Chapter 2 Lost (2)

At dawn, the Furious Monk finally came back. Everyone was relieved.

The reason for relaxing is that the monk Mirage can still find the way back, so he only lets go halfway because the monk Mirage still has not found the way out.

A day ago, when they stood on the ruins of Lanlin Temple and looked into the distance, the straight Wuqi Mountains in the distance were still vaguely visible, as if they could only walk for half a day. But after they walked for almost a whole day, when they found something wrong, they climbed up to the top of the tree and looked again. Both Wuqi Mountain and Lanlin Temple disappeared into the light fog that had spread at some point. Through this layer of fog, the afterglow of the setting sun behind them could still be seen, which means that their direction was not wrong, but the mountain that should have appeared in front had never seen it. What we saw was a tree, but the tree.

There was originally a thousand-year-old tree demon entrenched in the Lanlin Temple area. Twenty years ago, it was a joint force by the monks of the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect. This was a well-known story among the Qingzhou Jianghu, but no one expected that the tree demon would still leave a maze, and they are undoubtedly trapped in this maze now.

"...Twenty years ago, Master Baiyunyan and I, Master Chixia, joined forces to fight with the thousand-year-old tree demon for three days and three nights before destroying the old monster's soul, but unexpectedly, the maze that the old monster used to protect itself was still left behind... Fortunately, the tree demon's body died early, and this maze was probably only left with a wreck. I went through every section of the line last night, and I checked it with Guanyin's eyes. Although the entire forest had extremely weak demonic aura, there was no sign of fluctuation. We walked all day and there was no danger at all. It seemed that the wreckage of the maze just trapped us, but it would not hurt people."

Just like Zhu Bajie needed to be named Bajie, the monk Mirage looked very angry. A pair of thick eyebrows that were burning like a burning brow frowned as if they had never unfolded in their lifetime. A pair of large ring eyes full of blood, and the blue veins that were beating from time to time on their foreheads seemed to be ready to get angry at any time to tear the person in front of them into meat paste. The sound was hoarse and filled with resentment. Just look at the appearance, this was an evil ghost who had spent five hundred years climbing out of the eighteenth level of hell and standing in front of his enemies.

But no one dared to doubt the cultivation of Monk Mirage because of this look. As one of the eight guardians of Pure Land Zen Temple, this look is the proof that his great power and virtue Vajra has already cultivated to a very profound realm. If it weren't for the Pure Land Zen Temple that had just held a meeting in Qingzhou, Monk Mirage happened to pass by Luoshui City and heard that there were monsters appearing near Luoshui City and took the initiative to come forward. The Luoshui Gang could not invite him no matter how much money he had paid.

Li Yutang, Hu Qian, a man named Huang, and Xiao Xia are now sitting next to the monk Mirage Monk. The leader of the Bai Young Gang was not rescued, and the three guardians of the Luoshui Gang and the incense masters who came together had long become fragments of fragments. Naturally, everyone was headed by the monk Mirage Monk, who had the highest cultivation and the most famous ones.

"Although this mystery is not dangerous, it's a pity that I am quite unfamiliar with the formation, and I have no idea how to break the formation and come out. I wonder if you have any insights?" The Buddha Sect also has many ways of formation barriers, but unfortunately, Monk Miuqi doesn't seem to be very proficient in it. He doesn't know how to break the mystery.

Li Yutang suddenly spoke, "There must be someone who deliberately did this maze and wanted to trap us."

"Oh? What does Li Daxia say?" The angry monk opened his eyebrows, and his flaming eyebrows burned up as if they were blasting.

"The masterless formation left behind thirty years ago can be left to this day, but we have encountered it. How could such a coincidence be so? Not to mention that the two seniors Baiyunyan and Chixia will definitely not leave such obvious roots of disaster. This is not a place of extinction. Occasionally, there are business travelers and people from the world passing by. If this maze harms people, how could there be no news in the past thirty years?"

"Li Daxia's words make sense." The Mirage Monk nodded. He looked very angry and his voice was also very angry, but he was actually very polite in his words. "But... if this is true, who would do it and why would he want it?"

"Of course, it's a slut who is trying to stalk the mantis and stalk the cicada and the oriole behind him." Li Yutang seemed very confident and pointed at the girl in white lying on the rock in the distance. "What he did was naturally the monster."

In the distance, the girl in white was still lying on the rock like last night, her posture had not changed, but she closed her eyes and seemed to fall asleep. Even so, the people here were very careful and didn't want her to hear the conversation between them. She deliberately left her for a distance, but she seemed to be worried and dared not get too far away. Their eyes did not completely move away from her.

"Although the young leader was not saved, the old leader of Bai could barely explain the demon if he captured this monster alive. Even if the monster slaughtered it and sold his soul and body as materials for making magic weapons and mechanisms, it would be worth at least a few hundred taels of gold. If he encountered a person who knew the goods, it would be worth at least two or three thousand taels of gold. And two or three thousand taels of gold... There is no thousand and eight hundred in the Qingzhou world who is willing to hold his head in the Qingzhou world." Li Yutang, the Qingzhou hero, was undoubtedly very clear about the situation in the Qingzhou world, and he was very sure of the temptation of these two or three thousand taels of gold.

"And there are more benefits than these two or three thousand taels of gold..." He looked at the girl in white in the distance, and Li Yutang's Adam's apple moved and said slowly: "... It is the credit for our successful capture of the monster alive this time. With the cultivation of that monster, he did such a thing that harmed the sky and harmed the world, but he was captured alive by us. This year's Demon Elimination and Demon Elimination Order must be recorded. As long as our name is put on the Demon Elimination and Demon Elimination Order, he will be a great hero and hero recognized by the righteous path in the world! This is a benefit that cannot be bought with ten two thousand taels of gold!"

The so-called Demon Elimination Order of Demon Elimination. Several major sects once awarded the ten most killing demons and demons among the ten states in the world every year. The most dazzling anecdotes of the ten righteous ways are carved on both sides of one token and sent to Longhu Mountain. After asking Zhang Tianshi, the leader of the Dao Sect in the world, to take a look at it, it is called Demon Elimination Order of Demon Elimination, and then spread it to the world everywhere.

The names of the ten evil spirits on the front of the token are attracting attention because of the rewards issued by several major sects, and there are many people who are the names on the ten righteous anecdotes on the back.

Leaving a name on that token is not only a sight to the Taoist leader Zhang Tianshi, but also famous all over the world with this token. Everyone knows it, and is regarded as a role model idol by countless heroes in the world... Some people think it doesn't matter, it's no big deal, it can't be eaten, it can't be worn, and there won't be more meat on it, but some people think it's more satisfying than anything you eat, wear and tea. For example, Li Yutang is. In the eyes of this hero in Qingzhou, the greatest benefit of being able to keep the name on that wooden sign, and the most valuable benefit is ten times more valuable than the two or three thousand taels of gold.

With the benefits of ten times more valuable, there will naturally be more than ten times more people willing to take risks with their heads. So at this point, the expression on the face of this hero in Qingzhou is very complicated. He is excited on one side, worried on the other side, and anxious on the other side.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Xia couldn't help laughing again: "Xia Li has long been determined, and she is as insightful as if she is watching the fire. It's true that she has good knowledge."

Li Yutang glared at him, and the veins on his hands were leaping again. Although he didn't understand what this kid was laughing at, he knew that he would never be complimenting. He could still feel a different smell in it, like a stench.

"What Li Daxia said is unlikely."

Hu Qian spoke. Her voice swayed from her slightly larger helmet, with some buzzing echoes, but she was very clear and calm: "You can follow us all the way without being discovered, and you can also lead us into the maze without knowing it. Looking at the Qingzhou world, you can only do three or four people, and these three or four people are all famous masters and celebrities, and you will never try to do such despicable things in person."

Li Yutang snorted coldly: "So what about the masters and famous people? People die for money. With such great benefits, they will inevitably not be moved."

"What I mean is not that they will not be moved, but that even if they are moved, they will not do it themselves. This is not their way of doing things. Just like the boss of Zuixianju, even if he wants to make money, he doesn't have to go to the door to attract customers in person." Hu Qian smiled. Even though her facial features were not clearly covered by the helmet, she could still feel her smile sharply.

This sentence seemed to be true. Li Yutang frowned fiercely, frowned for a while, and then asked in a muffled voice: "Why is Hu Xiang thinking, what's going on in this maze?"

Hu Qian was silent for a while, her eyes faintly visible under the cover of the helmet. She seemed to think about it carefully before she spoke: "... Maybe it was just a coincidence."

"According to it?"

"The two seniors Bai Yunyan and Chi Xia were both injured and exhausted after the battle. They just destroyed the tree demon maze and didn't have time to check it out carefully. It was not surprising. Now, maybe it was because of the time, maybe it was because we accidentally touched the array eye restriction in the maze, or maybe it was other reasons that made the residual array re-operate."

"Hahahaha, it's extremely ridiculous!" This time it was Li Yutang's turn to laugh. "I heard that Shenjitang's careful research equipment mechanism is a very meticulous and meticulous one, and it is not a vague. Now the woods are clearly strange. Hu Xiangzhu doesn't make a careful analysis, but he just said it happened?"

Hu Qian didn't care, but just smiled coldly and said lightly: "The world is far from being as simple and clear as a matter of mechanism. We are not a saint and Buddha. Naturally, it is impossible for us to observe everything clearly and can only guess based on the existing situation. Now there is nothing wrong with everything, so what can we analyze? Due to opportunities, there are many coincidences and accidents. What's so strange about us now?"

"Although what Master Hu Xiang said is reasonable, everything has its own fate. But we are trapped here is the truth at the moment, and we should try our best to find a way out." The fury monk proclaimed the Buddha's name, nodded to Hu Qian, and suddenly turned his head and looked at the great man in Yunzhou, asking, "Then does donor Huang have anything to say?"

So everyone set out on the road again. The sleepy girl in white was carried by Hu Qian's mechanism beast and followed her. Xiao Xia was responsible for implementing his stupid method and kept marking along the way.

I have to admit that this is indeed a boring thing. During the whole day, I saw trees and trees, which were neither tall nor short, neither thick nor thin. The creaking sounds on the joints of the two mechanical beasts in my ears were also constant, and they sounded at the same rhythm all day. In order to do things that were constant in such an unchanging environment, Xiao Xia felt that if she didn't do it, she had to become a fool.

Fortunately, no matter how boring or unlucky it is, he can always find something that is not so boring and not so unlucky. At the beginning, he honestly drew a mark on the tree, and then he found that it was better to write a poem than to write a word. For example, first, there were only one word on five trees, which added up to the "bright moonlight in front of the bed", and then there were five other trees with "someone was peeing their crotch" in a few dozen steps. Finally, he simply drew a painting, sometimes drawing a pig's head, and sometimes drawing a fat dog.

"The sword is the king of hundreds of soldiers. I am a sword practitioner who regards it as a sustenance for flesh and blood, so there is a reason why the sword is in the sword and the sword is in the sword and the sword is lost. You ignorant boy have been so chaotic all the way, and you just mark it. To ruin this rainbow shadow sword like this is simply an insult to those who practice swords all over the world!"

When Xiaoxia started painting turtles, Li Yutang finally couldn't see it anymore and roared at Xiaoxia in a sandy voice.

After most of the day, I felt bored that I was definitely not just Xiao Xia. Li Yutang was bored. But the hero could not draw everywhere with his sword, nor could he do things that other heroes could not do. So he could only speak. From the time he was twelve years old, after hard work and overcoming all difficulties, he finally became a mysterious master. To the past few months, how to risk going deep into the tiger's den, and join forces with the heroes of the Thirteenth Series Dock to eliminate the wonderful story of the water bandits who had been entrenched in the dark clouds and committed crimes for decades, he would have long been dry and smoked. If this turtle had not had a pair of sword eyebrows that were exactly the same as him, he would have been too lazy to speak.

Xiao Xia shook his wrist, and the long sword in his hand buzzed, and his brilliance was like a rainbow. He was very satisfied with the turtle that had just been completed. He sighed with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I heard that this rainbow shadow was originally a birthday gift for the Baiqilou to be presented to Lord Zhoumu. It was a birthday gift from the old guard Zeng who spent 5,000 taels of silver and also paid two innocent guards from Yihonglou. This was the one who exchanged it from the shopkeeper Mengda of Baiqilou. I have never used such an expensive sword in my life. I can't help but want to gesture in my hand."

Li Yutang's pair of sword eyebrows were frowning as if he was about to jump up from his forehead and stab him out. At this time, the angry monk who was walking in the front suddenly raised his hand, stopped, and said, "Okay, it's probably about the end of this day when you're here."

"Master, we can continue to go on a previous period." In fact, Li Yutang had wanted to stop and rest a long time ago, but he was a hero. He could not say he was tired without saying that he was tired. If others said that, he would even say that he was not tired.

"No, I can only go here today." The Mirage Monk shook his head. "Then please ask the donor Huang, Master Hu Xiang, Master Li Daxia, and Donor Xia, you four, to rest here for a while. I will go back to see if the marks have changed in this tree demon maze."

After saying this, the Mirgen Monk turned around and walked back to the way he came. He didn't seem to have walked fast, but he disappeared into the woods in just a few blinks. Although his magical foot power is far from being as strong as the legendary shrinking ground, it is much more useful to use it to rush the road than to use it lightly.

Hu Qian snapped her fingers, and the two mechanical beasts following her stopped, slanted their bodies, and lowered the girl in white who was sleeping on it. Xiao Xia also stretched, took out the water bag and took a sip, preparing to rest here.

"What are you doing when you stop? Go quickly~! We're going back soon!"

The voice of the great man in Yunzhou came, and it turned out that he did not stop, but continued to move forward.

"Don't stop! Let's go!" The big man in Yunzhou walked back quickly, and his big eyes were staring at the three people who stopped.

Li Yutang and Hu Qian didn't say anything silently, and didn't even look at the big man in Yunzhou. I don't know if he didn't want to see it or dared not look it. Xiao Xia said to him and explained: "Master Fury asked us to wait here first. He went back to see the marks we made along the way to see how this maze was..."

"What to look at? I can't see anything. How can I go out without leaving? Go quickly, go quickly!" The big man in Yunzhou looked very anxious. The expression on his face was twitching because his muscles were constantly twitching, and he could no longer tell the difference. His huge nose wings swelled and panted. The blood in his eyes was so much that he could hardly see any whites. It seemed that two blood cells with a little black were spinning around in his eyes.

When he set out this morning, he was still walking like everyone else. Now, his feet have begun to bend and his waist has been hunched down. His hands seem to be longer than in the morning. From time to time, he supports the ground and scatters. If he only looks from the outside, he is becoming more and more like a beast, no longer like a person. And he can still speak and understand other people's words, which is good.

Li Yutang frowned and couldn't help but whisper: "If you want to leave, just leave alone, let's wait here..."

"Get out of here! I didn't ask you~!"

A deafening roar suddenly exploded from the mouth of the big man in Yunzhou. The huge sound and saliva were mixed together and hit Li Yutang's head-on face, making his face pale. He almost couldn't stand steadily after taking a few steps back.

With a blink of an eye, the hero Qingzhou who had stood firm again had already drawn his sword in his hand. But although his face was so red that he was almost bleeding, the blue veins on his hand burst out, and he wanted to crush the hilt of the carefully crafted agarwood ancient sandalwood in his hand. He still stood there and did not dare to rush forward.

With the roar just now, the big mouth of the man in Yunzhou opened almost to his ears, and the fishy smell emitted from his mouth was as strong as if he had just chewed it and ate it. A mouthful of white teeth was very conspicuous in the dazzling red mouth, especially the four canine teeth were very thick and very sharp, like four sharp knives.

No matter how you look at it, this is no longer a human mouth.

Hu Qian stood still and didn't move. The loud roar seemed to have not scared her. The two mechanical beasts that were parked not far away turned around creakingly.

Looking at Li Yutang who drew his sword and the two turning mechanical beasts, the big man in Yunzhou smiled. Maybe it was a smile, maybe it was another expression, in short, his mouth was grinning, his bright red tongue stretched out, licked the bridge of his nose from his left face, almost licked his eyelid, swept over half of his right cheek, and finally took it back from under his jaw.

"Okay, Brother Huang, after leaving for the past half a day, aren't you hungry?" Xiao Xia asked suddenly.

"Hungry?" The man from Yunzhou was stunned, as if he had been reminded and suddenly remembered. He shouted with great enlightenment. "Yes. I'm hungry! I'm so hungry!"

"I have a piece of jerky meat here, so please eat it." Xiao Xia took out a piece of oil paper bag the size of a palm from his arms and handed it to the Yunzhou man. The Yunzhou man grabbed it and threw it in his mouth without looking at it. While chewing it, he nodded repeatedly and said that it was better to be meat or meat.

The scent of cured meat that floated from the mouth of the big man in Yunzhou made Li Yutang feel that his cheeks were cramping. Unexpectedly, the boy still had such things on his body, but he gave them to the monster to eat, but it also made the monster stable for the time being... I don't know if I should breathe a sigh of relief or scold the boy, which made the expression on Li Daxia's face look very strange, so I could only glar at Xiaoxia.

After taking two packs of dry food from Xiaoxia and chewed it in his mouth and swallowed it, then poured it on a sachet of water. The man from Yunzhou looked a little satisfied. He patted his belly and sat down and stretched. Although these foods didn't look much, they were all very tight dry goods. After the food was bloated with the water, he could finally feed him barely. As for the heroes of Qingzhou and the Master of Shenjitang nearby, he seemed to have forgotten them all, and he didn't even look at them again.

Li Yutang groaned, and finally regained the demeanor that a hero should have. He inserted his sword back into the scabbard, turned around and walked to a big tree in the distance, sat down and closed his eyes to rest.

Hu Qian also sat down under another tree. She sat down as if she had taken the position and suddenly collapsed. The armor on her body sounded muffled, and then she sighed and breathed. This armor may not be heavy, but it will never be light. Of course, this armor can also be taken off and carried by a mechanical beast, but Hu Qian did not. In fact, since she met, Xiao Xia had never seen her take off this armor, and she had never even taken off that helmet. This set of armor from Shenjitang seemed to have grown on her body.

"It seems that you have prepared a lot of dry food." Hu Qian asked suddenly.

"I used to walk in the grass sea in the northern desert of Yongzhou for more than a month, eating insects, grass roots, and shoes... From then on, I felt uneasy if I didn't bring any spare food on my body."

Looking at the big man in Yunzhou who had just burped over there, Xiao Xia took out a pack of dry food from his arms and smiled bitterly. "... It's a pity that's all that is left now."

He carefully opened the last small bag of dry food, Xiao Xia took the half and threw it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. He chewed it carefully and enjoyed it very much, as if it was the most delicious thing in the world. After swallowing it slowly, he took another sip of water and rinsed his mouth to make sure that the last bit of residue in his mouth was not wasted. He then took the remaining half and made a gesture to Hu Qian: "Does Hu Xiang mainly eat?"

"You keep it for yourself." Hu Qian snorted coldly, took out a small bottle from her waist, poured out a marching pill and swallowed it. Although this kind of gadget that is refined with medicine can't eat enough, it can make people unable to starve to death. She glanced at the Yunzhou man who had already lying down in the distance, and suddenly asked, "Why should I share the dry food for him?"

"If he didn't give it to him, he might be going to eat people." Xiao Xia sighed and replied.

"I've been waiting for him to eat people." Hu Qian's voice was cold. "Can't you tell?"

Xiao Xia was silent for a while, and he slowly spoke, "Without him, we would have died long ago."

"Yes, without him, we might all die long ago. But he became like this, not for us." Hu Qian's words were very organized and clear, just like the mechanism on her armor, very efficient and cold. "You should be a smart person and can't do useless things."

Xiao Xia thought for a while and said, "If I said it was because he had invited me to dinner once before, so I gave it to him now, would you believe it?"

"Don't believe it."

Xiaoxia sighed: "But that's it."

Hu Qian snorted, ignored him, buried her head, as if she closed her eyes and started to rest.

Xiao Xia shook her head slightly, looked at Hu Qian, then turned her head to look at the big man in Yunzhou who was asleep in the distance, shook his head, and said to herself: "Sometimes, being smart is not a good thing."
