Chapter 618: Playing by the rules
Late that night.
Looking at Nanfeng, the mountain temple.
The last time Wei Changtian and his party stopped here was early in the morning, and they did not take a careful look around the temple, so they had the impression that this place was quite bright and righteous.
But now it was midnight, and the temple without a trace of light looked even more eerie.
"Ma'am, we have been waiting here for more than a day."
In a dimly lit side room, Lu Huang lowered his voice and said, "Since we haven't found the fox demon yet, it's better to return to the city as soon as possible to prevent the young master from worrying about you."
“.”
With her eyebrows slightly furrowed, Yang Liushi looked through the crack in the door at the dark main hall not far away, and did not answer immediately.
Just as Lu Huang said, they had already returned to the mountain temple along the same route yesterday afternoon, but they searched inside and outside for a long time but couldn't find the little fox.
Yang Liushi initially thought that the little fox was afraid, so it hid.
So she used illusion to block the two people's breath, trying to make the little fox think that they had left.
However, nearly two days have passed and the latter has still not appeared.
As a fox demon, Yang Liushi knew that foxes were naturally cautious.
So there are only two situations at the moment.
Or maybe the little fox is still worried, so it has been hiding somewhere in the temple and refuses to show up.
Or maybe it's not in the mountain temple at all.
In Yang Liushi's opinion, the latter possibility is more likely.
After all, the little fox should be able to sense that I am also a fox demon. Plus, it gave me the Eclipse Pearl, so it must have some feelings towards me.
Therefore, even if Lu Huang was there, the little fox should not be too frightened, let alone not showing up for two days.
So he was out hunting?
Or did he leave the mountain temple for some other reason?
Yang Liushi couldn't guess, but she understood that if this was really the case, then finding the little fox would be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
But if we leave like this, I'm afraid we won't have any chance. "General Lu, wait another night."
After thinking for a moment, Yang Liushi whispered, "It's not safe to travel in the middle of the night, so why don't we wait in the temple for another night?"
"If the fox demon doesn't show up tomorrow morning, we'll go back to Liangzhou City."
"What do you think?"
"this"
Lu Huang hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently: "In that case, then I will do as Madam says."
"good."
Looking at Lu Huang who looked a little tired, Yang Liushi also felt a little sleepy.
The two hadn't had much rest since they entered the mountain. In order to find the little fox these past two days, they had been concentrating fully, fearing to miss any movement.
If an ordinary person were like this, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago. Even though a cultivator's body functions are far superior to those of an ordinary person, it does not mean that they are immortals who do not need to eat, drink, or sleep. Therefore, it is inevitable that they will feel tired and unbearable now.
"General Lu, please take a rest."
After thinking for a while, Yang Liushi said softly to Lu Huang: "I will keep an eye on the situation in the temple. If anything happens, I will wake you up."
"Madam, don't worry. I'm fine!"
Lu Huang didn't feel comfortable letting Yang Liushi stare at him while he was sleeping soundly.
Not to mention that the latter is Wei Changtian's woman, the difference in their realms alone does not allow him to rest before Yang Liushi.
Since it was a matter of being a third-rank master and a man's dignity, Lu Huang immediately rejected Yang Liushi's suggestion and deliberately put on a relaxed look.
Seeing this, Yang Liushi did not try to persuade him anymore, but turned back and continued to stare at the situation in the main hall.
The side room returned to silence until half an hour later, when “whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~”
The rhythmic snoring came one after another. If the sound in the entire side room had not been blocked by Yang Liushi's magic, I'm afraid the snoring would have been heard throughout the mountain temple.
No matter how hard Lu Huang tried to talk, his physical fatigue would not be relieved in the slightest.
So just now he just wanted to close his eyes and take a few breaths, but he ended up falling asleep.
“.”
Glancing at Lu Huang who was lying on the chair in a disoriented manner, Yang Liushi shook her head helplessly but did not wake him up.
Logically speaking, her cultivation level was not as good as Lu Huang's, and she also had to maintain the illusion, so she should be more tired and sleepy than the latter now.
But in order to find the little fox and find out the details about the Eclipse Pearl, Yang Liushi had been forcing herself not to be distracted for even a second, even though there was a high probability that she would get nothing.
What if the little fox appeared when he was distracted?
You know, the little fox might have been to a place where treasures were hidden. Yang Liushi didn't want Wei Changtian to miss such a great opportunity because of her negligence.
Since you are so good to me, I should consider you even more.
What's more, finding the little fox will be good for her. Thinking of this, Yang Liushi bit the tip of her tongue lightly. The electric shock-like pain immediately made her feel more energetic.
And at this moment, perhaps her persistence finally moved God, a white light suddenly flashed in the dark main hall opposite.
"Um?"
Yang Liushi's eyes suddenly widened and she stood up instantly.
She knew she was not mistaken. There was indeed a long, thin white light that flashed under the feet of the Snow God Statue!
But the white color was not the pure white of the monster's fur, but a pure white like moonlight.
So it can’t be a little fox.
What on earth is that? Regardless of the reason, it is necessary to go to the Snow God Statue to investigate the situation.
However After looking at Lu Huang who was still sleeping soundly not far away, Yang Liushi slowly took a step and walked into the darkness.
If the story followed the clichéd plots in movies and TV shows from previous lives, Yang Liushi would have definitely left Lu Huang behind to investigate the situation alone, and would have naturally encountered a crisis and found herself in danger.
But the reality is not so.
After deciding to find out what happened, Yang Liushi immediately woke up Lu Huang and told him what had just happened.
About an incense stick later, the two of them cautiously left the side room and walked into the main hall of the mountain temple.
"call!"
The fire suddenly appeared, dimly illuminating the surroundings.
Lu Huang casually dismantled a wooden table, mobilized his internal energy to light the two table legs to act as torches, and then he and Yang Liushi held torches and began to carefully explore the location where the white light had just disappeared.
In fact, they had inspected the snow statue several times, but found nothing wrong.
However, when the suspicious scope was further narrowed and the two examined it more carefully, they finally found the abnormality.
"General Lu, look here."
Pointing to a mark at the feet of the statue, Yang Liushi frowned slightly.
Lu Huang came over immediately, took a look and said thoughtfully:
"It's a scratch."
"Scratches? Does that mean something has moved on the statue's pedestal?"
"Yes, and it's heavy."
Lu Huang narrowed his eyes and looked up at the several-meter-tall snow god statue.
"Madam, in my opinion, it is possible that it is the one that is moving."
“.”
Obviously, Lu Huang was not referring to the statue coming to life and moving on its own.
Rather, the statue itself is a huge "door", and something must be hidden underneath it.
If we follow this line of thinking, then there must be some mechanism that can move the statue.
But where is this mechanism? How can we move the statue? "Madam, please step back a bit."
After another fruitless search, Lu Huang suddenly drew his sword from its sheath with a clang.
Yang Liushi knew what he was going to do, but did not dissuade him. Instead, she slowly retreated to the palace gate.
Then, she saw the long sword in Lu Huang's hand suddenly emit a green blade light, and then he slashed at the kind-looking Snow God statue without hesitation.
"boom!!!"
“Crash!!!”
The full-strength attack from a third-rank master was so powerful that the tall but hollow statue could not withstand it. In the blink of an eye, it turned into countless fragments with a loud bang.
As a Taoist practitioner, he destroyed a Taoist statue so casually. From this point of view, Lu Huang is a cruel and ruthless person.
However, Yang Liushi at this moment had no time to think about all these trivial things. Instead, he immediately came to the platform and looked down in the rolling dust.
The statue had been destroyed, and most of the white stone pedestal had been lost.
And among the rubble and tiles, there was actually a dark hole.
