Chapter 251: Demons in Chaos Outside Fufeng Courtyard
"Please remember to keep this item safe and don't let anyone else know about it..."
…
Zhao Wuyang looked down at the small box covered in dark patterns in his hand and fell into deep thought. Ah Jin had given him this box when he ascended to heaven, but he hadn't mentioned what was inside. And this small wooden box wouldn't open no matter what he did, as if it had been cast under some kind of spell.
What could be in such a small box, barely the size of a palm? And why couldn't anyone else know about it?
Could it be that there is a monster with a great origin locked up inside?
It’s hard to say…
According to Elder Fu Cang, Ajin must be several thousand years old. Although he has not yet become a true god, he has the cultivation level comparable to that of a god. Moreover, he has stayed in the mortal world for so long, so it is not impossible for him to subdue a few big monsters.
When he thought of this, Zhao Wuyang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the box in his hand suddenly became extremely hot and heavy.
If that's true, then won't he have to carry this weird thing with him wherever he goes in the future?
Zhao Wuyang couldn't help but frown, criticizing Ajin in his heart: You said you were a black cat, I helped you ascend with good intentions, and you left just like that, but why did you leave such a troublesome thing to me? It's really not right to throw it away, and it's not right not to throw it away...
Never mind, maybe there is a reason why Ah Jin did this? Just keep it in mind for now!
While Zhao Wuyang was comforting himself, he carefully put the small box with dark patterns into his arms. At this moment, the door behind him opened with a creaky sound, and Master Chengxin walked out with a tired look on his face.
Zhao Wuyang hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects. Zhenren Chengxin waved his hand and asked about Lingxiang's whereabouts, but Zhao Wuyang could not answer. He only said that they left in a hurry but did not say where they went.
Upon hearing this, Master Chengxin frowned.
The demons' movements are unclear now, and they are always looking for trouble. At this moment, what evil thing is Lingxiang doing?
But Master Chengxin was helpless. To find the incense quickly, Chi Yanzi, Han Yang, and Chi Yanzi were the only ones to descend the mountain, without any disciples. He had expended considerable energy in exorcising Long Qi's miasma, and now he was weak. Long Qi was unconscious and in need of care, so no one could spare the time to search for him. If they encountered demons again along the way, it would be troublesome.
Never mind. Lingxiang is clever. Even if she encounters any danger, she'll definitely be able to overcome it. For now, I should recover my strength first. It won't be too late to make other plans later.
"I'm fine. I have to stay in seclusion for seven days. During these seven days, I will close my five senses. You will take care of Long Qi. Give him plenty of water to drink. Remember to ventilate the room, otherwise he might get a fever. If that happens, it will be troublesome."
After Zhao Wuyang bowed, Master Chengxin went back to his room to regulate his breathing and meditate.
In the past two days, Zhao Wuyang has followed the instructions of Master Chengxin and taken care of Long Qi in every possible way. However, Long Qi's face was pale, which made him feel a little worried.
Fortunately, Long Qi woke up in the evening of the next day. Although he just went to the bathroom and fell into a deep sleep again, it was at least he woke up, which finally put Zhao Wuyang's heart at ease.
But even so, Zhao Wuyang still didn't dare to take it lightly.
It has been three or four days since the few of them met here, and they left marks along the way. Chi Yanzi and Han Yang should have found them long ago, but for some reason they still haven't appeared. This made Zhao Wuyang worried. Could it be that they encountered some danger on the way?
Although Master Chengxin had set up formations around the house, Zhao Wuyang always felt that it was not safe.
The Yuanqing Sect's mountain defense formation was so formidable that even the second demonstration gave the demons an opportunity to exploit it. Previously, the group had encountered Bai Wuchang and had barely escaped danger, but Xinyi had said that Bai Wuchang would never give up until he achieved his goal. While she didn't know exactly what his goal was, since he hadn't succeeded the previous time, she assumed he was hiding somewhere, lurking in wait.
There are still three or four days before Uncle Chengxin comes out of seclusion. If the demons come looking for him at this time, can he deal with it?
Zhao Wuyang was drawing water while his mind was full of thoughts, and it seemed as if things happened as he thought. He was putting water in the bucket one moment, and the next moment he felt a tremor, and he immediately became alert.
Uncle Chengxin had said that if Chi Yanzi or Han Yang had found their way here, they would never disturb the formation, but would instead use the formation formula to enter. This was something they had secretly agreed upon. But now that there were disturbances outside the formation, someone must have discovered it and was attempting to break through.
But before Zhao Wuyang could think about it, another tremor came, and this time it was several consecutive fluctuations.
Obviously, someone is trying to break the formation.
Zhao Wuyang quickly put down the work in his hands and carefully looked out through the gap in the courtyard door. What a surprise he saw was that there were all kinds of strange monsters just across the gate!
It was indeed so, but how did they find this place? Taoist Chi Yanzi and Senior Brother Han Yang hadn't reunited yet. Could it be that they were really stopped by these monsters along the way?
Zhao Wuyang panicked for a moment. Even if he knew a little bit about Taoism and had some cultivation skills, he couldn't handle so many monsters! But...
But now, no one except myself can defend this place!
It wasn't that Zhao Wuyang didn't believe in Master Chengxin, but even the most advanced cultivators would eventually be destroyed. Furthermore, he had heard Lingxiang say that, aside from the Yiling Formation, other formations were often dependent on the person who created them. If the person was weak or deceased, their formation would be easily destroyed.
Isn't it because of weakness that Master Chengxin is in seclusion right now? It's obvious that the surrounding formations are no longer as solid as before, otherwise the monster wouldn't have discovered them, right?
Zhao Wuyang suddenly became extremely anxious. The howling and roaring outside the formation was as deafening as the sky, which distracted him and made it difficult for him to concentrate on thinking of countermeasures. In his panic, he even knocked over a broom beside him.
There was such a loud and noisy sound that the monsters outside were silent for a moment, and then they began to knock on the invisible wall like crazy.
Isn't this familiar scene exactly the same as the second martial arts performance?!
Zhao Wuyang suddenly felt a little panicked and blamed himself for being so clumsy. Fortunately, the magic circle of Master Chengxin seemed to be very strong. Even under the continuous attacks of the monsters, it did not loosen at all.
This made Zhao Wuyang feel a little relieved, but he did not dare to let his guard down. He only focused on the movements around him, fearing that something might change. At this moment, a figure appeared behind Zhao Wuyang, getting closer and closer. It was not until it was close to him that he noticed it, but it was too late.
The man reached out and covered Zhao Wuyang's mouth, preventing him from turning around. Just as Zhao Wuyang was terrified, he heard a familiar voice.
"Shh! Don't be afraid, it's me!"
It turned out to be Long Qi!
However, Long Qi's voice sounded very weak, and at this time Long Qi was only wearing an outer robe and wrapped in fine cloth. Zhao Wuyang could clearly feel the burning sensation from his hands.
Long Qi is having a fever!
