Li Yan quickly transmitted the message, but of course he had to go over and take a look when he discovered something. This is the instinct of a monk.
Otherwise, once you miss something, you will only regret it in the future.
The dilapidated ancient pagoda was only more than fifty miles away from them, and the two of them arrived in front of the pagoda in just one breath. .??.
The dilapidated tower body is mottled and weathered, the surface of the masonry is pitted and pitted, and the entire tower body is black and gray in color.
The tower is hexagonal, with the first floor exposed above the ground having windows on five sides and a door on one side. The door is mostly covered by yellow sand. Although it is wide open, it can only allow one adult to bend down and pass through.
The spiritual shields outside Li Yan and Zhao Min had already been opened. They observed carefully outside the tower for a long time and found no other abnormalities.
Then, after scanning the surrounding environment with his spiritual consciousness, he bent down and entered the tower one after another.
The space inside the tower is not too large, it can probably accommodate about ten people. The outside scene can be seen from almost all directions in the tower.
Li Yan immediately saw a withered animal bone on the ground, exuding weak spiritual power.
The spiritual energy fluctuation they just sensed was emanating from this animal bone.
I don’t know how long this monster beast’s withered bones have existed. The whole body is yellow-brown, with many thin cracks on its surface. The surface of the withered bones is covered with a lot of sand and soil, and is also covered with black spots.
This piece of animal bone is not of high grade. Someone may have noticed it before, but no one took it away in the end.
Li Yan did not approach the animal bones immediately. Zhao Min had already cooperated with Li Yan in a tacit understanding. As long as Li Yan did not say anything, she would not take the initiative to approach.
She stood beside Li Yan and observed the animal bones over and over again with her spiritual consciousness.
At three breaths, Li Yan and Zhao Min suddenly flew up, and they quickly retreated to the door of the tower when they came.
At this moment, "Puff", two rays of light flashed across the place where Li Yan and Zhao Min were standing just now.
However, Li Yan and Zhao Min failed to exit the tower. The scene in front of them was distorted, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and the bodies of Li Yan and Zhao Min were also blocked by a force.
Now the doors and windows in the tower have disappeared, but the two of them are standing in a dark stone room.
The stone chamber is about fifteen or sixty feet in size, and looks quite wide. The ground beneath its feet is a hard black rock, no longer buried deep in yellow sand.
At this time, there were two deep cutting marks on the hard rock ten feet away from Li Yan and the two of them, and green smoke was still rising.
There were actually three people inside the stone room, and the space here was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"trap!"
Li Yan and Zhao Min stared forward, their bodies surging with magic power.
At this time, they had no way to retreat and were already involved in the opponent's formation. The severed bone previously was a bait deliberately thrown by the opponent.
"Two...two fellow Taoists, help me. This person is Min Qi, the "Qingpao Ke from Fenshan Mountain". He has been... cough cough cough...
Hunting in secret caves all year round Kill him...others...in the hope that...you can...save us. I will definitely use all...all my wealth to repay...the two of you..."
In front of Li Yan, there was a man in green robe with a gloomy face, staring at them in surprise and uncertainty.
The man in green robe holds a three-pronged fork in one hand. The fork has sharp and long tips, and there is a heart-stopping hook barb on one side of each fork tip, which is shining with a biting cold light.
He moved his eyes away from Li Yan and Zhao Min and looked at the two people in the corner of the stone room. There were two monks, an old man and a young man.
An old man in a gray shirt was lying on the ground, his body covered in blood, his chest was heaving violently, and there was a bloody groove deep in the chest, and blood was gurgling outward, which was very tragic.
Next to the old man in gray shirt was a pretty girl about eighteen or nineteen years old, who was supporting the old man with a look of horror on her face.
There was a long tear in her clothes on the right side of her back, as if it had been cut by a sharp knife, revealing a large area of snow-white tender skin, and even a small round piece of snow-white skin could be vaguely seen forward...
The old man in gray shirt is also holding a long knife in one hand, although his breath is
Even though he was sluggish, he still wanted to struggle to get up. It was the person who spoke just now.
Li Yan's spiritual consciousness quickly scanned the three people here. The man in green robe was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, while the old man in the gray shirt on the ground was in the late stage of the Golden Core. The girl-looking monk was only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that you had a hand in hand and actually sent out a distress message before being sucked into the formation. You are indeed Lao Jianghu.
The dead bones left outside were just ordinary monster beast bones, and they didn’t even attract my attention, hum!
These two Taoist friends, I have a feud with this person, and this matter has nothing to do with you.
Just now you just triggered my formation restriction, so you triggered the formation to attack on its own. It was not my intention to attack you, it was all just a misunderstanding!"
The man in green robe glared fiercely at the old man in gray robe, and then looked at Li Yan and Zhao Min with a smile on his face.
Apparently two Jindan monks suddenly came, and he had to deal with them carefully.
"It turns out that the animal bones were left behind by the old man in gray shirt..."
Li Yan's expression remained as usual, with no expression on his face at all, but he was thinking rapidly.
"Two seniors, this man...doesn't know us at all. He set up an ambush here. My master was plotted against him. I asked these two seniors to help me!"
Now, before the old man in gray shirt could speak, the pretty girl was already calling for help urgently.
Tears were already rolling down from their eyes. They just wanted to come to the tower to rest, but they were ambushed by this man.
"Two...two fellow Taoists, my disciple and I entered the secret...secret cave...just to find some second-level medicinal herbs that may be extinct.
I have only heard of Min Qi's name, and I have no grudge against him. He... he ambushed me here... and plotted against me...
Just now...just now, I had a lustful intention and wanted to do something evil to the disciple of the old man. The old man...the old man is no match for me, so I...please ask two fellow Taoists to help me, cough, cough, cough..."
Having said this, the old man in gray shirt coughed again, and blood came out from his chest again, apparently as if he had injured his internal organs.
The man in green robe only curled up his lips after hearing the words of the pretty girl and the old man in gray robe. When he looked at the old man in gray robe, a sinister murderous intent flashed through his eyes.
Then he glanced at the pitiful girl whose long body was constantly trembling. There was an evil light surging in her eyes, but he suppressed it immediately.
All this fell into the eyes of Li Yan and Zhao Min, who had been silent.
Especially when Zhao Min saw the evil look in Qing Pao Ke's eyes, he felt boundless hatred in his heart.
Qing Pao Ke had also looked at him with the same gaze just now when he came in. Maybe he stopped staring closely after seeing Zhao Min's ordinary appearance.
Li Yan and Zhao Min just listened in silence, which made the Qing Pao Ke dare not take action at will for a while. He couldn't tell whether the other party would take action.
Li Yan and the others understood the general meaning. The green-robed man must have made a sneak attack on the old man in gray.
Otherwise, how could a late-stage Jindan monk be easily injured in the hands of an enemy whose realm was inferior to his own? But the old man in gray shirt also made the most correct judgment before he was trapped in the formation.
He threw out a piece of the demonic beast's withered bones and hurriedly made some manipulations on it. Because the demonic beast's withered bones contained very little spiritual power, he was not able to discover it in time when Qing Pao Ke was eager to kill him.
But Li Yan and the others sensed something unusual and rushed over.
In this way, Li Yan and Zhao Minke also fell into the scheme of the old man in gray shirt, and Li Yan felt very depressed.
Seeing that Li Yan and Zhao Min had not said a word since they came in, and just looked here quietly, the delicate girl's eyes went from a glimmer of hope to her face becoming increasingly pale.
She doesn't know how ruthless the world of immortality is, but survival is everyone's instinct. What's more, if she falls into the hands of a male cultivator, she will most likely become the most miserable person.
When the old man in gray shirt saw this, he stared at the green-robed man opposite, held the long knife tightly in his hand, and with some difficulty pulled off the three storage bags from his waist with his other hand.
"This is Lao Cheng... the whole body of Lao Cheng.
Home, I still... I hope these two fellow Taoists can take my disciple away!"
The old man in gray shirt knew that it would be very difficult to ask the other party to kill Min Qi, so he hoped that Li Yan and the others would take their disciple away for their own benefit.
He did not mention saving himself this time, but held the storage bag and looked at Zhao Min. He felt that Zhao Min had a higher cultivation level, so of course the two of them should focus on her.
Zhao Min still didn't speak. Li Yan finally spoke calmly. His eyes looked at Qing Qing at the same time. The sharp fork magic weapon in the hands of the Poke.
"The attack just now was really the formation's own attack?"
After hearing this, Qing Pao Ke felt disdainful. Of course he wanted to plot against the other party just now, but these two people were too smart and reacted in advance.
But on the surface, he showed a sincere smile.
"Of course, I'm a stranger to these two fellow Taoists, and I can't be so arrogant as to attack two monks of the same level at the same time, right?
I was fighting this old ghost just now, how could I have time to distract from the outside world..."
"Senior, he is lying. I clearly saw him attacking outside the formation just now. The two cuts on the ground, you can tell at a glance that they were not caused by the formation attack..."
Before the Qingpao guest could finish speaking, the pretty girl squatting in the corner of the stone room immediately retorted, ignoring the tears in her eyes, her voice revealing the meaning of asking for help.
"Little girl, you really have never been tamed by a man. You were so frightened that you started talking nonsense. How could you be able to see clearly the attacks of our Golden Core cultivators? It's a joke!"
Qing Pao Ke also interrupted the other party's words unceremoniously, and his aura became colder and colder.
At this time, Li Yan and Zhao Min looked at each other across from each other. After a silence, Li Yan spoke again.
"Of course we don't know what is right and wrong between you, and we don't want to know. Can this fellow Taoist open the formation and let us out?"
When Qing Pao Ke heard this, his expression was stunned at first. He didn't expect that the other party would expose this article so easily.
Immediately, his face was overjoyed. He knew that there was no fool here, and the other party should be able to tell at a glance that the attack marks left on the ground were not caused by the formation.
However, it was obvious that these two people knew that they were in someone else's formation and did not want to cause trouble. As for whether the other party would come to settle accounts with him in the future, that would have to wait until later.
So he gently waved his robe sleeves, and a small piece of hazy light came in not far from the gray-shirted old man in the corner of the stone room, and he could vaguely see some scenes outside the tower.
Zhao Min frowned. She was not a warm-hearted person herself. On the contrary, she was indifferent to people other than her relatives.
But as we are both women, I feel a little uncomfortable when I think of the evil look that Qing Pao Ke looked at me just now.
"Senior, please save me!"
"Fellow Taoist, these things are all yours, Taoist. There is a magic weapon of high quality here, as well as several techniques that I have collected over the past thousand years, and more than 60,000 spiritual stones. Please...please help...
…Help!”
When the old man in gray shirt saw this, he no longer dared to hesitate. At the same time, he struggled to stand up and salute, and the storage bag in his hand was hurriedly thrown over.
Just now he wanted to wait for the other party to make a promise before giving the other person something.
Now that he saw Li Yan's cold-blooded and ruthless appearance, he simply couldn't care less, so he had no choice but to take a gamble in the end.
If Li Yan rolled up the storage bag and left, he would also detonate the mark of consciousness left on the mouth of the bag, but in that case, he would really lose hope completely!
