Chapter 185: Give Him a Trick
Li Chu nodded slightly in response to Huo Zhuge's enthusiastic greeting. This was considered a relatively enthusiastic response from him.
Huo Zhuge breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Chu's attitude was also quite peaceful.
Born in a demon sect, he had seen many disputes over treasures since he was young. Not to mention cultivators he had never met before, even fellow disciples would kill each other for enough benefits.
But obviously, Li Chu would not do such a thing.
Huo Zhuge couldn't help but sneer in his heart. These people who claimed to be righteous were too virginal. Countless people died because of this.
In this secret realm, there is no sky above and no ground below, and there is no one around. If you meet a strange cultivator, wouldn’t it be great to just kill and rob him? But even if you think this way, you still have to keep a smile on your face.
"Yangzhou Prefecture Shenhuo Temple, Zhuge Yan." Huo Zhuge bowed and skillfully made up a pseudonym, "What's your name?"
Of course, Li Chu had never heard of the Shenhuo Temple, but he was born in a small town Taoist temple, so he would not look down on others for this reason, so he answered politely:
"Deyun Temple, Li Chu."
Then, Huo Zhuge said, "You were the first one to kill the spirit, so you should take the treasure. You don't have to be polite."
Although Li Chu had always planned to do so, he felt a little embarrassed by the other party's politeness.
"It was you and I who attacked at the same time. It would be a bit too much for me to take the treasure alone..."
"Don't be polite to me! What belongs to you is yours!" Huo Zhuge waved his hands vigorously.
According to his experience in the martial arts world, if Li Chu took this treasure, then it would be fine. If Li Chu did not take it, it would be dangerous.
Who knows if he deliberately gave himself a big one?
"this……"
The other party's attitude was so good that Li Chu was a little hesitant.
Then Huo Zhuge laughed again and said, "To be honest, I came to this demon Taoist immortal treasure house specifically to find a specific treasure. Apart from that treasure, I don't care about other things. Why not give it to Taoist friends, and make friends and establish a bond with them."
Li Chu didn't say anything more, just glanced at Huo Zhuge, nodded and said: "Brother Zhuge is generous."
After saying that, he stepped forward and took away the talisman that was shining with golden light.
There are complicated and mysterious symbols painted on the talisman, and I don’t know what its specific function is. I can ask someone when I get back.
Huo Zhuge watched Li Chu put away the talisman and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would let the little Taoist priest go this time, but would kill him the next time he met him.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Li Chu suddenly turned around.
Huo Zhuge's heart immediately skipped a beat.
Fortunately, Li Chu only asked: "Brother Zhuge, do you know anything about this secret realm?"
"Uh." Huo Zhuge didn't know what he meant, so he could only answer: "I don't know much..."
Li Chu said: "I came here to find a piece of Luck Gold Rainbow, which is extremely important to me. However, this secret realm is so vast that I don't know where to find it, so I want to ask, Brother Zhuge, do you know this thing?"
Zhuge Yan was the first person he met since entering the secret realm, and he was a generous and open-minded person, so he wanted to find out more about him.
Huo Zhuge was about to shake his head and even wanted to give him three consecutive rejections.
I don’t know, I haven’t seen it, get out of here.
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly had an idea.
Alas.
Although this young Taoist priest has a high level of cultivation, he is still a rookie in terms of martial arts experience. Why don't I go with him and teach him a lesson about the dangers of the martial arts world? Thinking of this, Huo Zhuge smiled slightly: "If it is something else, I don't know. As for this golden rainbow of luck, I have actually seen it somewhere before. But the virtual spirit is running back and forth, and the direction is a bit uncertain. Why don't I take Brother Li to look for it?"
"May I?"
Li Chu was a little surprised. You know, in this secret realm, you could get new treasures every minute and every second. And this person was willing to waste time to accompany him to find things. This was really selfless...
"No problem." Huo Zhuge said, "The thing I'm looking for is elusive, so there's no rush. But the Golden Rainbow of Luck may not be far away. If we go too late, we might miss it!"
When Li Chu heard this, he didn't say much, just thanked him and immediately went on the road with him.
Huo Zhuge led Li Chu around the hillside, recalling the large virtual spirit he had just encountered, and said, "But Brother Li, you need to be careful. There are many treasures in this secret realm, and not all the virtual spirits generated are so fragile."
"Some magical instruments with strong offensive power can generate extremely warlike spirits. Some spiritually powerful treasures can generate spirits that are at a level comparable to the upper three realms!"
"You are looking for the Golden Rainbow of Luck, which is also a good treasure. The Void Spirit I saw just now was extremely powerful. If not for this, I would not have let it go."
Hearing this, Li Chu said calmly: "Brother Zhuge, don't worry. I will just do my best."
Soon, the two came to a deep cave.
Huo Zhuge pretended to say, "I seemed to see the ghost disappear near here before. I wonder if it entered this cave."
Li Chu said: "We'll know once we go in and take a look."
After saying that, he walked into the cave first.
Since others are helping him, there is no reason for him to let others explore the way first.
Huo Zhuge sneered secretly behind Li Chu.
Look carefully, and see how the Feng Shui is here. This will be your burial place later! He knew in his heart that there was absolutely no luck gold rainbow here. But in the cave, there was another powerful virtual spirit!
In that short moment just now, he had already planned the overall situation in his mind.
Li Chu would encounter the spirit in the cave. While they were fighting, he would use his most powerful weapon, a bronze demon puppet, to give Li Chu an ultimate backstab.
hehe.
In the dark cave, Huo Zhuge couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips when he thought about how he could come up with such a perfect plan just by thinking of it.
Suddenly, there was a roar!
"roar--"
Appeared! Their intrusion really angered the spirit in the cave.
There was a loud rumbling sound, as if a surging tide was rushing in! And this cave only had one straight passage!
It seems that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road!
Bang——
A huge head popped out in an instant.
The ferocious face as black as ink, with dragon horns, lion body and fish scales, what rushed out was actually a black unicorn!
The rank of this virtual spirit is indeed much higher than that of the pony and the wild boar.
Li Chu remained calm and drew his sword slowly.
Without further ado, he faced the aggressive black unicorn with a sword! At the same time...
Behind him, Huo Zhuge also saw the opportunity, stretched out his evil hands, and sacrificed a palm-sized puppet! It's now, hesitation will lead to defeat! But seeing that the puppet was cast in dark copper, holding a sledgehammer, it was lifelike but also evil.
Huo Zhuge instantly squeezed out a trace of blood from his fingertips and dotted it on the bronze demon puppet's brow, then he made a hand gesture with his left hand and threw it out.
boom--
In an instant, the piercing roar of the sword-energy red dragon, the terrifying roar of the black unicorn... completely covered up the sound coming from behind.
A two-meter-tall dark copper puppet, holding a huge hammer, appeared above Li Chuhou almost silently.
A hammer! It fell heavily!
Boom boom
The loud noise continued, the sword energy wrapped around the black unicorn, the red light and black energy instantly entangled together, and in a breath, they disappeared at the same time.
At this moment, the hammer also hit Li Chu's shoulder! It's done!
Huo Zhuge's heart was lifted, this hammer was comparable to a full-strength attack from a warrior in the upper three realms, and it was definitely not something a cultivator's body could resist!
but……
The next moment, something happened that made his pupils constrict.
After the hammer landed on Li Chu, it didn't stop at all, just like a brittle twig, breaking in an instant!
Not only did it break, it also bounced back!
The speed is incredibly fast.
Huo Zhuge was already extremely surprised. When he saw the broken hammer flying towards him, it was too late for him to jump and dodge.
Bang.
With a dull thud, the sledgehammer hit him hard at the base of his thigh.
Snap! The next second, the bronze demon puppet and the broken hammer actually shattered into pieces... turning into dust.
You know, these were made by the Demon Sect’s top puppeteer... It’s hard to imagine how powerful the recoil force was!
This little Taoist priest... is he still a human?
The dust has settled.
After the black unicorn dissipated, it turned into a black Mo Dao, which was vaguely murderous and definitely not an ordinary weapon.
Unfortunately, it’s not the Golden Rainbow of Fortune.
Li Chuxian did not go to get the Mo Dao, but turned back because he just felt someone patted him on the back.
He thought Huo Zhuge wanted to call him for something.
As a result, when I turned around, I saw...
Huo Zhuge knelt on the ground, his face full of misery, tears in his eyes, and he clenched his teeth tightly...
It felt like I had experienced the most painful thing in the world.
Li Chu was stunned for a moment, "Brother Zhuge, what are you doing?"
"I……"
Huo Zhuge tried hard not to let his tears fall.
He wanted to say.
I was knocked to my knees by the broken hammer of the bronze demon puppet, and now the upper part of my right leg is completely shattered. Moreover, the demonic energy and evil spirit are running rampant in the wound, making it impossible for my true energy to repair the wound. Please save me...
But he couldn't say.
After a moment's silence, he said loudly, "I am ashamed!"
"I let Brother Li enter this cave and put him in danger, but in the end he didn't find the Golden Rainbow of Fortune... I am so ashamed!"
"Only kneeling down can alleviate my guilt a little."
“…”
Li Chu was stunned when he heard this.
Good job.
This person's sense of responsibility is a bit too strong...
He hurried forward to help Huo Zhuge up, and consoled him: "Brother Zhuge, don't mind it. You are helping me out of righteousness. If it's not here, just look for it somewhere else. Why do you have to do this..."
When Huo Zhuge stood up, Li Chu felt something strange again when he looked at his limping leg.
Huo Zhuge saw his puzzled look and said hurriedly, "My kneeling is numb."
"Are you okay?" Li Chu said, "I have a healing technique that is quite effective..."
"That's not necessary!"
Huo Zhuge naturally didn't dare to let Li Chu check his injuries, otherwise how could he explain the source of the injuries? In order not to arouse Li Chu's suspicion, he gritted his teeth and stomped his right foot heavily!
Bang, bang.
"Look, I'm fine." He said in a crying voice.
"I'm glad you're okay..." Li Chu nodded, and then wondered, "Brother Zhuge, why are you crying?"
"I'm still ashamed!" Huo Zhuge endured the piercing pain and said with a forced face: "Stop talking, let's go to the next place quickly, I must help you find the treasure you want!"
Li Chu couldn't help but be slightly moved.
Is this what it means to be a child of Jianghu? Righteous! (End of this chapter)
