Chapter 261 Li Chu was extremely angry... [Two in One]
"There is a mole."
A middle-aged man in a white robe and with a square face stood with his hands behind his back, speaking to several young people in front of him.
"Back then, Chaotianque established the Four Directions Prison Suppression Division to connect the four sacred beasts and guard the four directions' immortal artifacts. However, my Xuanwu Prison Suppression Division was actually stolen silently by someone, the Xuanbing Jian, the only immortal artifact in the world that can connect to Xuanwu... It is simply a great shame!"
"There must be a traitor in the Prison Control Department!"
The man in white robe paced back and forth for a few steps, then turned back.
"Fortunately, the aura of the Mysterious Ice Tablet has reappeared. This time, I have brought the three of you who I trust the most to Shenluo City. We must bring the Mysterious Ice Tablet back to the Northern Xuanwu Prison Division safely. If we fail, we will die!"
The man waved his hand heavily, and the wind whistled.
"Commander Dou." A white and tender hand was suddenly raised in front.
"Xuan Nu? What's the problem?"
The man called Commander Dou raised his hand.
A petite, fair-skinned girl with twin ponytails stood up, wearing a plain white skirt and asked, "Should we contact the Shenluo City headquarters?"
"Hmm..." Commander Dou pondered for a moment and said, "This is not a glorious thing after all... and we cannot guarantee that there are no traitors in the Shenluo City garrison. Unless it is necessary, we should not disclose the news to them. If the target gets wind of it and runs away with the Xuanbingjian in advance, it will take us a lot of effort to track him down."
"Commander..."
Another short and fat young man stood up. He was wearing a slightly deformed black suit. He adjusted his belt and said:
"The target's name is Li Chu, and he is a person who has been passed down by the Hangzhou Prefecture Office... He is a mid-level Tianzi! Although he is an alien inheritance without a specific realm, he has a record of killing a powerful Zhan Sui... With the strength of a few of us, is it a bit risky?"
"If we want to fight it, there will indeed be a great risk, but according to my plan..."
Commander Dou smiled slightly.
"Since he doesn't have the Xuanbing Tablet with him, we just need to lure it out and temporarily trap him for a while with the sealing method. At the same time, Xuanxu will go and steal the Xuanbing Tablet. As long as we get it back, we will be done. Then we can go to the Shenluo City garrison to mobilize experts to suppress that person. And now that the Xuanbing Tablet is in our hands, there will be no other risks."
"But..." The short and fat young man seemed to still have some doubts.
At this time, a young man with small eyes and silver hair beside him waved his hand and said, "Xuan Niu, don't worry too much. As long as we follow Commander Dou's plan, we will be able to get the Xuanbing Jian back with no doubts."
They all said so, and the short and fat young man named Xuanniu had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Xuanxu." Commander Dou looked at the silver-haired young man and said, "Tell me what you have found out in the past two days."
"good."
The young man named Xuanxu stood up and said, "The target's public identity is currently the head of a branch of Deyun Temple in the south of Shenluo City, doing some business of exorcism. But after my investigation, I found that some of his actions were quite strange, for example... he kidnapped the head courtesan from a local brothel... So I speculate that his hidden identity... may be a rapist."
"Besides, he is very handsome..." At this point, the silver-haired young man shook his hair, "Almost as handsome as me."
“……” The air was silent for a while.
Seeing that no one was surprised, he continued angrily: "According to our perception, the Xuanbing Jian should have been placed in his bedroom..."
As he spoke, he spread out a simple map of Deyun Temple on the table.
Click on one of the locations.
"I don't know why he stole the Mysterious Ice Tablets... but there must be some ulterior motive... so we must not alert him. However... it seems that he has treated the Mysterious Ice Tablets a little casually, and there are no traces of formations or seals around them. So, as long as I can lure him away, it should be very easy for me to sneak into his bedroom and steal the Mysterious Ice Tablets."
"Are you sure?" Commander Dou seemed a little skeptical. "There is no defense around the Xuanbingjian?"
"I didn't sense it..." Xuanxu nodded, and then said: "At least there is no complicated formation or seal. If it is a simple magic weapon or talisman... hehe." He smiled confidently: "It won't be difficult for me at all."
"good!"
Commander Dou slapped his palm on the table and said, "Let's set up the Dinghai Prisoning Dragon Array with me as the center of the array. Even those at the peak of Zhanxiu and Half-Step Earthly Immortals will need a while to break through the array I preside over. I will definitely buy you enough time."
He looked around: "Does anyone else have questions?"
"I..." The black ox raised his hand timidly.
"explain."
"I'm thinking... if we go directly to his house to ask for it, is it possible that he will be easy to talk to and return the Xuanbing Jian to us?" Xuan Niu whispered.
Commander Dou looked at him with empty eyes and said coldly: "Get lost."
…
It's a nice day today.
There is also peace in Deyun Temple.
Wang Longqi placed a lounge chair in the yard to bask in the long-lost sunshine. Next to him was a small lounge chair, on which lay the fat little dragon lying on his back with his belly exposed.
Lao Du was sweeping the snow nearby.
In comparison, it looks like a hardworking old black cow.
When Li Chu was sitting in the front hall, he was always working in the front yard. When Li Chu was in the bedroom, he was always working in the back yard.
Li Chu, who was sitting quietly in the front hall, would occasionally sigh as he watched the busy Du Lanke.
This is probably the inheritance of the world.
Thinking back to the past... a year ago, when I was still a young Taoist priest, my master would sit in the temple and watch me work.
Now that the master is gone, it is his turn to sit here and watch over his disciples.
In a few years... that is, a hundred or eighty years later... or even longer, when I am no longer around.
It will be their disciples' turn to sit here and watch their disciples work.
Of course, there is no hope for Lao Du.
I might even be responsible for the old-age care and funeral of this apprentice...
Just as my thoughts were flying, I saw a petite girl with twin ponytails wearing a skirt running in hurriedly, shouting as she ran: "Oh no, oh no, Taoist Xiao Li is in trouble!"
Li Chu stood up to greet her, raised his hand and said, "Miss, don't panic, I'm fine."
“No, no…” The little girl waved her hands vigorously. “It’s my house, there’s an evil spirit going on!”
"Oh?" Li Chu raised his eyebrows, "Take me there to have a look?"
There was a gleam of light in the little girl's eyes, and a hint of hidden joy flashed across them.
Then he raised his head and nodded twice.
Li Chu quickly rushed to the scene with the little girl, and learned some basic information in the process.
The little girl's name was Chen Xuannu. According to her, she was a lonely girl with a miserable life... She had never seen her father since she was born, and it was said that his father had traveled far to the west.
My mother also died of illness two years ago.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is that she encountered a ghost at home last night and was frightened, so she came here for help early this morning.
Li Chu didn't think much when he heard it. Even if there was an evil spirit in Shenluo City, there wouldn't be any big guys. He could just kill it with one sword.
But he didn't notice that when they were passing through the noisy streets, there was another pair of eyes looking down from a tall building nearby, watching him coldly as he went away.
On the tall building was the silver-haired young man Xuanxu, the prison warden of Xuanwu Town.
When Li Chu's figure gradually disappeared from sight, Xuanxu waited for a while. Then he pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, and his figure suddenly faded away and turned into a phantom.
He just flew straight over the heads of the pedestrians on the street, and no one saw him.
Under the sunlight, he seemed to be non-existent.
Then it slowly floated down into the backyard wall of Deyun Temple.
No one in the hospital noticed the whole process.
In broad daylight, it feels like entering a deserted place.
He swaggered into Li Chu's bedroom, opened his left hand and printed a silver symbol, and then a faint light flashed.
“It’s actually that simple.”
He smiled with a hint of contempt.
Following the guidance of the symbols, he came to the head of Li Chu's clean and tidy bed, lifted up his neatly folded quilt and pillow, and saw a small secret box under the pillow.
Before opening the secret box, he subconsciously looked up and suddenly saw a talisman above the bed.
A simplest line following talisman.
Thinking that Li Chu should have been trapped in the formation set up by his companions by now, he smiled again and ignored it.
He raised his hand, and a flash of cold light cut the iron lock and opened the secret box.
Then he discovered...
There is another lock under the secret box, and another secret box...
Hmm? Another flash of cold light cut the iron chain.
Then he was surprised to find...
There is another layer of dark box below the dark box...
How afraid must one be of losing something to put so many locks on the bedside...
After complaining silently, he was too lazy to remove the lock and just punched through the bed board with his palm!
Then he discovered...
There was actually nothing underneath the dozen or so secret boxes... It led directly to the bed, and under the bed was a lock to a secret passage...
Depend on.
Xuanxu simply crawled in, stepped on the top of the secret passage, chopped the lock with one palm, and pulled up the iron plate above.
Finally I saw what was under all those heavy iron chains...
It was indeed a magical instrument that exuded an absolute coldness, the Mysterious Ice Tablet. And underneath the Mysterious Ice Tablet… there was actually a lock.
Xuanxu was slightly surprised.
What could be more precious than the Xuanbing Jian? Driven by curiosity, he split the iron lock again, opened the secret box, and found...
in.
It's a title deed.
…
Chen Xuannu's home was not big, just a small courtyard and two low houses.
Li Chu looked around and did not sense any evil spirits. Instead, he felt the presence of another cold aura, which was a bit strange.
He asked, "Miss Chen, where did you see the evil spirit?"
"Uh." Chen Xuannv pointed to one of the short houses, "It's right there."
Li Chu walked in and found it was still clean.
At this moment, the icy atmosphere around him suddenly intensified.
In a tall building not far away, Commander Dou was sitting cross-legged, with Xuan Niu standing next to him, staring at this side nervously.
Seeing Li Chu walk into the courtyard, Xuan Niu hurriedly said: "The target has been trapped!"
"Okay!" Commander Dou shouted, "Start the Dinghai Prison Dragon Formation!"
Buzz——
An arc of light emerged from under his body and landed on the ground with a palm.
Bang——
An invisible ripple suddenly spread out from the courtyard.
It was as if a giant pillar fell from the sky, and the whole courtyard was covered by some invisible energy. It seemed that nothing had happened, but from then on not even a mosquito could fly out.
Even if a powerful being of heaven and earth were trapped in it, it would take a lot of effort to break it.
Although Commander Dou's cultivation was only at the peak of Wanxiang, not yet at the level of Zhansui, he dared to bring these young people to plot and seize the Xuanbing Jian, relying on his attainments in formations!
The most powerful thing about a cultivator is that he can use all sorts of mysterious methods to cover up the shortcomings in his cultivation.
"Huh?"
In the room, Li Chu's expression suddenly changed and he looked to the side.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xuannu looked at him nervously.
Although she had mastered the seal to leave the formation, even though she was the fastest, she was not 100% sure of escaping from Li Chu, who had killed someone in the Zhan Sui realm.
Therefore, once Li Chu realized that the formation had fallen, she would still be in great danger.
Fortunately, Li Chu’s knowledge of formations was almost zero.
The only thing in the world that could make his face change so drastically was not being trapped.
But...
Deyun Temple...was robbed?
Ever since arriving in Shenluo City, he has built a secret compartment at the head of the bed with layers of iron locks, and used a precious talisman to monitor it at all times.
Whenever he was away from home, he would switch his intracranial perspective at a frequency of forty-five times every quarter of an hour to observe the situation in the bedroom at any time.
finally……
Has this day finally arrived?
Suddenly, it seemed as if a blazing flame came out of Li Chu's body, and the little girl next to him was startled.
this……
What is this? "Master Xiao Li, are you...are you okay?" she asked in a trembling voice.
"I have something to do. I'll be back soon." Li Chu said, and moved his right hand finger gestures, "Sword Control Technique."
He was about to find himself trapped in the formation... Chen Xuannu also secretly made finger gestures in her hands, wanting to escape immediately.
Immediately.
Li Chu's eyebrows were raised, his feet were on the flying sword, and he instantly turned into a flying meteor and disappeared into the vast sky.
"Huh?"
Chen Xuannu was stunned for a moment.
Where is the promised formation?
In fact...
The so-called great formation did indeed fall.
As Li Chu was soaring into the sky, he did feel a "puff" sensation.
It was like something that would break at the slightest touch.
But because he was extremely angry, he didn't feel it too carefully and flew past in a hurry.
at the same time.
On top of that tall building.
"puff--"
The Dou commander suddenly spat out a stream of blood and instantly collapsed.
"My Dinghai Prison Dragon Formation was broken?!"
The barrier was fragile for Li Chu, but for him it was a bone-cutting pain and a loss of flesh and blood.
"It's over." Xuanniu on the side murmured.
"Don't be discouraged..." Commander Dou still fulfilled his duties as a leader and comforted him, "Although the first attempt failed, my injury is not serious. We just need to keep trying."
"I mean...Xuanxu is finished." Xuanniu said weakly.
…
Xuanxu was holding the house deed with a very puzzled expression.
I heard two consecutive noises outside.
call out--
call--
I don't know what the noise is.
If he had seen it with his own eyes, he would have known.
This was a person flying extremely fast on a sword. He was afraid of damaging the floor tiles when he landed, so he forced himself to slow down at a low altitude, causing the sound of the wind...
The next second, a figure flashed over the wall and entered the room.
This figure seemed to be carrying a huge shadow, and there seemed to be a strong flame burning in his eyes.
Xuanxu's body suddenly froze.
I felt a fear that seemed to be engraved in my blood from the ancient times.
What is it? What could bring such great terror to people? And then...
He heard a voice that was so angry that it sounded somewhat calm.
"Are you stealing my things?"
There will be a monthly ticket activity in the book review area starting tomorrow. I will adjust the comment fan value to more than 400 later, and then adjust it back to 1 point after the activity is over at the end of the month. Just a reminder.
