Chapter 259: Demons in Chaos Outside Fufeng Courtyard
"Please remember to keep this item safe and do not let anyone else know about it..."
……
Zhao Wuyang looked down at the small box with dark patterns in his hand and fell into deep thought. Ah Jin had given him this box when he ascended to heaven, but he did not mention what was inside. Moreover, this small wooden box could not be opened no matter what, as if it had been cast under some kind of spell.
What can be put in such a small box, only the size of a palm? And why can't others know about it?
Could it be that there is some powerful monster locked up inside?
It’s hard to say…
According to Elder Fu Cang, Ah Jin must be several thousand years old. Although he has not yet become a true god, he has the cultivation base 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 yet extremely 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 could not help but frown, criticizing Ah Jin in his heart: You are a black cat, I helped you ascend with good intentions, and you left if you wanted to, but why did you leave such a troublesome thing to me? It is really a dilemma whether to throw it away or not...
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 Zhenren 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 the whereabouts of Lingxiang, 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.
Nowadays, the demon clan's movements are unclear and they are always looking for trouble. At this moment, what evil thing is Lingxiang doing?
But Chengxin Zhenren had no choice. In order to find the incense as soon as possible, only Chi Yanzi, Han Yang and himself went down the mountain without any disciples. He had spent a lot of energy to remove the miasma for Long Qi, and now he was weak. Long Qi was unconscious and needed someone to take care of him. No one could go out to look for him. If they met the demons on the way, it would be troublesome.
Never mind, Lingxiang is smart, even if she encounters any danger, she will be able to turn it into safety. For now, I should recover my strength first, and then make other plans.
"Nothing is wrong. 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 meticulously. However, Long Qi looked pale, which made him feel 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 people met here, and they left marks along the way. Logically, Chi Yanzi and Han Yang should have found them long ago, but for some reason they have not been seen yet. 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 still felt that it was not safe. The Yuanqing Sect's mountain defense formation was so powerful that the second martial arts performance gave the demons an opportunity to take advantage. Previously, the few people encountered Bai Wuchang and finally escaped from danger. However, Xinyi once said that Bai Wuchang would not give up until he achieved his goal. Although he did not know what his goal was, since he failed last time, he must be hiding somewhere and watching covetously.
There are still three or four days before Uncle Chengxin comes out of seclusion. If the demons come looking for him at this time, will he be able to deal with it?
Zhao Wuyang was fetching water while he was full of thoughts, and it seemed as if things happened as he thought. He was putting water into the bucket one moment, and the next moment he felt a tremor, and he immediately became alert.
Uncle Chengxin once said that if Chi Yanzi or Han Yang came here, they would never touch the formation, but would use the formation formula to enter it. This was what they had secretly discussed before. But now there was a fluctuation outside the formation, someone must have discovered the formation and tried to break into it.
But before Zhao Wuyang could think more, 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 it was that just across the thin line, there were all kinds of strange monsters!
It was indeed so, but how did they find this place? Taoist Chi Yanzi and Senior Brother Han Yang had not met up yet, could it be that they were really stopped by these monsters on the way?
Zhao Wuyang panicked for a moment. Even if he knew a little bit about Taoism and had a little bit of cultivation, he couldn't handle so many monsters! But...
But now, no one except myself can defend this place!
It's not that Zhao Wuyang didn't believe in Master Chengxin, but no matter how high his cultivation was, the array he set up would be destroyed. Moreover, he had heard Lingxiang say that, except for the Yiling Array, other arrays were mostly related to the person who set up the array. If the person who set up the array was weak or dead, then the array he set up would be easily destroyed.
Isn't it because of weakness that Master Chengxin is in seclusion right now? It can be seen that the formations around him are no longer as solid as before, otherwise they would not have been discovered by the monsters, right?
Zhao Wuyang suddenly became extremely anxious. The howling and screaming 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 a loud and noisy sound, which made the monsters outside 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 very solid. 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 just focused on the movements around him, fearing that something might change.
At this moment, a figure appeared behind Zhao Wuyang. The figure was getting closer and closer to Zhao Wuyang. He only noticed it when it was close to him, but it was too late.
The man stretched out his hand and covered Zhao Wuyang's mouth, preventing him from turning around. Just as Zhao Wuyang was horrified, 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 moment Long Qi was only wearing an outer robe and was wrapped in fine cloth. Zhao Wuyang could clearly feel the burning sensation coming from his hands.
Long Qi is having a fever!
