Chapter 255 Strange things happen again and again

Li Xiu's body sank rapidly in the water, and his body was pulled like a sharp arrow through the water and rushed downward.

Li Xiu immediately reached out to grab the spiritual mace hanging on his body, but as soon as he moved his arm, something wrapped around his wrist, wrapping both his hands tightly so that he could no longer move his hands.

Li Xiu concentrated light energy and wanted to break the things on his hands and feet, but the things were unusually tough. The light energy pouring out from the Evil Spirit Card and the Forbidden Spear were not able to break away the things that were wrapped around his hands and feet.

.

The water in the Yanbo Pond was much deeper than he imagined, and his body was quickly pulled down, and he didn't reach the bottom for a while.

However, as we go deeper into the water, the cloud-like light in the water gradually becomes less and less, as if passing through the clouds, the surrounding water suddenly becomes clear, and the field of vision becomes unusually wide.

Under the cloud-like light above his head, Li Xiu saw a scene he would never forget.

The endless lake bottom is covered with countless skeletons. Judging from the structure of those skeletons, they should be human bones, or the bones of some kind of humanoid creature.

"Is the story told by Jiu Xiaoyun true? The cruel Emperor of Heaven really threw the bodies of countless women into the smoke pool..." Li Xiu looked around and found that the things wrapped around his hands and feet turned out to be from

A black lotus-like creature at the bottom of the pond.

In the bottom of the lake full of bones, there grew a clump of black lotus leaves and a black lotus flower.

The things wrapped around his hands and feet were things like vine buds stretching out from between the lotus leaves.

Li Xiu's body was quickly pulled towards the lotus. As he got closer, he realized that the lotus was bigger than he imagined. On the lotus pods, where the lotus seeds should be, there were eyes, and those eyes were staring at them.

Written by Li Xiu.

The black petals of the lotus are actually covered with teeth as fine as down.

There is no doubt that this lotus is a rare plant-based demon, but for some reason, the four of them entered the Yanbo Pond together, but the black lotus only focused on him.

Seeing that he was about to be pulled into the huge black lotus, Li Xiu thought, and the Fire Lotus Sword at his waist automatically popped out from his waist. The sword burned like a flame and slashed at the man wrapped around Li Xiu's arm.

Black bars.

Who would have thought that the black bar would suddenly pull, causing Li Xiu's arm to meet the blade of the Fire Lotus Sword.

Seeing that the Fire Lotus Sword was about to cut down on his arm, the Fire Lotus Sword suddenly stopped. As soon as it stopped, a black belt-like thing wrapped around it, entangled the Fire Lotus Sword as well.

Peng!

Li Xiu's body was pulled and knocked into the black lotus. The petals covered with downy teeth immediately closed up, wrapping Li Xiu layer by layer.

Li Xiu was horrified, seeing the petals covered with sharp teeth about to wrap around his body. He had even seen a strange liquid on the petals.

But his limbs were tightly entangled, and more black whiskers wrapped around his body, making it impossible for him to move.

Katcha!

Just when Li Xiu was about to summon the Jedi Knight, he suddenly saw a crack appearing on the heavily wrapped petals, and the purple-black sword light penetrated through the crack.

"Jing Li!" Li Xiu was overjoyed when he saw the face that emerged from the crack.

When Li Xiu was pulled down, Jing Li, who had been paying attention to Li Xiu, noticed something was wrong and dived down after hearing the sound.

Just because the black lotus was pulling too fast, Jing Li couldn't catch up for a while. Only now did he finally rush to the black lotus and cut off the petals of the black lotus with a knife.

The black lotus seemed to be in unbearable pain when it received this blow, and its petals opened like a silent roar of pain.

Countless black whiskers stretched out from around the lotus leaves and rolled towards Jing Li.

The sword in Jing Li's hand flashed with light, forcibly cutting off the black beards that were close to him. The light of the sword even cut off the petals of the lotus one by one.

Jing Li rushed over wielding the ghost-headed sword and cut off the black beard that restrained Li Xiu. When Li Xiu escaped from the trap, the ghost-headed sword stabbed hard into the lotus pods covered with eyes.

Purple-black sword lights flashed in the lotus pod, and the next second the entire lotus and lotus pod were torn apart.

A magic core fell out. Jing Li grabbed the magic core and rushed towards the water with Li Xiu.

When the two of them broke out of the water, Li Xiu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Thanks to Jing Li's presence, otherwise there would be some trouble this time.

"Let's go quickly." Li Xiu shouted to Jing Li next to him and continued to swim forward.

For some reason, Li Xiu still felt that the water in this pool was uncomfortably hot, and it did not return to normal just because the black lotus was beheaded.

Because of the previous incident, Jing Li got closer to Li Xiu and kept an eye on Li Xiu's situation to prevent the situation from happening again.

Until Li Xiu and four others came out of the smoke pool, nothing happened again.

Glancing at the smoke pool behind him, Li Xiu felt a little strange. He always felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him in the smoke pool.

"What happened just now?" Sha Chu looked at Li Xiu and Jing Li and asked.

"There is a black lotus demon spirit at the bottom of the pond. It pulled me down just now. Fortunately, Jing Li rescued me in time." Li Xiu told what happened.

"Obviously the four of us went into the Yanbo Pond together, but Black Lotus only focused on you. It shows how good your character is. Do more good deeds and accumulate virtue in the future." Jiu Xiaoyun said with a smile.

"Let's go quickly and get to Elder Dao as soon as possible to avoid any further trouble," Jing Li said.

Li Xiu nodded and followed them out of the Yanbo Pond.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but since he swam through the Yanbo Pond, Li Xiu has always felt as if something was staring at him.

However, after paying careful attention for a long time, he found nothing. Even after telling Jing Li, Jing Li didn't find anything following them.

Ever since they passed the Yanbo Pond, the road had been surprisingly peaceful. Even in the places marked on the map where demons might appear, they had not encountered any demons.

"There is a single-plank bridge ahead. It will be relatively safer to go over there after crossing the single-plank bridge." Li Xiu said, looking ahead.

It is said to be a single-plank bridge, but it is actually a round jade pillar as thick as a bucket. The round jade pillar extends into the mist-like light. I don't know how long it is.

Jiu Xiaoyun looked at the Yuzhu Bridge and said: "I heard that this single-plank bridge was originally a road leading to the underworld, with endless hells on both sides. Once it falls, it will never be reincarnated. I don't know if it is true or not.

"

"I don't know if it's true or not, but if we cross the bridge according to the method noted on the map, there should be no problem." Li Xiu looked at the map and said, "It's very clear here. You can only cross this bridge with your eyes closed. On the bridge

You must not open your eyes when you are on the bridge. Once you open your eyes, even if you just take a look, you will fall immediately. Even if you have the ability to fly, it will be useless. After you get on the bridge, no matter what you hear or feel

What, you must not open your eyes."

"I got it." Jiu Xiaoyun was very proactive this time. After closing his eyes, he was the first to step onto the single-plank bridge. He probably had heard about the single-plank bridge before and knew that as long as he didn't open his eyes on the bridge, there would be nothing.

What danger.

Sha Chu was second, Li Xiu was third, and Jing Li was at the back.

After Li Xiu stepped onto the Jade Bridge, the feeling of being watched from behind became even stronger, making him always have the urge to look back.

Li Xiu forcibly suppressed this impulse and followed Sha Chu forward. He knew that behind him was Jing Li, and even if there was something, he had to get past Jing Li first.

The jade pillar is not wide and has a smooth arc on it. For most people, it is difficult to walk past it with eyes open, let alone with eyes closed.

But for a few of them, this is not a big problem. As long as they pay a little attention, it is impossible to fall from it.

As Li Xiu was walking, he suddenly felt a heaviness on his back, as if something was pressing on his back. He quickly reached out to grab it, but he found nothing. There was nothing on his back.

He didn't say anything because he was afraid that if he did, Jing Li behind him would not be able to help but open his eyes and look at his back.

Li Xiu continued to walk forward without saying a word. The thing pressing on his back was not too heavy, as if he was carrying someone on his back.

What shocked Li Xiu even more was that he actually seemed to hear the sound of breathing beside his ear, as if he was really carrying someone on his back and that person's head was breathing next to his ear.

But when Li Xiu reached out to grab it, he didn't catch anything. There was nothing behind him.

"Chief, what's wrong?" Jing Li from behind heard Li Xiu's unusual behavior and asked with his eyes closed.

"It's nothing, my back feels a little uncomfortable." Li Xiu was a little confused, but he didn't say anything and just casually excused himself.

Jing Li hummed and said nothing more, but took two steps closer to Li Xiu.

The sound of breathing kept sounding next to Li Xiu. Li Xiu couldn't help but secretly thought: "Isn't it really because of the evil spirit?"

There was nothing he could do now, so Li Xiu had no choice but to endure the discomfort in his heart and continue to move forward.

As he walked, Li Xiu suddenly felt his face being licked by something sticky, wet, and like a cold tongue. The hairs all over his body suddenly stood up, and goosebumps also appeared on his face.

Snapped!

Li Xiu slapped himself on the face, but he didn't hit anything. He slapped himself hard on the face.

"What's going on?" Sha Chu and Jiu Xiaoyun in front stopped. They didn't dare to open their eyes and look, so they just turned to ask Li Xiu.

"It's nothing, there seems to be mosquitoes, don't you feel it?" Li Xiu said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? There are no mosquitoes here. If there are mosquitoes, they are just demons." Jiu Xiaoyun continued walking forward as he spoke.

"I didn't feel anything." Shachu also realized that there might be something wrong with Li Xiu, but she really didn't feel anything.

"Keep walking." Li Xiu asked Shachu to keep walking, and he followed.

Li Xiu walked with his head lowered, but the sound of breathing in his ears became more and more obvious. The soft and wet thing like a cold tongue slid over his cheeks and neck from time to time, causing goose bumps on Li Xiu's skin.

It's almost swollen.

Li Xiu was most afraid of soft things like this, which were still invisible and intangible, which made him even more uncomfortable, and he could not help imagining various scenes in his mind.

But when he reached out to grab it, he didn't touch anything, which made him doubt whether he was hallucinating.

"Could it be that the black lotus was poisonous, and the toxin had an effect on my body, causing me to hallucinate?" Li Xiu could only guess this way.

Fortunately, although it felt uncomfortable, there was no actual harm, and Li Xiu and the four of them successfully crossed the single-plank bridge.

After Li Xiu walked off the single-plank bridge, the sound of breathing in his ears suddenly disappeared, and the weight on his back was no longer felt.

"Thank you!" Li Xiu thought that his previous guess might be correct. It should be when the toxin of the black lotus disappeared, but suddenly he heard a vague voice next to him.

"Did you hear anything?" Li Xiu opened his eyes and looked around, but saw no one.

"Where is the sound? Were you frightened in the smoke pool? Why are you always suspicious?" Jiu Xiaoyun listened carefully, but found nothing.

"It's fine if not." Li Xiu looked at the map and continued walking forward according to the map.

The second half of the journey is much easier to walk, and there are no weird places like the Yanbo Pond and the single-plank bridge.

In fact, there are many weird places, but this route can bypass those weird places, but the Yanbo Pond and the single-plank bridge cannot be bypassed.

When the four people saw the tall and majestic city gate in front of them, they all breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although Jiu Xiaoyun said that, he also knew that Li Xiu must have encountered some problem, so several people were a little depressed along the way, for fear that something would happen. It was only after they reached the city gate that the big stone in their hearts fell.

land.

The gate on this side is even more dilapidated than the other side. There are countless cracks on the huge jade door panel, large and small.

Small cracks can only fit a piece of paper through, while large cracks can almost be passed by a motorcycle.

Several people passed through the crack and saw that there was an arc-shaped city wall outside the city gate. There was another city gate on top of the arc-shaped city wall.

The city gate looked much more complete. Although there were still criss-cross marks on it, as if someone had slashed it with a giant sword, the city gate was at least still complete and had no holes.

A few people saw an old man in security uniform sitting on the city wall from a distance, it was the old sword.

"Elder Dao, we're here to see you." Jiu Xiaoyun called affectionately to Lao Dao on the city gate.

He just hoped that Lao Dao didn't know what was going on outside, so they could rest here safely for a while.

Lao Dao, who seemed to have fallen asleep, opened his eyes, looked at them, then turned over and jumped down from the city wall, landing in front of the four of them.

"Li Xiu, how dare you come here?" Lao Dao stared at Li Xiu and said coldly.

Jiu Xiaoyun groaned secretly, while Jing Li and Sha Chu also stared at the old sword warily, secretly holding the handle tightly.

"Why don't I dare to come?" Li Xiu smiled.

"Li Changyin specially asked someone to come over and inform me. If you come, you must let me save your life." Lao Dao said with a cold face.

Jiu Xiaoyun secretly wondered, they entered Tianmen immediately, Li Changyin's people should not have arrived so quickly, why did Lao Dao receive the news so quickly, and how did Li Changyin pass the news over.

"My life is here. If you want it, come and get it." Li Xiu walked to the front and said to Lao Dao.

"Then I'm not welcome." Lao Dao said and walked over.

Jing Li held the knife and wanted to block in front of Li Xiu, but Li Xiu reached out to stop him. He also walked towards the old knife.

"This guy wants to die again?" Jiu Xiaoyun felt depressed.

Seeing that Lao Dao had walked up to Li Xiu, Jiu Xiaoyun was considering whether he should run or stay if Li Xiu was killed, when he saw Lao Dao stretching out his arms to hug Li Xiu.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why are you here now?" Lao Dao asked with a smile after letting go of Li Xiu.

"At my current level, if I couldn't survive outside, why would I take the risk of coming to such a ghost place?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"What's going on? Aren't you doing well outside? Not only did you become the chief of the technician team, but you also took the resources of the magic equipment team away from Bai Wanli?" Lao Dao asked doubtfully.

Seeing that Lao Dao didn't know about the cultivation method and the competition, Li Xiu told what happened.

"Haha, I really saw the right person. You are extraordinary. You can actually come up with something like light cultivation. Now the world will be in chaos again." Lao Dao laughed and said, "Li Changyin sent someone here before.

He informed me that he was going to send you and Wan Chaoxin here to guard Tianmen and asked me to entertain you well. Unexpectedly, before he could get you here, you came by yourself. Don’t worry, I’m here, Li

Even if Changyin sends people in, they still can't find you."

Jiu Xiaoyun and Jing Li were both a little surprised to see that the relationship between Elder Dao and Li Xiu was so good.

Elder Dao is famous for his bad temper. He doesn't give face to anyone except the president and Li Changyin.

I didn't expect that Elder Dao would have such a strong relationship with Li Xiu, and would even go so far as to offend Li Changyin for Li Xiu.

"Lao Dao, I heard that your blood seal stone is at Li Changyin's place?" Li Xiu said.

"At my age, who cares about that? You don't have to worry about that." Lao Dao pulled Li Xiu and said, "You came just in time. If you don't come, I will have to throw away that thing. I said before

The benefit to you will be gone."

"What?" Li Xiu asked doubtfully.

"You'll know after you see it." Lao Dao pulled Li Xiu up the steps of the city gate tower.

Jing Li, Jiu Xiaoyun and Sha Chu also followed, and they quickly arrived at the city gate tower. They saw a two-meter-high brass furnace in the jade tower, with golden flames inside.

It's burning like crazy.

Li Xiu and the others heard screams coming from the brass furnace filled with golden flames.

"What you said you wanted to give me is this stove?" Li Xiu looked at Lao Dao in confusion.

Lao Dao chuckled and said, "No, the thing I'm talking about is the guy inside the stove."
