Chapter 580 Falling into a trap
But Li Rongsen was immune to all poisons, and no medicine was effective against him, so he finished a bowl of food without any reaction. This surprised Xu Gongze, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only think of another way.
Li Rongsen put the pot aside and said, "When can we set off?" He stood up and went outside. He found that it was already dark and a light rain had begun to fall. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. He turned to ask Xu Gongze, "It's raining. Will it hinder us from finding the entrance?"
"No." Xu Gongze also put down the bowl, stood up and walked over to Li Rongsen, stretched out his hand to catch the rain outside, and said, "It's okay, it's just a light rain."
"Let's go quickly, and head to Haiguo after we get it." Li Rongsen's whole mind was focused on this.
"We have to wait a little longer until the rain stops."
"What do you mean? If the rain doesn't stop, we won't be able to find the intersection?" Li Rongsen expressed his doubts.
Xu Gongze did not hide it from him and said, "Yes, I want the moon."
Li Rongsen frowned. He was really anxious, but he quickly calmed himself down. He couldn't lose his temper and had to deal with it rationally, otherwise he would easily make mistakes.
Fortunately, the drizzle soon stopped, and a bright moon slowly emerged from the dark night sky. This made Li Rongsen a little happy. He said to Xu Gongze, "Let's set off quickly. The moon is already there."
Xu Gongze nodded, gazed at the moon in the sky for a while, and then said, "Okay, let's go now." After that, he walked out of the cave, and Li Rongsen followed behind him.
They walked along the foot of the mountain, and the moon in the sky followed them.
Xu Gongze suddenly stopped at a certain place. He patted a stone in front of him and said, "This is it. Let's go in from here."
"How do I get in?" Li Rongsen didn't quite understand.
"We need to use our internal strength. Let's push together and push the stone in. Right now is the weakest time for the barrier." Xu Gongze pointed to the moon in the sky and said, "The moon's energy can also help us push the stone away. Otherwise, we are still too weak to do it alone."
Li Rongsen nodded, and then stood side by side with Xu Gongze, using his internal strength to push towards the stone illuminated by the moon. Sure enough, he saw him start to retreat.
Xu Gongze said: "Just keep trying, it will be done soon."
Li Rongsen held his breath, concentrated his strength on his palms, and slowly moved the stone back a little.
"It should be possible now. Let's go in quickly. It will be difficult to push once the moonlight is gone." Xu Gongze said as he pulled Li Rongsen in.
As soon as they walked in, they found that the stones had returned to their original positions, and in front of them was a dark road, but it suddenly became bright because there were many lights flashing, and more and more.
Li Rongsen said, "So what we're going to do next is continue along this path?"
Xu Gongze nodded and said, "Yes, if we keep going forward, we will reach the village."
"How about this, we don't alarm the people in the village, and just leave after picking the herbs?" Li Rongsen didn't want to disturb anyone, nor did he want to cause any trouble.
Xu Gongze said, "Do you know where the Awakening Grass grows? If a person guards a piece of Awakening Grass and doesn't give it to you willingly, you won't get it."
Li Rongsen frowned, realizing that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
Xu Gongze added, "Let's go in. There will always be someone willing to sell it to you. As long as he agrees, getting the Awakening Grass won't be a problem."
"Then take me to see the village chief, I'll talk to him first." Li Rongsen said.
"Okay." Xu Gongze nodded, and then walked forward.
Li Rongsen followed behind Xu Gongze, wondering what bargaining chips he should use in exchange. They might not give it to him easily, but he had to get this herb. It was his only hope.
The two of them walked out of the secret passage and found a village. None of the houses had two floors, and they were all single-story thatched houses. There were also many peach and pear trees planted. It was indeed a paradise, so quiet that it seemed as if no one lived there.
It was night time and most people had gone to bed long ago, but the lights were still on in the village chief's house.
Xu Gongze led Li Rongsen there, stopped at the door and knocked. After three "knock knock knock", the village chief came to open the door.
He should be an elderly man, with gray hair and beard, but he doesn't look old because he has no wrinkles, and he looks very energetic. There is no surprised expression on his face, and he should have no reaction. This makes Li Rongsen a little surprised, thinking that this is too unreasonable.
"Village chief, I brought someone here and he said he wanted to buy the Awakening Grass." Xu Gongze was very respectful to the village chief.
The village chief chuckled and said, "Then come in and talk."
Xu Gongze went into the house first, but Li Rongsen did not follow him and still stood outside the house. His intuition told him that this was not that simple.
This surprised Xu Gongze, and he asked, "Why don't you go inside?"
"If you have something to say, just say it here. I want the Awakening Grass. Please name a price, Village Chief." Li Rongsen just stood still and asked this question.
The village chief turned around and said, "Stay here, and I'll give you all the Awakening Herbs."
"Of course I can't stay here. I'm leaving after buying the Awakening Grass." Li Rongsen told him directly.
The village chief's expression changed at this moment. He seemed angry and immediately swung a long whip towards Li Rongsen, as if he wanted to tie Li Rongsen into the house.
Fortunately, Li Rongsen was alert in advance, so it was not difficult for him to hide. He immediately turned over and now he could see the barrier in the room more clearly. This was a trap, probably prepared for him.
A woman was standing at the window in the room. She was wearing a long white dress and a gauze flower on her head. She was not wearing any gold or silver jewelry. Her almond-shaped eyes were fixed on Li Rongsen. She found that this man was indeed very handsome, and even she felt inferior to him.
A few days ago, I heard my father say that he had found a good marriage for her. The man is not only handsome but also very capable. When I saw him today, it was true. His every move was charming.
Three people outside the house were fighting fiercely, causing the peach and pear petals around them to float in the air, and it was impossible to tell who had the upper hand.
Xu Gongze frowned. He thought that since he had tricked Li Rongsen into coming here, there was no need to pretend anymore. He said to him, "You can't escape from here."
"So, the Awakening Grass is a scam?" Li Rongsen only cared about this matter.
"This is true, but you can't get it." After saying this, Xu Gongze and the village chief slapped Li Rongsen. The two men wanted to catch him.
But this moment is different from that time. Li Rongsen's kung fu has made great progress, and he has also learned a lot of mental skills. It is not so easy to catch him, so fighting one against two is not too difficult.
Xu Gongze had never seen Li Rongsen fight, and always thought that he didn't have much ability. He didn't expect that neither of them could beat him.
Li Rongsen began to circulate energy with his hands. A circle of purple light surrounded his palms and moved towards Xu Gongze, as if to suck him over.
Xu Gongze also felt the suction, he immediately turned over and ran away, and the village chief also threw a hidden weapon at Li Rongsen.
Li Rongsen dodged sideways and struck the village chief with a palm, but the village chief escaped. The palm knocked down a wall. He said, "Xu Gongze, are you trying to imprison me?"
"The life and death of the mayor of West City is decided by fate. Why do you want to save her? You might as well stay here and enjoy the beauty." Xu Gongze advised him.
