little tighter than before. She didn't notice it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, it was clearly a sign of guilty conscience.
But the few words he said were reasonable and there were no problems.
But if there is no problem, why is he feeling guilty?
Xiang Shen was puzzled, so he had to put down his thoughts for the time being, quickly cleaned himself up, jumped out of the bathtub, and put on the black outfit prepared by the waiter.
The waiter in the shop saw that he had really good eyesight, and the fresh clothes fit him perfectly. He nodded slightly with satisfaction, used his true energy to steam dry his hair, tied it up in a high bun, and walked away.
Returning to the room where Lu Zhu was, Xiang Shen pushed the door open and went in. He saw Lu Zhu leaning over the table in a daze in front of a table of wine and food.
Hearing someone opening the door, Lu Zhu woke up immediately. He stood up and saw Xiang Shen coming in from the door. He subconsciously smiled and praised: "Brother Shen, you are much more energetic than before!"
Xiang Shen paused slightly and said in surprise: "You still call me eldest brother?"
Women were not welcome at the boat dock, so in order to get on the boat, she had to pretend to be a scholar.
Until now, she naturally had no need to hide the identity of the female cultivator, but she didn't expect that Lu Zhu didn't recognize her.
Xiang Shu touched the scar on his face and didn't bother to correct it. He walked over and sat down. He picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into the bowl opposite. "Tell me, how much do you know about the situation in Xuanwang City?"
Lu Zhu understood the idea and ate the meat without saying a word. At the same time, he replied: "I don't know the specific situation. But Xuanwang City is also a famous place. It is an ancient city. I heard that it is associated with an ancient mysterious sect that is good at puppet formation. There are relationships."
Lu Zhu then tasted the other dishes on the table while continuing to narrate: "Many years ago, a monk in the alchemy stage was chasing an enemy and accidentally discovered Xuanwang City. Unexpectedly, he failed to kill the enemy, but because of his murderous intention, he was exposed. Locked by the formation in the city, it was instantly wiped out!
After this incident was spread by the enemy of the casual cultivator, Xuanwang City became famous. Up to now, it has become one of the busiest gathering places for casual cultivators. "
"So, as long as you enter Xuanwang City, no one will dare to take action?"
Xiang Shu took a bite of the glutinous rice cake and asked in surprise: "Then where does the danger you mentioned come from?"
"The danger is not inside the city, but outside it."
Lu Zhu's face darkened, "Looking at the last mile outside the city, there are many people squatting here hoping to kill people and seize the treasure. I racked my brains and can't think of a way to get through safely."
Xiang Shen nodded slightly thoughtfully, and after eating silently and intently for a while, he suddenly said, "Is there a Xiuzhenfang City in Lu State?"
Lu Zhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes, there are several fixed Sanyefang cities that are recorded by the royal family. Brother Shen, do you want to buy something? Why don't you tell me, I might have one here. "
As he spoke, he touched the storage ring, took out a bottle of elixir and pushed it in front of Xiang Shu, "Brother, this elixir is produced in the Alchemy Hall of Blazing Flame Sect. It has mild and pure medicinal power. It is of the highest quality. You might as well try it."
After saying that, Lu Zhu lowered his head and took a mouthful of rice, but his eyelids secretly lifted from time to time, as if observing Xiang Shu's reaction.
Xiang Shen's heart moved slightly, but he remained calm on the surface. He took the elixir bottle and uncorked it, sniffed it, then nodded and said, "Not bad."
She had been in Dangchen Peak for two months and had never had the opportunity to come into contact with the elixir. Naturally, she had no way of knowing whether the elixir came from the Blazing Flame Sect's Alchemy Hall.
However, the previous doubts were solved.
She once asked about the whereabouts of the Blazing Flame Sect team in the mountains. Lu Zhu was afraid that he would be deceived by the Blazing Flame Sect members again, so he kept testing her details.
However, speculation is still speculation and needs to be verified.
Since Xiang Shu picked up the elixir bottle, Lu Zhu had been secretly watching his actions, but from the beginning to the end, there was no surprise or disdain on Xiang Shu's face. It was as calm as a pool of water, deep and unpredictable.
He couldn't tell whether this person had ever come into contact with Blazing Flame Sect elixirs before!
Lu Zhu was disappointed and was about to think of other ways to continue testing, but saw Xiang Shen suddenly stop using his chopsticks.
"Brother, I suddenly thought of a question and want to ask you."
Xiang Shen raised his head and looked at Lu Zhu with a half-smile, "I heard someone say before that you monks who are related to the sect know a unique body cleansing spell. You don't need to take a bath to keep yourself clean. , yes or no?”
Lu Zhu's expression changed drastically, his figure trembled, and the chopsticks slipped from his hands and fell to the ground with a clatter.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Cold sweat fell from his forehead. Not long after Lu Zhu was shocked, he forced a smile on his face and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, what you are talking about... I don't know very well. I am a prince from a small country, how can I know those big sects?" Is there any magic spell?"
"That's it..."
Xiang Shu confirmed what he was thinking, curled up the corners of his lips, and continued to eat vegetables slowly.
After taking two bites, she saw that Lu Zhu was still sitting stiffly. She tapped the table with her chopsticks and said with a smile: "Why are you standing there? Eat, have a good night's rest after eating, and tomorrow you will lead the way to the nearest Xiuzhenfang City." "
Lu Zhu nodded blankly and mechanically picked up the chopsticks to eat.
After eating, he went back to the next room and sat down. His scattered pupils recovered a little, and his consciousness returned a little. The panic, shame and anger, fear, grievance...all kinds of emotions came up at once, and tears instantly blurred his vision.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Lu Zhu wiped his tears frantically while introspecting frantically in anger, "Lü Zhu, why are you crying? It's useless for you to claim that you are so clever and resourceful that you can't even defeat a casual cultivator. You are just a waste! A waste!"
No matter how he wiped his tears, he couldn't stop them. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he just ignored it and Meng cried loudly under the quilt.
His cries were so pitiful that even Xiang Shu, who was studying "Apparition" next door, couldn't help but start to doubt himself. Had he really gone too far?
But then again, why should she have to endure being tempted? A little warning wouldn't be too much, right?
Thoughts passed by in a flash, Xiang Shen ignored it and continued to study "Transformation" with concentration.
An hour later, Lu Zhu sat up after venting his anger and looked at a large area of wetness on the bed. He looked slightly embarrassed, then angry.
This person Shen Xiang is really disgusting!
The moment his thoughts were revealed, he felt so panicked that he even thought about where Shen Xiang would bury him after killing him.
But Shen Xiang only mentioned it, and then continued to eat as if nothing happened.
Play him like this! So...bad!
Lu Zhu was so angry that he hammered the bed hard and then lay down again holding the pillow.
Perhaps it was because Xiang Shen's attitude of only revealing his thoughts without blaming others was akin to connivance, but he felt an illusion of stability inexplicably.
"Lu Zhu, Lu Zhu, what are you thinking about? You really are getting more and more alive."
Lu Zhu muttered bitterly, and while he was thinking wildly, he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep quickly.
Xiang Shu had no intention of sleeping.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, put the old book aside, eliminated distracting thoughts, and sat quietly for a moment. Her hands suddenly floated to her chest, and she formed a seal in a strange way.
Small floating shadows of seals flew out from the palms and lingered around. Xiang Shu's movement suddenly accelerated, and his hands turned into afterimages. One seal after another flew out, faintly forming an illusory talisman.
But before the talisman could take shape, Xiang Shu made a sudden movement, and all the talismans dissipated instantly.
Failed.
Xiang Shu's face was not disappointed, but looked slightly upbeat.
Having experience in practicing "Death", she originally thought that "Transformation" would not be easy to master, and it would take a lot of time just to understand the key.
After some study, Xiang Shu discovered that this secret method was much simpler than "Death". It only took an hour to comprehend it, and she no longer had any doubts in her mind.
She felt that there was not much real energy left in her body, so she immediately took a spiritual pill, swallowed it, and continued to try.
Two hours later, a transparent talisman finally condensed successfully.
With a thought in Xiang Shen's mind, the talisman suddenly turned into a mysterious light and disappeared into his face.
The next moment, Xiang Shu felt his face start to heat up and feel a dull pain. Some secret meridians were opened under the action of the talisman, and fine drops of blood gradually overflowed from the pores.
After a short wait, the pain subsided and the blood stopped flowing.
Xiang Shen stood up and wiped the blood off his face, sat in front of the dressing table, and tried to connect the talisman. The face in the mirror really began to change.
Xiang Shu felt relieved.
She also didn't expect that it would be so easy to complete the first level of "Transformation", and it only took less than four hours.
As a result, Elder Yuan would never be able to find him in a short time.
But this scar on my face...
Xiang Shu pressed the blood scab on his face, which felt a little stiff.
She originally thought of keeping this scar to hide her face, but now that she has mastered the secret technique, she is going to Xuanwang City, and she is afraid of attracting attention, so it is not the time to worry about Lingquan.
Thinking of this, Xiang Shen took out the gourd, poured out some spiritual spring, and applied it to the scar on his face.
Within a moment, the scar began to itch. With a gentle touch from Xiang Shu, the centipede-like bloody scab fell off, leaving only a large pale white mark. After waiting for a while, the white mark disappeared.
Xiang Shu looked at the overly beautiful face in the mirror and began to adjust his facial features little by little until it became an ordinary face. Then he gave up and went to rest.
The next day, Lu Zhu got up early and went downstairs, bringing breakfast and knocking on Xiang Shu's door.
With a creak, the door opened.
"Brother Shen...eh?"
As soon as Lu Zhu finished speaking, he saw a woman opening the door, and he froze on the spot.
