On the second day, on the way to Xinyao City.
Since the morning, Mu Yunjin has been feeling stuffy in her chest, as if something was jumping up and down in her body, making her uncomfortable for a while.
After thinking about it, it must be the ghost of the so-called soul of the black lotus.
It's really unlucky, I have no reason, why did I get involved in this kind of thing, if I wait until I see the old Taoist, and they want her to be ripped open, then what should I do.
"What are you thinking?" Chu Li looked away at Mu Yunjin, seeing her caressing her heart from time to time since she set off, her brows furrowed slightly.
Mu Yunjin curled her lips and shook her head, "It's nothing."
Chu Li was silent for a moment.
After an unknown amount of time, when the carriage arrived at the gate of Xinyao City, it was stopped by the guards guarding the city.
Ding Xian sat outside and drove the car. When the guard who was waiting for investigation approached, he took out a token and handed it to the guard.
The guard took the token, glanced at it, his face changed, and immediately bowed to Ding Xian to give a gift, and then he said in a somewhat embarrassed way, "The city lord has an order, no matter who enters Xinyao City, everyone must Check them out one by one, including some... noblemen."
Ding Xian has been to Shenyao City several times with Chu Li, so he naturally knows the rules of Shenyao City. At this time, Ding Xian leaned close to the curtain of the carriage and said to the inside, "Master, Shenyao City is here."
"Hmm." Chu Li's clear voice came from inside, and then, a hand with strong bones stretched out from the curtain of the car, holding a jade bead in its palm.
When the guard saw the jade bead, he immediately understood, bent down and made a gesture of 'please', and then said to the guard at the door, "Open the city gate!"
The carriage slowly drove into Xinyao City.
Leaning against the carriage, Mu Yunjin took the jade bead from Chu Li's hand curiously, put it in his hand, and asked, "What is this?"
"Qu Xinyao's stuff." Chu Li said.
Hearing this, Mu Yunjin nodded, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Chu Li gossipingly, "You also have friendship with Qu Xinyao?"
"No." Chu Li shook his head, and added, "Yesterday, before Xu Heyu left, I gave it to my prince."
"So that's how it is. This Xinyao City is really different from the other cities." It's rigorous enough to go through the gates one by one, and I don't know how the people here are.
Thinking of this, Mu Yunjin lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.
After not seeing the scene she expected, Mu Yunjin sat up, stretched her body a little further, and looked at the road ahead.
I saw that the distance traveled by the carriage at this time became more and more remote.
"Are we going to find that old Taoist first?" After Mu Yunjin sat down, she looked at Chu Li.
"Um."
When she heard that she was going to find that Taoist first, Mu Yunjin became inexplicably nervous. After taking a breath of relief, she sat there quietly, motionless.
Suddenly, another thing came to mind.
If he successfully deciphered the formation and rescued Concubine Rong, would the Huangyu Pavilion that he took over now be returned to Concubine Rong
If this is the case, it is indeed a good thing. After all, I have limited abilities now, and it is still a bit of pressure to take over such a large mysterious organization.
Besides, those are...
Half man, half beast.
She can't handle it at all!
…
After the carriage entered the city, it drove for about half an hour, and finally stopped in front of a particularly remote thatched cottage.
Mu Yunjin almost fell asleep in the carriage. After getting out of the carriage, she looked around and found that she was in a land where not a single blade of grass grew, and half of the roof of the small grass house in front of her was dilapidated. It was so broken that it felt like it was about to collapse at any moment.
"Is there someone living here?" Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin, "Go ahead."
The three of them walked into the thatched hut together, when they reached the door, Ding Xian knocked lightly, and after a long while without hearing an answer, he slowly pushed open the door of the thatched hut.
"Squeak, bang—" There were two voices in succession, and just after the door was pushed open, the wooden door fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Mu Yunjin frowned, and muttered "No place". When I looked inside, I saw that there was nothing else in the thatched cottage except a pile of dry grass on the ground.
In the haystack, an old man in a gray robe sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, as if he was meditating.
At this time, no one spoke.
Mu Yunjin kept staring at the old man, seeing that his clothes were torn, his white hair was tied up with a piece of cloth at random, and the shoes under his feet had already been torn several times.
Such a ragged man, no matter how he looks like a wanderer, how could he be a Taoist who is deeply trusted by Chu Li.
How strange.
After standing for a long time, Mu Yunjin's legs felt a little sore. She looked around and saw that the ground under her feet was made of mud. She couldn't find a place to sit for a long time, and felt helpless.
"Little girl can't stand anymore?" A voice mixed with jokes came.
Mu Yunjin looked towards the source of the voice, and saw the old Taoist who was meditating with his eyes closed, now with one eye open, looking up and down Mu Yunjin, with a trace of mockery in his eyes.
Seeing that the old Taoist looked at her with unfriendly eyes, Mu Yunjin snorted, "You have been sitting by yourself for so long, why do you call me standing?"
"Hehe, you still dare to talk back?" The old Taoist smiled contemptuously, and suddenly a gust of air flew out of his sleeve, sweeping towards Mu Yunjin.
Seeing this, Ding Xian on the side was about to step forward, but Chu Li stretched out his hand to stop him.
Mu Yunjin had no fear of the airflow that was directly approaching her, and easily dodged to dodge. Just after standing still, two more airflows came towards her.
Mu Yunjin dodged them one by one, and when she stopped, she suddenly became angry, pulled out the phoenix tail whip from her wrist, and raised it in the palm of her hand, "Smelly old man, are you sick?"
Hearing the words, the old Taoist raised his eyelids, his eyes showed a gleam of light, he raised his wrist, splashed a few gravels on the ground, and hit Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin bit her lip, her face tensed, seeing that the old Taoist was so rude to her, she simply didn't have any scruples.
After waving the whip in his hand, Mu Yunjin smashed the gravel one by one, swung the whip, and hit the old Taoist in the air.
The old Taoist didn't even lift his eyelids, and continued to maintain the posture of cross-legged meditation. When Mu Yunjin's whip fell, his body moved back and forth, his face was leisurely, and he didn't even blink his brows.
The whip that Mu Yunjin swung down missed a few times, and suddenly she was furious, this old man deliberately teased herself.
"Your whipping skills are still a bit weak, not qualified to fight with me." The old man suddenly raised his eyelids, his tone was full of contempt and contempt.
Mu Yunjin went crazy.
The hand holding the whip was suddenly infused with true energy by her, a faint purple light flashed around the Phoenix-tailed whip, Mu Yunjin raised her chin and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Old man, wait a minute, don't say I don't respect the old. "
As the words fell, Mu Yunjin saw the phoenix-tailed whip flying in her hand, and waved it towards the old Taoist with a sound like a gust of wind.
The old Taoist originally wanted to dodge, but Mu Yunjin had already made preparations. She raised the whip in one hand, and condensed her true energy with the other hand to fight towards the old Taoist. The true energy entangled around the old Taoist, making the old Taoist's body unable to move for a while. He took a solid whip.
"Ouch—" the old Taoist who was whipped by the phoenix tail cried out in pain.
When Mu Yunjin's second whip was about to fall, Chu Li at the side stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold the whip, and stopped Mu Yunjin's behavior.
Mu Yunjin glanced at Chu Li, and seeing him shaking his head towards her, she curled her lips, put away the phoenix tail whip, and wrapped it around her wrist.
"Little girl, it's not bad. If you have a few tricks, why don't you be my apprentice?" The old Taoist caressed the place where he had been whipped for a while, and teased Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin stared at the old man, eyes full of disgust, "You may not even beat me, how dare you be my master?"
"Tch, I let you in on purpose, and you've already pushed your nose to the sky, but the exercises you just performed are not ordinary." The old Taoist looked at Mu Yunjin and said meaningfully.
Mu Yunjin was taken aback for a moment, her expression was a little stalemate, she almost forgot that she seemed to have just used the method of condensing Qi in the Xuanling Scripture in a hurry.
dying…
Chu Li also glanced at Mu Yunjin, his eyes darkened slightly, seeing that the old man and Mu Yunjin were almost teasing each other, he said slightly, "Senior Fengxuan, the soul of the black lotus was drawn out yesterday, and now it is in Yunjin in the body."
When the old Taoist named Fengxuan heard it, he was immediately amused, and he leaned back with a smile, "You mean, the soul of the black lotus is in this girl's body?"
Chu Li nodded.
"Hahahaha, ouch, it's so funny. I was just worried about getting revenge after being whipped, and this girl came to my door by herself." Taoist Fengxuan couldn't restrain his smile.
Mu Yunjin bit her lip, resisting the urge to lash the old man a few more times, and said with a straight face, "Be serious, hurry up and tell me how to get this black lotus soul out of my body?"
"Hmph." Taoist Fengxuan snorted and said with his lips curled up, "Girl, this black lotus soul is not a simple thing. If you don't draw it out in time, it will fuse into your blood and make your body The blood turned black like ink, and then died miserably... "
Mu Yunjin's heart trembled, she frowned, and simply ignored Taoist Fengxuan, she turned to look at Chu Li, with a bitter face, "Chu Li, it's all your fault..."
Seeing her flattened face, Chu Li couldn't laugh or cry, and looked at Daoist Fengxuan with a half-smile, "Senior Fengxuan, please point out a way out."
"It's very simple, let this girl worship me as a teacher, and I will teach her the skills to break the formation. After she is done, she will break the formation." Taoist Fengxuan said.
After saying that, Taoist Fengxuan glanced at Mu Yunjin, and added, "My old way's skills are all unique, if this girl doesn't ask me to be her teacher, she won't let my old way teach you the way to break the formation. "
"How about it, little girl, do you want me to be your teacher?" Taoist Fengxuan raised his eyebrows proudly.
Mu Yunjin gritted her teeth and stared at Daoist Fengxuan intently. Why is this old man so annoying!
To worship him as a teacher, his sloppy appearance, doesn't seem like someone who can teach disciples, no wonder the black lotus came from him, it's not a serious thing...
