At this time, Chen Mo had too many doubts in his mind, but he was not in a hurry. If his guess was correct, someone would tell him next.
As soon as the young man finished speaking, the old man he called third uncle came over.
The old man has a kind face and kind eyes, gray hair, and an amiable appearance. He wears the clothes of a Sunset Valley monk. Although he looks about fifty or sixty years old, he can walk at a faster pace than those young people in their prime. No less impressive.
Chen Mo's eyes flashed. What this man was holding were the two storage bags he had lost. Before he could say anything, the old man took the lead and said:
"Which sect does this fellow Taoist come from?"
Sunset Valley and Fuyun Sect were in a fierce battle, and Chen Mo naturally knew it, so he lied and said, "I am a disciple of Thunder Mountain, Zhao Ping."
"Thunder Mountain...hehe," the old man laughed strangely a few times, and said slowly: "Old Monster Geng, who is at the same level as you, has known me for a long time!"
"I have never heard of any strange Geng in our sect. Maybe my Taoist friend remembered it wrong." Chen Mo considered it for a moment and said.
Haha... maybe I remembered it wrong. "
The old man glanced at Chen Mo with a half-smile, and said: "Let's not talk about it anymore. These are two storage bags for Taoist friends. Check to see if you have lost anything."
After that, with a flick of his left hand, Chen Mo's lost storage bag returned to its original owner.
The spiritual power was imprisoned. Even if Chen Mo wanted to check, there was nothing he could do. At this moment, he waved his hand and said: "Zhao can trust these two Taoist friends, so there is no need to investigate."
"Haha, fellow Taoist, please feel free. We don't hide it anymore. We just have one thing to do, fellow Taoist." The old man regained his solemnity and asked seriously: "Did you get tricked into this by that fake chalcedony mushroom?"
"Cheating in..."
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes: "Fellow Taoist, are you saying that this is an illusory formation?"
The old man glanced at Chen Mo in surprise, and then nodded: "So far, it seems like this."
Chen Mo suddenly realized in his heart that the reason why the other party did not kill him was found. There is no point in pretending to be a fool in front of smart people. Chen Mo said tentatively: "I dare to ask two Taoists, but do you need to contribute some strength to break out of the formation?"
Seeing the young man nodding slightly, the old man also stroked his white beard and praised: "Fellow Taoist is really very smart, it is true. The two of us don't want to be trapped here and accomplish nothing, and the same is true for the two fellow Taoists, so the five of us People should join forces and break this formation first."
Chen Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was good that the illusory formation was involved, otherwise it would be such an injustice to be killed inexplicably or turned into a puppet.
"This is natural. We both belong to a noble family and we must help each other."
Chen Mo himself didn't believe what he said, but the two of them were willing to listen to what he said, and he was talking nonsense without conscience.
Chen Mo chatted with the two about some trivial matters in the Forgotten Land, and then suggested walking around.
"Of course, it is safe for the time being, but fellow Taoist, we must rush back here before dark." The old man agreed generously and did not embarrass Chen Mo. However, regarding the ban, both parties had a tacit understanding and never mentioned it.
Chen Mo nodded in agreement and immediately walked towards the depths of the woods. When the old man saw that he had completely disappeared from sight, the smile on his face gradually faded.
"Liu Ke, keep an eye on him and don't make any mistakes." The old man said calmly to the young man beside him.
"Third uncle, you are really troublesome! As far as my nephew can see, if one poison is given, he will have to listen to us in everything!"
The young man named Liu Ke clapped his hands anxiously and argued unwillingly: "There are also those two storage bags. It seems that they contain elixirs and magic weapons. Why should we return them to him and kill him?" Aren’t they all ours?”
"Children's opinion!"
The old man snorted disdainfully: "Poison is really that effective. I have already had countless slaves! Your third uncle and I have countless people. This kind of monk is very arrogant at heart. He would rather die than be threatened by others. It is useless to do so." !”
"Besides, it's easy to kill him, but who will take up the missing part of the spiritual power to break the formation? Can you afford to wait for the next monk to arrive? The top priority is to break the formation, and everything else can be postponed for later."
Liu Ke was speechless after what he said, so he could only hold up his hands and said: "Uncle San is right. It was my nephew who was abrupt."
When the old man saw Liu Ke admitting his mistake, his tone softened a little: "Don't worry, your third uncle, I've left out everything. When I captured him, I had already done some tricks on his storage bag. As long as the formation is Once broken, he will be a piece of fish on our chopping board, ready to be slaughtered!"
"As for the two female cultivators, after everything is done, will you be happy with the one who pretended to be cold and arrogant?! Go!"
The old man's kindness and power made Liu Ke fall to the ground. When he thought of the two beautiful female cultivators who were trapped in the formation, his heart couldn't help but get agitated. He quickly stepped away and secretly observed Chen Mo.
...
Step on the soft leaves and listen to the fragility of life.
This forest is not too big. Chen Mo walked like a mortal in the secular world for half an hour and arrived at the very center of the illusory array. There was nothing but tall and straight trees.
"These two guys have bad intentions."
Chen Mo pretended to rest in front of a tree, but in fact he had already passed through the vitality and felt the prying consciousness a few feet behind him.
"Just now, the old man said that when there were two monks here, the young man's expression changed obviously. There should be a female monk among the two, which suits his taste..."
"You can't have contact with those two monks for the time being, as it will violate their taboos."
Chen Mo knew too few conditions and couldn't analyze anything useful, so he rested for a while, got up and continued moving forward.
According to Chen Mo's understanding, the range of the magic array cannot be infinite. Moreover, this place is not like the cyclic magic array introduced in the classics. He wants to walk around and see.
"what is that?"
After burning the incense, Chen Mo walked. When he was looking for directions, he was surprised to find an altar in the northwest of the forest. He hurriedly walked over.
It was said to be an altar, but there was only a rough outline. The inside had been completely destroyed, and even the stone steps for the sacrifice had been blown to pieces, leaving rubble everywhere.
"Stones can be seen everywhere..."
Chen Mo picked up a stone and observed it, then glanced at the center of the altar. There was an octagonal pattern, and in the center was a pool of debris mixed with stone chips. Due to the age, it had been adhered to the altar. Regardless of each other.
On the right side of the altar, there was a stone tablet about three feet high. It was chopped off in half for some unknown reason. The remaining symbols were incomprehensible to Chen Mo. They were not the characters of Tianyun Continent.
Out of curiosity, Chen Mo spent a stick of incense memorizing them in his mind, preparing to return to the sect to check them out.
Chen Mo walked up to the altar. Chen Mo touched the messy object in the center and twisted it slightly with his hands.
"Fragments of bones... I don't know how many years ago, a monster was really sacrificed here."
Chen Mo felt that his mind was in chaos, and he couldn't figure out the reason, so he looked around and found that it was getting late, so he immediately returned to the original route.
"......That's it."
Liu Ke conveyed to the old man exactly what he saw today.
"It's just wandering around, don't worry about it." The old man obviously didn't pay too much attention and talked about other things: "According to the female cultivator's inference, tomorrow is the day when the blood spider attacks again, so you must be careful. "
"Don't worry, Third Uncle!" Liu Ke nodded, and the two of them set off a ball of fireworks, guarding each other as they slept.
As for Chen Mo, he was leaning against a big tree not far from the fire, so that the two of them could catch him. He seemed to be asleep in a daze.
