Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 185

Outside the building, the "big master" who was irresistible in the eyes of everyone made a speech. Those people really did not dare to continue to play tricks, and ran away without knowing the current affairs. This was clearly reflected in bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Long Xiaozhao didn't dare to run. He dared to attack the strong with the weak, and he dared to defeat the strong with the few, but that didn't mean he didn't care about life and death. When the gap was too big to a certain extent, cleverness and courage couldn't make up for it.

After a while, Long Xiaozhao knocked on the door anxiously with the so-called "Swallowing Heaven Book" in his arms.

The person who opened the door was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. She looked him up and down, focusing on his belly, and said with a smile: "Please come in."

Long Xiaozhao walked in and saw a man and a woman sitting at the table drinking. A little girl seemed to have been beaten until she was about to die, lying on the bed, looking very pitiful. He couldn't help but feel even more frightened. This man was definitely a big devil. He even beat his own daughter so hard... He nervously stepped forward and saluted, and handed over the "Swallowing Heaven Treasure Book": "Senior, senior... this This is the treasure book you want..."

Xue Mu took it and flipped through it. It was a normal practice method, which emphasized the way of swallowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The level might be pretty good, but he was not interested at all. If he could swallow a stick, he might be able to practice it for girls. You're practicing, why are you swallowing the sky?

He put the book on the table casually and asked curiously: "How come you have obtained the magic skill, why don't you practice it secretly, instead of leaking it and making people hunt you down?"

Long Xiaozhao also stumbled with regret and said: "I usually blow a few words when I drink too much..."

"Blow? I'm afraid that's not true." Xue Mu said lightly: "You are a familiar face from the locals, not a foreigner. A local in this rural town suddenly obtained a mysterious level skill, and others will not ask you where you came from? You have been arguing for a long time. I didn't even hear the questioning, it was just robbing, why is that? Is the other party particularly stupid?"

Long Xiaozhao's expression changed slightly, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

The expressions of Zhuo Qingqing and others also changed, and their delicate hands were already pressed on the hilt of the sword. There is indeed something wrong with this in my mind. The powerful young master is talking about the story of Qingqing Grassland. Why are these things still in his mind?

Xue Mu continued: "Let me guess... It should be that when he was fighting with someone before, he showed his cultivation and combat skills that were far beyond the past, which aroused people's suspicion. So he deliberately used wine to reveal where he had picked up the basic Xuan-level skills. People come to rob it, and you have to fight to the death to protect it but it is taken away. In this way, the secret of your own promotion will be covered up. In fact, you are protecting a higher-level secret, which should be at the earth level at least."

Long Xiaozhao's face turned pale.

Zhuo Qingqing and others were relieved. It didn't matter to them whether others got a greater fortune, as long as there was no conspiracy.

"Don't be nervous. I'm not interested in your creation. You can keep it to yourself." Xue Mu changed the topic and suddenly said: "The river sand is red. Is there iron ore at the bottom of the river?"

The implication is that he does not really suspect that there is a mine, but he suspects that this is caused by some secret realm. Maybe this is the source of Long Xiaozhao's secret. He is very interested in exploring the secret realm.

Long Xiaozhao was dejected. The gap in mental strength was too big, and there was no point in struggling. Since people already have suspicions, it is better to confess honestly to avoid suffering, and simply sat down: "As my senior said, I feel as if I have been followed for more than ten days. There is no point in hiding it anymore. Iron Of course not a mine. The river sand is red and has attracted people to explore countless times for thousands of years. The bottom of the river has been dug long ago, and the mines have been discovered long ago. Besides, if it is dyed by minerals, it should be poisonous, but this sand is not poisonous. It’s useless.”

Xue Mu poured a bowl of wine for him with his own hands: "So?"

"There are no mines at the bottom of the river, but about twenty miles upstream, there is a very hidden entrance to the secret realm. The entrance is covered up by illusion magic and turned into ordinary river sand. It has never been discovered for many years. I don't know if this red river sand is related to the secret realm. There is a connection…”

Weiye couldn't help but ask: "Then how did you find out?"

"One night I was practicing upstream and suddenly felt a stomachache, so I went behind a tree and took a pee... Uh, I'm sorry, little sister, I didn't mean to use harsh words..."

Xue Mu said angrily: "Tell me the important point."

"A ghost figure staggered over and jumped into the river." Long Xiaozhao said: "I originally thought it was jumping into the river, but it didn't look like it, so I kept it in mind and quietly stood there. Wait. Sure enough, he didn't come out all day and night, and there was no corpse floating in the river. Doesn't this mean there is a place to stay down there... I simply waited there without eating or sleeping, and on the third day, he finally left."

Xue Mu clicked his tongue and praised: "Your perseverance and patience are quite good."

"I was starving to death." Long Xiaozhao sighed: "Later I jumped down, and I was lucky. The illusion at the entrance may have just been broken by the person and has not yet healed. I can see a formation. I stood there In terms of the formation, I went in with a swish.”

Zhuo Qingqing said coldly: "I don't know whether to live or die."

"This sister is right." Long Xiaozhao said with a smile: "I was really a little dizzy at that time, and I didn't think about the danger behind such a magic circle. As a result, as soon as I entered, I felt like I had fallen into a dream, and the whole world Everything turned into a dark red color, everything I saw was upside down, a few boxes were floating and spinning in the air, and there were metal, wood, etc. scattered everywhere in the air..."

Metal, wood? Phantom array? Everyone who had just experienced the Xie Changsheng incident was extremely sensitive. Xue Mu's face turned serious: "Then what?"

"No then..." Long Xiaozhao said helplessly: "I really didn't dare to step out of this weird place, so I waited for a box to turn in front of me, opened it and grabbed a handful, and took out three books. The local-level skills, the mysterious-level combat skills, and the Heaven-Swallowing Manual... were gone. Later, I went there a few times, but I couldn't even enter the phantom formation at the entrance. I must have been able to do it after the man left. The array has been restored, but my humble cultivation cannot break it. I really said everything, senior! The earth-level skills are not with me..."

Xue Mu ignored his technique at all and asked: "What does the person you mentioned look like?"

"A tall, thin old man, with a haggard appearance and a pale face... He seems to have been seriously injured. He staggers when walking and is coughing." Long Xiaozhao said: "Now that I think about it, this man's cultivation is unfathomable. If he was not injured, , I’m afraid I would have been discovered long ago if I hid there.”

Xue Mu and Zhuo Qingqing and Luo Qianxue looked at each other and saw the words "Xie Changsheng" in each other's eyes. Regardless of appearance or cultivation level, the time of appearance, the attributes of the secret realm, and the injuries on the body, they almost perfectly match Xie Changsheng.

"This guy didn't go to the Xinyi Sect. The Xinyi Sect may have really taken the blame this time." Xue Mu murmured to himself: "Why did he go south?"

Opening your mouth is the Xinyi Sect? ! Long Xiaozhao swallowed and suddenly realized that these people were not ordinary martial arts masters. He might have encountered a golden thigh!

Zhuo Qingqing said: "Sir, do you want to go to this secret realm?"

"If it's another secret realm, go and see how you feel. This secret realm is obviously a private stronghold of Xie Changsheng and must be investigated!" Xue Mu turned to Wei Ye: "Is there a problem with the Illusion-breaking Array?"

Weiye grinned proudly and said, "Don't hit me in the future, and I will help you break the illusion formation."

In Long Xiaozhao's stunned eyes, Xue Mu pressed Weiye on his thigh and slapped her: "Is there a problem?"

The little girl yelled: "No, no, just go! It's so shameful to be looked at by outsiders!"

He accidentally discovered an important event related to all of them. At this time, no one wanted to stay in the hotel to sleep. Zhuo Qingqing and Luo Qianxue packed up their raincoats, turned to Long Xiaozhao and said: "Please lead the way. If this happens, you will be indispensable." the benefits of."

Wei Ye also followed pathetically, but Xue Mu suddenly called her: "Wait a minute."

Wei Ye turned around to look, only to see Xue Mu sighing, tearing a chicken leg from the barely touched dishes on the table and handing it to her hand, saying softly: "I only focused on being cute all night and didn't eat a bite. , What a little idiot."

Weiye took the chicken leg in confusion, Xue Mu rubbed her little head, and went out first.

Watching Xue Mu's back turn outside the door, Wei Ye suddenly took a bite of the chicken leg and muttered: "Smelly Mu Mu." Then she chased after him: "Wait for me!"
