Chapter 338 The Taoist priest got it, but I can’t? [Thanks to “Baiyun Zhizhi” for becoming the leader of this book]

Li Chu's soul returned to the inn and found that his body had been tied up by layers of white spider webs.

But in just a short moment, the other three spider spirits all came into his room.

The last three spider spirits all came for some unspeakable reasons, but when they entered Li Chu's room, they saw the corpses of small animals all over the floor...

"Eldest sister! Second sister! Seventh sister!"

In addition to these corpses, there are three spiders that are immobilized.

After exclaiming for a while, they simultaneously directed their attacks at the little Taoist priest on the bed.

Although he didn't seem to move, there was no one else here. They first imprisoned Li Chu, and Li Chu's soul returned.

He slowly opened his eyes.

He was met with six shocked and angry eyes.

"Little Taoist priest...did you do all this?" a spider spirit shouted.

"No." Li Chu denied it flatly.

He tried to move his wrists, but felt that the spider silk binding him was a little fragile and could be easily broken free, so he did not rush.

"There is no one here except you! Can you still deny it?" another spider spirit said angrily, and looked around again, "You even didn't let the guard dog go!"

"She did that." Li Chu looked at the three spiders that were frozen.

"You have already captured my third sister, so you can frame her at will. Do you dare to let her go?!" another spider spirit said.

"All right."

Li Chu raised one hand, pointed at Three Spiders, and untied her acupuncture points.

"ah."

The three spiders were freed and immediately let out a cry of surprise.

"My eldest sister, second sister and seventh sister were all killed by him. Let's avenge them!"

"We have already subdued this little Taoist priest. Let him pay with his life!"

Several spider spirits were filled with indignation.

The three spiders who regained their freedom immediately looked terrified when they heard this, "Don't..."

Did you let him untie me just to make me die with you?

She quickly moved her hands all over her body.

But before she could say anything, several sisters over there raised their hands, revealing their demonic bodies, and suddenly, a cold wind blew violently!

The surroundings, which had just been an exquisitely decorated inn, had suddenly turned into a spooky black stone cave, covered with spider webs. On the spider webs, there were countless white skeletons, which were difficult to count. These were the lives that these spider spirits had killed in the past.

Several large spiders were hanging upside down at the top of the cave, and their ferocious appearance was immediately revealed.

“Hey!”

The three spiders were caught in the act and looked confused. Why are you exposing your past so quickly? Before she could stop them, she heard the sisters say, "Third sister, you have the deepest hatred for that little Taoist priest. Go and kill him yourself!"

"We should have listened to your advice earlier and killed the little Taoist priest directly, so that our eldest and second sisters would not be killed."

"Hey, stop talking nonsense..." Three Spiders protested weakly, "It's not that big of a grudge, and I didn't make any serious suggestions..."

A spider spirit nearby saw her fear and encouraged her, "Third sister, why are you still afraid of him? Now that his entire body is restrained by us, he can't even move a finger, how can he threaten us?"

"Then..." Three Spiders asked speechlessly, "How did you break my immobilization spell?"

"Huh?"

The other three spider spirits were all stunned.

Looking at Li Chu lying on the bed, he found that he was slowly drawing out the Chunyang Sword.

"Wow——" The three spider spirits screamed at the same time as if they had seen a ghost.

The third sister had a look of astonishment on her face, and waved her hands hard to explain to Li Chu that she was not familiar with these stupid teammates at all.

But Li Chu had already given her a chance.

This time, under the Pure Yang Sword, everyone is treated equally.

"roar--"

A red dragon swept out, instantly clearing away the lingering evil spirit in the cave, and also engulfing the bright bodies of several spider spirits.

boom--

…

When Dulanke woke up, he found that it was daylight and he was lying on a green stone. Looking up, he saw the fat body of Boss Zhen hanging on the top of an old tree, teetering.

"Huh?"

"That inn and the beautiful female innkeeper..." He scratched his head, then his eyes widened and he jumped up, "There are problems with both the inn and the innkeeper!"

"Indeed." Li Chu nodded beside him.

"master!"

When Dulanke saw his master standing aside with a calm expression, he immediately felt that nothing was a big deal.

He didn't know when it started, but he seemed to have developed a feeling that "as long as the master is here, it doesn't matter if the sky falls."

"There are problems with the inn and the innkeeper." Li Chu said, "They are both gone now."

Hearing this matter-of-fact tone, Dulanke completely calmed down, stood up, looked at Boss Zhen in the tree, and called out, "Wake up, Boss Zhen."

"Huh?" Boss Zhen opened his eyes in a daze and turned over when he heard the voice.

The treetops could no longer support him and seemed to break all of a sudden. Boss Zhen fell down violently, but Dulanke caught him steadily in his arms with his long arms.

The leaves are falling all over the sky, and the scene is extremely beautiful.

When Boss Zhen figured out what happened last night, he immediately thanked him again and again, "Thanks to Taoist Priest Xiao Li. If it were someone else, they would have been killed without knowing it. Thank you so much."

"It's okay, it's what I should do." Li Chu nodded calmly, and suddenly asked, "Boss Zhen, did the elders of Feilai Sect really tell you to ask me to get this Styx Heart Grass? Or was it someone else who instructed you to do so?"

The reason he asked this question was that he felt that this location seemed to have been specially chosen by someone.

Those spider spirits last night were just small fry. The Wooden King of the Yanyue Sect and the witch who could capture souls had evil methods that made it hard to guard against.

The demonic sound here can obviously assist her soul-binding formation. Perhaps... it is not a coincidence.

"hey-hey."

Boss Zhen smiled embarrassedly.

"It's nothing shameful... It's true that my wife is seriously ill and needs the Styx Heart Grass. But it wasn't an elder from the Feilai Sect who told me to say that. The reason I lied to Taoist Xiao Li was because that person told me to say that, saying that this was the only way to persuade you."

"Oh?" Li Chu asked, "Who is that person?"

"It's an old blind man."

Zhen Youqian recalled, "He looks like a beggar, but he looks strange. At that time, my wife's heart disease relapsed, and all the doctors in Qitian City were helpless. He suddenly came to my house and said that the Styx Heart Grass could cure the disease. But few people in the world can get it. If I want to invite you, I must invite you, Taoist Xiao Li. After hearing this, I rushed to Hangzhou Prefecture overnight to invite you."

Listening to his description, a somewhat familiar shadow gradually emerged in Li Chu's mind.

Could it be him again? The one who appears whenever the plot needs to be advanced... No, the one who has some unknown purpose.

Seeing Li Chu deep in thought, Zhen Youqian thought that he still didn't believe it, so he quickly added: "If you don't believe it, you can go back to Qitian City with me after you get the Styx Heart Grass and see with your own eyes how my wife treats the disease. Then I will keep my promise and pay you another 30,000 taels of silver as the balance."

“Eh——”

Li Chu grabbed Zhen Youqian's hand.

"How could I not believe you, Boss Zhen? Your face is filled with love for your wife."

The young Taoist priest said earnestly.

…

A few miles deep into the Dark Water Valley is the deep and mysterious River Styx.

The closer I got, the colder and colder it felt. There was little life, no vegetation, and a dead silence filled the air. Even the ground beneath my feet seemed to have become exceptionally cold and hard.

When they arrived at the bank of the Dark Water, they saw the dark grey water flowing by. The majestic deathly aura even affected Li Chu a little, and he felt extremely depressed.

As for Du Lanke and Zhen Youqian, they have both fallen into a state of depression.

Lao Du looked at the river and sighed, "You said I'm old. Although I'm only two years older than you, Boss Zhen...but if you look at my appearance, I think I look like your father...Of course, I'm not insulting you. I'm saying that Boss Zhen, you've already achieved success in your career and have a fortune, but I still have to leave my hometown and work hard..."

"Brother, family members know their own business." Zhen Youqian also lamented, "Although I am rich, I have also lost a lot of things."

"The thing I regret most in my life is creating such a big business. The happiest time in my life was when I only earned 900 coins a month..."

After hearing his troubles, Dulanke became even more depressed.

Li Chu in front stared at the dark water and felt that the sinister energy in it had reached a terrifying level and it was almost impossible to detect the breath inside.

After a long while, he decided to go down and give it a try.

So he hung the water-repellent beads around his waist, said hello, and jumped down.

Once in the water, the familiar feeling returned.

Soft, moist, smooth, tender...

The water tongue licks and feels extra cool...

Because you couldn't see the depth of the water from above, you would realize once you came in that this dark water was extremely deep. It took a long time to descend to the bottom.

What was under my feet was actually a thick layer of black ice.

Through the ice, which was of unknown thickness, some shadows could be vaguely seen, and they seemed hideous and terrifying.

What kind of world is down there? Li Chu had no intention of exploring. He kept moving forward, just wanting to find the Styx Heart Grass as soon as possible.

Then he saw a clump of water grass.

It was very abrupt. I didn't seem to see it when I was falling just now, but it suddenly appeared at my feet.

Moreover, among this clump of water plants, there are two bright red leaves with transparent veins, which are exactly the appearance of the Styx Heart Grass described by Boss Zhen.

Huh? It's so easy?

This thing came so easily that Li Chu was a little suspicious... Was there something fishy about it?

But the quest item has been delivered to me, there is absolutely no reason not to accept it...

But if I just leave like this, I will feel empty inside...

The expected thrills did not appear.

Li Chu picked up the Styx Heart Grass, feeling a little disappointed. He wanted to explore further, but when he looked forward...

Huh? Not far ahead, there was actually a clump of Styx Heart Grass.

It seemed like this place was empty just now...

What's going on?

The Styx Heart Grass here... is it so hospitable...

After thinking about it, he decided to pick grass and go up.

After all, it’s better to have money in hand.

It is extremely dangerous and unnecessary to wander around in that unfamiliar area.

When he surfaced, he heard Lao Du and Boss Zhen still complaining to each other. Seeing Li Chu coming up so quickly, Boss Zhen's expression suddenly darkened.

"Still not working?" He lamented, "I knew that my wife and I were not destined to be together. Alas, if she dies, even if I marry another 28-year-old woman who is as beautiful as a fairy, how can I replace her?"

It seemed that he thought Li Chu could not go deep into the Hades Water, so he came back quickly.

Then Li Chu handed the bright-colored Styx Heart Grass to his face.

That action seemed to be saying, you wish...

…

Not long after Li Chu and his friends left, two bald heads slowly emerged from behind the rocks in the distance.

The two bald men were both wearing monk robes, one had a mustache, and the other had shaggy eyebrows. They both looked like cultivators, but no one knew where they were cultivating.

The man with the mustache looked at their receding backs and muttered, "Brother, we have been observing here for so long, aren't we being too cautious? Look at that little Taoist priest, he doesn't seem to be that powerful. But with a water-repellent bead, he picked a Styx Heart Grass in almost ten breaths."

The man frowned and said, "But there are countless resentful souls in the dark water, and its reputation is not built overnight. Even powerful people dare not approach it easily, and it is not an exaggeration. It is not appropriate to rashly enter the water, right?"

"What's the point of being so careful?" Seeing them walking away, the man with the mustache simply stood up and said, "The Taoist priest got it, but I can't?"

"But..." The man with the shaggy eyebrows seemed to have some hidden worries.

"The older you are in the martial arts world, the smaller your courage. Most of those great men are just scaring themselves, and they just follow the crowd until now. He was up and down just now. Did you see any waves in the water? Not to mention the big danger, there weren't even two little water ghosts. In my opinion, there is probably nothing strange. We have been fighting wits and courage with the air for most of the day."

"Why don't we take another look?" the man with scowled eyebrows said.

Then the man with the mustache said, "Well, I'll go down with the Water-Repellent Beads. If I see more Styx Heart Grass, I'll pick one for you, so that you, a coward, can also get it. But... if there are other treasures, I won't share them with you."

It turned out that the two brothers also wanted to take the Heart Grass of the Styx to assist in their practice, but they were afraid of the reputation of the Styx Water, so they watched from behind for a long time and did not dare to go into the water.

Seeing that the young Taoist priest went into the water and successfully got ashore in a short time, he felt that he had been too cautious just now.

After saying this, the man with a mustache smiled again, came to the shore, took out a water-repellent bead and hung it around his waist, then jumped like a fish.

Bald head into the water.

There was not a splash of water.

boom--

As soon as the mustache man entered the water, he had not sunk halfway when his eyes were searching for the shadow of the Styx Heart Grass at the bottom of the water.

Ke Xincao didn't see it, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a white figure.

How can there be living things in the dark water?

This guy is obviously not a good person! His pupils tightened, and he immediately turned his bald head around, wanting to go back the same way.

But the white figure didn't give him a chance.

It seemed to be a woman in white, standing gracefully underwater, her long hair rippling in the water, and she was looking up.

Suddenly he raised his hand.

Bang——

The dark water around him seemed to suddenly turn into an iron wall, squeezing him into a ball of blood mist.

Just like crushing a tiny insect to death, he crushed the flesh and blood body into the dark water.

On the river bank, the monk with frowning eyebrows was still struggling, "Am I really too cautious? My senior brother..."

When I lowered my head, I saw blood mist covering the water surface.

"Ah!" he screamed.

My brother died tragically...

Underwater.

The white figure raised her head, as if looking at the water, but through the layers of dark water and mountain wind, the direction she was looking at was more like the sky than the water.

After a long time, she slowly moved her lips.

He let out a voice that contained a hint of fear.

"There really is a…"

"Immortal?"
