Chapter 3. Underground Abyss
The time travel begins with Wudang, Chapter 3 of the text volume. Xiaochi Town in the Underground Abyss is located in a remote area, not close to the official road, and there are no big cities around it, so few strangers come here. The arrival of Lu Zhi has made the residents of the town
They are a little wary.
"Little Bao'er, come back." A woman stopped the child playing on the street and pulled her behind her, staring at Lu Zhi closely.
After all, these days there are quite a few bad guys who pretend to be monks but are actually human traffickers or strongmen who visit remote villages.
Faced with the woman's reaction, Lu Zhi didn't make a fuss. After all, it was the right thing to be wary of strangers.
"Sister, I am polite here." Lu Zhi bowed to the woman politely, and then asked, "I heard that there is a black stone cave near Xiaochi Town, and I am looking for this place. May I ask?
Does eldest sister know?"
"Black Stone Cave?" A look of surprise appeared on the woman's face.
She naturally knew about the Black Rock Cave. The Black Rock Cave was once a gold mine. The ancestors of Xiaochi Town also discovered the gold mine many years ago and established the Xiaochi Town here.
However, the gold mine has been mined long ago, and after many years, the Black Rock Cave has become a dangerous place full of dangers. There are countless terrifying monsters hidden in the cave. Why is this young man asking about that place?
Although she was surprised, the woman didn't ask any more questions. She just raised her hand and pointed the direction to Lu Zhi: "After you leave the town, keep walking that way. After walking for about seven or eight miles, you can
Found the Black Rock Cave."
"But" after thinking about it, the woman reminded Lu Zhi, "I heard from the old people in the town that a kind of evil spirit spawned in the black stone cave. It is not a good place to go."
Lu Zhi thanked him: "Thank you, eldest sister, for reminding me. I will pay attention to it."
There were so many weird ghosts in the black stone cave. Lu Zhi had known this for a long time, but he was a Taoist priest. Aren't Taoist priests the ones who subjugate demons? How could he be afraid of those spies and ghosts?
Lu Zhi left the town and walked in the direction pointed by the woman. After walking a few steps, a deserted forest appeared in front of him.
I don't know why, but the trees here have a gloomy feeling. Not only are the leaves dry and dull, but the branches of the trees are also slightly twisted, giving people an uncomfortable feeling.
"Sure enough, it's not a good place to go." Lu Zhi muttered to himself and stepped into the forest.
Obviously, the residents of Xiaochi Town rarely enter this forest. There are no roads in the forest and there are thick weeds everywhere.
He continued walking and saw an ancient well covered with moss deep in the forest.
This well must be the legendary Full Moon Well, right? When the moon is full, if you lower your head and look into the well, you can see your beloved person or thing in the reflection in the well.
This legend is romantic and poignant, and should be very popular with those little girls, but it has no appeal to Lu Zhi. Of course he knows what he values, but there is no need to ask more questions.
Lu Zhi turned his head and looked at the cave entrance covered with vines not far away. He took a step and turned into a golden light that shot into the cave.
The space inside the black stone cave was quite large. Lu Zhi flew along the corridor for a long time without reaching the bottom.
Until he flew out along a huge crack, a huge underground space appeared in front of him.
"Hululu" a low snoring sound came from the side.
Lu Zhi turned to look and saw that the huge cliff not far to his side was filled with densely packed cave entrances. Some of the cave entrances also hid some strange and strange creatures.
And that purring sound was made by one of the weird cat-like creatures with long ears and four legs with hooves.
Not only that monster, but also from other cave entrances, cold and evil eyes were cast on Lu Zhi, which made people very uncomfortable.
"Humph!" Lu Zhi snorted coldly, and the golden light all over his body suddenly shone brightly, as if a miniature sun suddenly dropped in this dark space. Under the golden light, the demons were eliminated, and all evil spirits were eliminated.
!
The strong light was a natural nemesis for the monsters living in the dark abyss where they could not see their fingers. In just a moment, those monsters whimpered and retreated into the depths of the cave, not daring to show up again.
Lu Zhi was too lazy to deal with these underground monsters. After all, they were afraid of light and would never be able to leave the black stone cave and go to the outside world to harm people. Lu Zhi was too lazy to waste time cleaning them out one by one.
He recalled the plot in the original work. It seemed that the six-tailed fox was on the magma table at the bottom of the abyss, using the power of earth fire to barely resist the cold poison that penetrated into the bone marrow.
But I just don't know if he has already arrived here at this time. If he hasn't arrived here yet, then Lu Zhi will have to wait a few years before coming back.
Continuing downward, the surrounding visibility becomes brighter, and the air becomes hotter, with a faint smell of pungent sulfur.
Under the abyss, there is a boiling magma lake. Once here, the high temperature and pungent smell of sulfur in the air are no longer something ordinary people can bear. Even Lu Zhi feels a little uncomfortable.
Logically speaking, no living creatures should survive in such a place, but on the stone platform in the center of the magma lake, there was a huge white-furred fox lying on it.
What's even more surprising is that there are six tails floating slightly behind the white fox!
Rumor has it that creatures like foxes are born with spirituality that other animals do not possess, and are the easiest to become spirits. When their spirituality and cultivation reach a certain level, a tail will be added to their backs.
Therefore, if you want to judge the strength and spirituality of an existence like a fox monster, you can know roughly by looking at the fox tail behind it, and the six-tails can already be called a rare big monster.
While Lu Zhi was observing the six-tailed fox, he had already noticed Lu Zhi's arrival. He opened a pair of ice-blue eyes and looked at Lu Zhi quietly.
"A cultivator?" He said in a low voice, feebly, "After hiding for so many years, I was still found. Young man, are you here to kill me?"
Lu Zhi glanced at him. The six-tailed fox was obviously in a dying state. He couldn't even move and couldn't resist. He could only look at Lu Zhi quietly, waiting for Lu Zhi to pronounce his fate.
"I came here specifically for the Xuanhuo Jian." Lu Zhi didn't hide it, and directly stated his intention to him straight to the point.
"I see, you are a disciple of Fenxiang Valley?"
"no."
"No?" The six-tailed fox glanced at Lu Zhi in surprise, but quickly returned to his calm expression.
After all, it was no longer important to him whether Lu Zhi was from Fenxiang Valley. He was a dying fox and there was no need to get to the bottom of it.
"The Xuanhuojian is indeed with me. If you want it, take it away."
The six-tailed fox's reaction was quite dull, and it even reached the point where he didn't care about anything. For him, the Xuanhuo Jian and other things were no longer important.
Although he needed the Xuanhuojian to suppress the cold poison in his body in order to survive, since Lu Zhi asked him for it, there was no harm in giving it to him.
After all, rather than living like this, it would be worse than death, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to be freed from it.
While speaking, Lu Zhi had already landed on the platform, and the six-tailed fox also struggled to stretch his right forelimb in front of Lu Zhi, and the Xuanhuo Jian was tied to his forelimb.
"take it."
Lu Zhi raised his head and looked into his pair of sapphire-like blue eyes: "If Pindao takes this Xuanhuo Jian, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."
"Even if you don't take this Xuanhuojian, I won't be able to live much longer, right?"
Lu Zhi was silent. This six-tailed fox was unexpectedly free and easy, which actually made him feel some compassion.
Lu Zhi said: "Forget it, this Xuanhuo Jian Pindao is going to help you. Correspondingly, Pindao will help you get rid of the cold poison in your body, so that Pindao can feel more at ease."
As for the fact that the Xuanhuojian was originally the magic weapon of Fenxiang Valley, Lu Zhi simply ignored it.
Hearing this, the six-tailed fox glanced at Lu Zhi in surprise. The cold poison in his body was injured by Shangguan Ce of Fenxiang Valley, and over the years, the cold poison had penetrated into his bones. Who was this person?
