Chapter 174 Mysterious black smoke suddenly appears
Xuan Bao did not expect Li Zhuo's cultivation to be so profound, and Xuan Bao's amazing talent also exceeded Li Zhuo's expectations.
It should be said that not to mention those among Taoism and Buddhism who have attained enlightenment long ago, the two of them are definitely the leading figures among the younger generation.
I have to say that the old monk is indeed unfathomable. With the combined strength of Li Zhuo and Xuan Bao, the bluestone only shook slightly.
"Okay, don't waste your efforts." Xuan Bao was the first to give up, "The old monk is really powerful."
Li Zhuo put away the moon shovel and glanced in the direction of Tianlong Temple: "We don't have that strength yet."
"Yes." Xuan Bao smiled, "But it's not without gain."
"What's the gain?" Li Zhuo looked confused, "Why didn't I know?"
"I'll tell you later, don't waste any time and leave quickly." Xuan Bao glanced in the direction of Qi Meitang intentionally or unintentionally, "I'm afraid I've already alerted the enemy."
Before he finished speaking, he felt an inexplicable aura coming over him. Xuan Bao quickly took out two invisibility charms and stuck them on himself and Li Zhuo respectively.
Almost at the same time that the two people put on the invisibility charm, a burst of black smoke floated quickly.
Li Zhuo was about to ask aloud when he saw Xuan Bao making a silent gesture towards him and raising his hand to cover his mouth and nose. He immediately understood and moved to hold the little baby's hand tightly.
The two of them held their breath and retreated quietly, with a tacit understanding, moving away from the corner and back to the wall, their eyes fixed on the black smoke.
The black smoke came very quickly, floated to the bluestone, circled around it three times, and then stayed in the air at about half a person's height.
Xuan Bao and Li Zhuo calmly stared at the black smoke. After a moment, it transformed into a human figure, so dark that no facial features could be seen.
The figure turned into black smoke looked left and right, as if looking at something and waiting for something.
Xuan Bao and Li Zhuo didn't move or even breathed at all. They had both practiced spells like the Turtle Breathing Technique. Although they couldn't hold their breath forever, they could hold their breath for an hour or two.
No abnormality was found, and the figure turned into black smoke and slowly floated away along the path it came from.
Xuan Bao took Li Zhuo's hand and raised his feet to follow the black smoke without any hesitation.
The two of them were careful not to follow too closely. The black smoke came at a very fast speed, but returned slowly. Xuan Bao and Li Zhuo saw this and tiptoed and slowed down.
In the dead of night, there was a dark wind in the West Crossing courtyard. The ghosts who rushed into the West Crossing couldn't wait to rush towards their enemies. It can be imagined that those who did something wrong tonight must have nightmares again and again.
The black smoke seemed to have intelligence. It sometimes turned into smoke and sometimes turned into a human form to look at the ghosts, feeling like it was wandering around slowly like a leisurely stroll.
After following this strange black smoke for a long time, when he saw it slipping through the window into Xiao Liao's study behind Qimeitang, Xuanbao grabbed Li Zhuo.
Li Zhuo followed Xuan Bao back and forth, and the two of them were waiting under the tree not far from the study.
After a while, Xuanbao sighed softly: "Fifth uncle, that's Xiao Liao's study."
"Is this the study where you found the person in the painting?" Li Zhuo hadn't reacted yet, "That black smoke?"
"It went in for a long time and didn't come out, so I think it must be related to the person in the painting." Xuan Bao paused here and then continued, "Maybe it's this black smoke hiding behind the painting."
"Did you guess it?" Li Zhuo expressed doubt.
Xuan Bao reminded: "We followed it, can you tell what this black smoke is?"
Li Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and he quickly realized: "The person in the painting who hurt you at the beginning couldn't even feel what it was."
"Yes, and I think the black smoke is very similar to the breath of the person in the painting."
Something suddenly flashed in Xuanbao's mind, but she couldn't catch it for a moment. The little doll didn't move, and its eyes were focused on a certain point without turning. It looked like it was thinking hard.
What's going on? Is Xuan Bao about to have an epiphany? Li Zhuo couldn't help but panic. The two of them had sneaked into someone else's territory in the middle of the night. It would be terrible if they were discovered.
Li Zhuo's mind was spinning very fast. Anyway, the matter in Xikuoyuan was just that. If the sky fell and a tall man was holding it up, he didn't believe that there was anything that the old monk couldn't solve, so he put it aside for the time being.
Enlightenment is something that can only be met but cannot be sought. Some people have gone through thousands of sails and lived a lifetime without even reaching the threshold of enlightenment. Being able to achieve enlightenment is considered a big deal. Li Zhuo decided to guard the Xuanbao like this. I hope
She can realize things quickly.
That's what I think, but it's really not certain that everyone has their own ability to understand. It can take as long as a year and a half, or even three to five years, and as short as ten days and a half, or even in an instant.
Not allowed.
Li Zhuo quietly guarded Xuan Bao and wondered if he should find a way to take her away, at least leave Xikuoyuan. He didn't know how long her invisibility charm would last. It would be terrible if she was disturbed by others, Xiao
The doll was seriously injured and even died.
After much thought, Li Zhuo still had no idea. Just when he was about to ask the old monk from Tianlong Temple for help, Xuan Bao suddenly trembled and she moved.
I saw that the little baby's whole body was shrouded in strong light for an instant, but the light disappeared in a blink of an eye, so fast that people doubted their own eyes.
In Tianlong Temple, the old monk who was meditating suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the open window.
The ray of light in the sky shone brightly and disappeared in an instant, and the corners of the old monk's mouth curled up slightly.
After folding his hands and reciting a Buddhist chant in a low voice, the old monk murmured: "The old Taoist priest has accepted a good disciple. How old is the little girl? Will she be the chosen one?"
Just when Li Zhuo was doubting his eyes, a small hand grabbed his forearm.
"Xuanbao, you?"
"Fifth uncle, I have an epiphany. It turns out that epiphany is not a big deal, it is just an instant." Xuan Bao said nonchalantly.
"Advanced?" Li Zhuo asked with concern.
The little doll waved its little hands and smiled brightly: "That's right. I feel as if my whole body is full of strength."
"Okay, let's go." Li Zhuo's face was full of joy, "Let's celebrate."
"No, we haven't done anything yet." Xuan Bao pointed in the direction of the study, "I figured it out just now. The smell of the black smoke is the same as the person in the painting. In addition, it is also the same as the thing at the bottom of the lake before.
.
Li Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "According to what you said, these three are the same thing?"
"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but there must be a connection between them." Xuan Bao's eyes fell on the study, "Let's go in and meet it."
"You're so well. Do you need to rest for a few days?" Li Zhuo was still a little worried.
Xuan Bao patted his chest: "Don't worry, not only am I not feeling any discomfort, I'm feeling very well."
Looking at the little doll, Li Zhuo finally felt relieved when he saw her face was rosy and full of energy.
"Okay, fifth uncle will accompany you."
When the two of them came to the study door, they could feel the suffocating and depressing feeling coming from inside.
