Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

The footsteps in the corridor stopped.

The night returned to tranquility, as if the footsteps just now were just an illusion.

In the ornate carved lantern, the candle slowly engulfed the candle. The cool night breeze penetrated into the hall, fluttering the decorative gauze curtains, and opened the gauze curtains on the windows, revealing the shadows of the trees outside the windows. The shadows of the whirling trees swayed wildly, like figures lying by the window peeping in.

Zhong Shi shook his head, which was groggy due to drunkenness, and dragged his vain steps towards Zizhu Luohan Tower. He needs some sleep. Only then did he have the strength to deal with that enchanting beautiful woman.

A moth flew into the carved cage and danced around the flames.

A teardrop fell down.

The hot and sticky candle tears stuck to the wings of the moth. The moth tried its best to hit the outside of the cage, but it had lost its direction and could only be carried by the hot candle tears and fell into the bottom of the lamp. Finally, it fluttered a few times. There was no more movement.

Zhong Shi suddenly felt an indescribable fear. He was startled for no reason. He woke up a little. He turned around suddenly and was shocked.

——A man in male servant clothes stood silently at the door with his head lowered.

But there was really no one at the door just now! And the footsteps stopped far before reaching the door!

Zhong Shi felt as if his scalp was exploding and the hairs all over his body stood up. His mind, which had been so drunk, suddenly sobered up. He didn't panic. Zhong Shi was also a cultivator in the Fusion Realm and the chief of Xuanxing Pavilion. There were not many people in the Zhong family who could topple him. This is still his mansion.

He watched the visitor with vigilance and quickly calmed down——He found that it was a woman, and a very beautiful one at that. The bulging skirt and the fair and delicate lower cheeks that are not covered by shadow all illustrate this fact.

Zhongshi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He happened to have a beautiful woman next to him who liked this little trick.

He laughed heartily and called out the woman's name:"Haha, Zou Meier uh……！"

The man raised his head.

He revealed a face shrouded in shadow, but it was not a human face at all. The huge, dark pupils were more like the eyes of an insect than the eyes of an animal!

Just when Zhong Shi wanted to scream, a blood-red, slender stick-like object suddenly stretched out from the"man's" hand and penetrated Zhong Shi's throat.

Zhong Shi could only open his eyes and let out a hissing sound from his mouth. He raised his hand and grabbed the thin stick and tried to break it, but the thin stick was like made of iron. No matter how hard he tried, it could not bend. Can't be folded. He trembled and tried his best, but it couldn't last long. The stick that penetrated Zhong Shi's throat suddenly turned like a poisonous snake, turning the spearhead at an extremely tricky angle and piercing Zhong Shi hard. left chest. The violent force shook Zhong Shi's hands apart.

The bright red threads were like countless poisonous snakes swimming in the human body, and like the roots of plants, they penetrated Zhong Shi's body and quickly covered his whole body. The strange patterns resembled vines and snakes, and the color slowly became lighter, brighter, and brighter, gradually changing from blood red to orange-red to orange, and finally turned into dazzling gold.

At the same time, Zhongshi, who was entangled by the penetration, was like a fruit that had been sucked dry, slowly turning gray and withering. With a few crunching sounds, Zhong Shi's hands and feet were broken, his chest collapsed, and his pelvis was shattered. His whole body felt like it had been crushed by a rolling stone. Starting from the limbs, it was flattened and crushed like paper. Even his body, which had been stooped all year round, was straightened and flattened.

Zhong Shi was not dead yet, but he could no longer see his body because even his neck, which could help him turn his head, had been flattened. He could only open his mouth and pupils in shock and panic.

The"person" slowly came closer, and her face had returned to its beautiful and charming appearance, but Zhong Shi only felt that it was the face of a devil that was even more terrifying than before.

The man smiled and held a golden ball in one hand. A thin golden line was extending from the ball, which was the end of the vine that penetrated Zhong Shi's body. The man touched Zhong Shi's face with one hand and said with a sweet smile:"I didn't expect that he could suck out so much. Sure enough, the more greedy a person is, the more oil and water he has."

She licked her lips, as if she was seeing a delicious meal, There was a bloodthirsty and cruel light in his eyes. She withdrew her hand forcefully, and all the golden ropes were pulled back into the golden ball.

The next moment, Zhong Shi felt a blood streak across his eyes and lost consciousness.

In the Wufu Building on the first floor of Xiacheng, which is far away from Haitang Garden across the Mengchuan River, Zhong Jianan, the young boss, climbed to the top of the building under the guidance of his mother, Zou Shui'er. On the top floor, he met Du Yu, the legendary master of Xuanzhen Sect who had gone away, and there was a beautiful woman behind Du Yu, who was his aunt Zou Meier.

Du Yu didn't waste any time, took out the small ball in his arms, released the wine dragon claw cultivated in the small ball, picked the cherry barley-shaped fruit from the grass blades and handed it to Zhong Jianan, saying kindly:" Eat it."

Zhong Jianan has never seen such a fruit. The whole body is shining with golden light, as dazzling as gold, but crystal clear like gems. How could there be such a beautiful fruit in this world? He took it carefully, held it in his hands, swallowed, and looked at his mother helplessly.

Zou Shui'er urged with expectation:"Eat it quickly. This is specially prepared by Master Du for you. It is much more powerful than the previous medicine. What is this called... what is it called?"

Du Yu sighed. , said angrily:"It's called 'blood gentian'"’"

Zou Shui'er quickly flattered him:"Yes, yes, listen to the name. It's not a good thing that you can usually get!"

Zhong Jianan was also infected by Zou Shui'er's mood, and the hands holding the fruit trembled, and he raised his head He raised his hands and wanted to put it into his mouth.

Du Yu made a"tsk" sound, grabbed his hand, and said displeasedly:"You can't even 'eat', can you?" After saying this, Du Yu regretted it. This big boy was soaked in medicine with his own hands. He can't even practice spiritual practice or exhale, but doesn't he just not know how to"eat"? There is such an unlucky thing in the world. If you get a rare treasure, you won't even be able to eat it. It's about time he met him

"You put it in your hands and feel it with your heart."Du Yu thought he understood what he said, but Zhong Jianan was helpless. Zhong Jianan nodded blankly, holding the fruit in both hands, closing his eyes, looking like he was thinking hard, and there was no movement for a long time. He had no choice but to raise his head and look at Du Yu with doubts on his face - Du Yu held his forehead with a look of disgust on his face. He had no choice but to turn his head and look at Zou Shui'er who was also looking forward to it. Du Yu shook his head. There seems to be a saying in the human world,""I killed pigs in my previous life, but I will teach in this life"? Then he must have done too much killing to make him meet such a fool. There really is karma for daring.

"Mobilize the spirit essence to sense the essence of the whole body, and use your own essence to peel off other essences and devour them."After Du Yu finished speaking, he saw that Zhong Jianan was still looking at him with a confused expression. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood and couldn't help but cursed:"Hurry up and do it!"

Zhong Jianan just said"Oh", followed Du Yu's guidance, and began to mobilize his spiritual energy.

The fruit seemed to be peeled off, and the golden silk threads were peeled off from the fruit visibly, flowing light. A trace of light flowed into the palms of Zhong Jianan's hands. As more light was inhaled, the light gradually became darker, changing from golden to orange, orange, and gradually to blood red. Suddenly

, an inconspicuous gasping sound came from outside the window.

This The sound was not loud, but it was enough to attract the attention of spiritual cultivators.

Du Yu raised his palm and slashed the window together. There was only a"crash" sound of the shaft breaking and the wood cracking. The window, the edge of the window and the surrounding walls were shattered. , bursting out. Among the erupted debris, a figure was seen flashing past, and a ray of cold light shot out of the air, accurately passing through the broken wood and rubble, heading straight towards the boy who was still standing there.

Du Yu quickly turned around and shouted:"Be careful!"Almost at the same time, Zou Meier threw down Zhong Jianan with all his strength.

The broken wood and tiles fell to the ground, and the figure had no trace and could not be traced.

Neither Zou Shui'er nor Zhong Jianan could figure out what was going on. All they could see was the rare and precious stone. The fruit fell to the ground, and it lost its luster. It became shriveled and smelly like a leftover peach core. There was a small pool of bright red and smelly viscous liquid underneath.

"this……！"

Du Yu impatiently walked up to the three of them and crushed the shriveled fruit under his feet amidst the exclamations of Shui'er, Zhong Jianan and his son."That's enough." He said impatiently,"I've almost done what I need to inhale, no less."

He walked to the wall behind where Zhong Jianan was standing just now, and pumped hard with his fingers through the air. A bright dagger was pulled out from the wall.

The cold light just flashed, and it turned out to be a dagger.

And this happened to pass through the position where Zhong Jianan's head was when he was just standing, and the dagger, including the handle and the blade, was completely buried in the wall. The knife-thrower shows his murderous intent!

"ah!"It was only then that Zou Shui'er realized what had happened and screamed uncontrollably. Du Yu frowned and tapped Zou Shui'er's fainting point with his backhand.

Zou Mei'er avoided Shui'er's limp body and stepped aside.

"mother!"Before Zhong Jianan could get up, he hurriedly hugged Zou Shui'er who had fainted next to him. He looked at Du Yu and his unfamiliar aunt in puzzlement, still confused.

Zou Mei'er was too lazy to pay attention to her nephew, but instead He said slightly mockingly:"He ran away with a feint. Du

Yu played with the dagger in his hand, carefully traced the knife edge on the wall, and said,"It's a feint, but it's also a life-threatening blow.""

Du Yu turned around and looked at the wall that had collapsed.

The moonlight outside the wall was clear and there was no trace of the assassin. The tranquility of the midnight had been broken, and the people downstairs lit up their lights one after another, like a pool of A spark fell into the black oil, gradually boiling and making noise.

Du Yufa's eyes became sharp and sinister, and he said,

"This Immortal Sect really is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."
