Chapter 17
The air underground was turbid and the road was long and deep, which made Xia Mo, who was naturally nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, feel very uncomfortable. He called out softly and was in a irritable mood, but he just didn't want to go back to the monster bag.
Yu Tai knew it was feeling uncomfortable, so she shrank the heavy thing into the size of a palm and placed it on her shoulder: "Be good and don't throw a tantrum. I'll give you something delicious when I get out."
I don’t know if it’s because it doesn’t have to walk by itself or because it has something to eat outside, but after Yu Tai finished speaking, it really stopped making noises and lay quietly on her shoulder, staring at Shu Li in front of it, and yawning from time to time.
Shu Li, who was walking in front, naturally heard the conversation between the two.
Yu Tai is a cruel person who is good at manipulating people's hearts. The amazing thing is that this monster who is very sensitive to the good and evil of humans does not hate her.
It can even be said that as time goes by, they become closer and closer.
Shu Li stopped walking, and Yu Tai almost bumped into his back. "What's wrong?"
"We're back again." He pointed to a mark on the wall: "This is what I left just now."
Although his roots in Taoism were destroyed, his vision, knowledge and sharpness were still that of Senior Brother Shu Li, who once slashed through the nine states with one sword and became famous throughout the world.
All he lost was his reputation and his sword.
Yu Tai didn't even know when he left the mark.
"Is it an illusion?"
Shu Li nodded, with some approval in his eyes.
Although it was the system that told Yu Tai...
"How to solve it?"
Shu Li's eyes passed over her face calmly, and then he smiled gently: "Junior sister, do you want to know?"
"Brother, don't forget, you are also trapped here." Yu Tai sneered. Don't even think about negotiating with her.
As long as she needs Shu Li's righteousness for one day, she will never let go even if she dies.
"Shu is just a useless person, and he will just die." Although there was a smile on the corner of his lips, his tone was extremely cold. Even though there was a flicker of fire in his eyes, there was no warmth in his eyes.
"Besides letting you go and getting close to you, what else do you want?" Yu Tai took a step back and said.
"Close? Junior sister, your words are very elegant." He put the two words on the tip of his tongue with a hint of sarcasm.
Yu Tai's eyes glared, and he calmly said, "After leaving the Bishui Secret Realm, I wanted my junior sister to help me find something."
"What is that?" Yu Tai asked warily.
"Junior sister will know after she goes out. It's actually not difficult."
Yu Tai's mind was churning for a long time before she said, "I promise you." Anyway, you can't do anything to me if I change my mind later.
As if he understood her thoughts, Shu Li looked directly into her eyes with a meaningful look: "Then I'll trouble you, Junior Sister."
Later, Yu Tai realized that even if Shu Li didn't ask her to do it, she would be forced to do it after she left.
He took a few steps forward, pointed at a wall and said, "Break this part, and the illusion will disappear."
Is it really that simple? Yu Tai thought to herself, but she didn't show any doubt on her face. She nodded her chin with the dignity of a hermit, then mobilized the demonic energy within her body and raised her fist to strike at the spot Shu Li was pointing.
The wall cracked and collapsed suddenly.
Yu Tai noticed that the environment in front of her became distorted, and hurriedly pulled Shu Li, who was standing there with a calm expression, behind her.
Shu Li pulled his arm back from her grasp: "Don't be nervous, it's just that the illusion has broken, revealing your true appearance."
What he said was simple, but Yu Tai was still disgusted when she saw his true appearance.
The original secret passage was no longer in front of him. Instead, there was only an ugly monster with a big smelly mouth, one of its teeth seemed to have been broken, and its body covered with bumps, rolling around not far away.
No wonder there are so many bones outside.
It is estimated that many cultivators have been deceived by this illusion, thinking that they are walking in a long secret passage, but in fact they have voluntarily entered the big mouth of the monster.
By the time they reacted after being chewed by the monster's fangs, it was probably too late.
"It's a high-level magical beast. This kind of monster isn't very powerful in itself, but because of its outstanding illusion abilities, many powerful people like to use it to guard their homes." Shu Li explained on the side.
Yu Tai wondered if he thought she was a kindergarten kid who had to explain anything new she saw.
System: [You are indeed... However, the original owner's public image was originally just a vase, so it's understandable that she lacks common sense.]
After returning, she must make up for the basic knowledge of the cultivation world, she thought secretly in her heart.
The magic beast had a broken tooth and was rolling on the ground, looking at them with a hint of fear in its eyes.
Yu Tai only thought that this fear came from the blood pressure of the heroine who was snoring soundly on her shoulder.
A mythical beast used to guard the house.
It was also magical. Shu Li seemed to have seen through her thoughts and suddenly said at this moment: "If you want, you can put it in the monster bag. Magic beasts are timid by nature and will not easily resist after being attacked."
As if it understood his words, the magic beast really lay down quietly, enduring the pain, with a humble posture of a tamed person.
Yu Tai looked at its huge body suspiciously, then looked at Shu Li: "No, it has been here for many years and probably doesn't want to move."
She didn't really trust Shu Li. The monster was huge and ugly, and who knew what might go wrong.
Seeing her firm attitude, Shu Li said no more, as if it was just a casual mention.
The phantom beast, who was labeled as timid by nature, was so aggrieved that he was about to cry. After being rejected for adoption, his expression became even more pitiful. Unfortunately, he was ugly in appearance, and Yu Tai didn't want to look at him any longer, so she didn't see his expression.
There was a stone door behind the magic beast. Just as the two of them walked over, the stone door opened by itself without any warning.
Yu Tai moved her feet, stepped aside, and let Shu Li walk in front.
Rule 3 of the Evil Female Supporting Characters: Don’t easily leave your back to people you don’t trust.
As the two of them went deeper, Yu Tai felt like she had entered the inside of Pandora's Box, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
However, after seeing the huge inheritance left by her demon father, she would not lose her composure in front of the treasures displayed before her.
Compared with those scrolls and talismans, what caught her eyes even more were the gorgeous and strange plants blooming on both sides. The fruits on each plant emitted a dazzling light like a gem, and had a mouth-watering sweetness.
If it were any monk with weak will, he would probably have pounced on him.
Yu Tai was not unaffected, but she took control of her brain and told herself that the heroine, who usually had the best food, did not move, which meant that there must be something wrong.
Moreover, Shu Li and Xia Mo in the original book also walked over without looking around, and did not touch those treasures that could drive countless monks crazy just by taking them out.
Xia Mo woke up at some point and was lying on her shoulder, rubbing his eyes.
When it saw those fruits that exuded fatal attraction, it yawned in boredom and looked away.
"We're here." Shu Li stopped and pulled Yu Tai away from her thoughts.
