Chapter 272 Just Out of the Tiger's Mouth, and Into the Wolf's Den Again

Panlong Mountain, a national A-level scenic spot in Jingfu City.

As an official nature reserve, Panlong Mountain has maintained its appearance thousands of years ago, and all kinds of precious ancient trees and rare and unique scenery have been preserved.

However, it is beyond the reach of ordinary tourist routes. Deep in Panlong Mountain, an ancient Taoist temple stands on a mountainside covered by layers of forest. The sky is blue and the clouds are white, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. On both sides of the gate of the Taoist temple, there is even a pair of couplets on white paper and red letters.

The first couplet says: The bell strikes the moon, the chime rests and the clouds return. Is it not a fairy island?

The second couplet says: Birds bring spring and the wind blows flowers away. This is the human world, not the human world.

Hengpi: The door to all wonders.

Just such a scene makes it look like a place where an outsider lives, and the couplets and the horizontal inscriptions on the plaque on the door are even more grand.

However---

"Ning Huai is dead."

In the small courtyard inside the Taoist temple, in front of the incense burner, amid the misty fireworks, there was a worldly argument: "The corpse exorcists and Ning Huai have joined forces. Even the two great Zhoutian masters cannot defeat that Xun Xi. I have long since I just said, if you don’t take action, that’s it. If you do, you must go all out.”

"You don't believe it."

"Do you understand now?" The person who spoke was an old man wearing a Taoist robe. Unfortunately, although he was wearing a Taoist robe, his face did not have any fairy air.

Instead, his face was full of anger.

He looked like a fierce bandit.

In fact, this is indeed the case. This man did make his fortune by being a bandit, and he once made a big name in the northwest area of ​​Yanzhou. In that era when warlords were everywhere, the name "Dry Land Golden Dragon Laisandao" was the target that many big warlords wanted to win over.

But this guy is very smart.

When the chaos in Yanzhou was calmed down, he decisively washed his hands in the golden basin, abandoned all forces and embraced morality. This was how he saved his life.

"You don't know, I don't know."

"The hospital that Xun Xi inherited was founded by that lunatic Zhou Zhiyuan!"

Although he is already over sixty years old, Lai Sandao still speaks with great vigor, but underneath this loud voice, there is fear hidden.

How strong is Zhou Zhiyuan?

As a contemporary, Lai Sandao has the most say. After all, people who are too old will have the filter of their predecessors, and they always feel that the younger generations are nothing special. And those who are too young have the idea of ​​​​being behind the curve and always feel that their predecessors have been photographed dead on the beach. The evaluation of both is not objective.

At least Lai Sandao felt that he had a clear understanding of Zhou Zhiyuan.

I saw him saying with certainty: "There were only two kinds of extraordinary people in that era. One was Zhou Zhiyuan, and the other was unable to defeat Zhou Zhiyuan."

"And Xun Xi inherited Zhou Zhiyuan's hospital."

"Intelligence shows that he even inherited the will-o'-the-wisp."

"It can be said that he is like a younger and more powerful Zhou Zhiyuan!"

"In the face of him, you actually think that you can kill him by sending just two people. Are your brains broken? I won't play with you, old man. To tell you the truth, Cixin Temple has secretly recruited me several times. I will go now When I shave my head, the barber shop down the mountain gives me a 20% discount."

The rest of the crowd: "."

"Ahem." Finally, another person said helplessly: "Mr. Lai, don't you understand that we are the kind of foolhardy people?"

"I think it looks like it!" Lai Sandao said angrily.

"Don't worry." Another person whispered: "If Ning Huai succeeds, it is best. If Ning Huai fails, we are also prepared to deal with it."

"Can't you just stop provoking others?"

"Unfortunately, no."

One person shook his head and said: "Because Tu Su will not let us go. When the Jing Guisi was just established, Tu Su still needed us to help support the framework of the Jing Guisi. But now, there are more and more extraordinary people among the people, and Tu Su has no intention of letting us go." The pressure from the master-disciple faction like us is getting bigger and bigger."

"Given time, Tu Su will definitely try to kill us."

"This is a conflict that is destined to break out. Coupled with Tu Su's strength, if we don't try to strike first, we will have to sit back and wait for death."

"so?"

Lai Sandao picked out his nostrils when he heard this: "If you ask me, take that elixir that your ancestors were after."

Before he finished speaking, Lai Sandao took the initiative to shut his mouth. Because he found that the atmosphere of the people around him suddenly changed significantly.

"Mr. Lai, we will treat you as our guest."

"That doesn't mean you can talk nonsense."

"What's so bad about it?" Lai Sandao curled his lips when he heard this: "Tomorrow I will go to the barber shop at the foot of the mountain to have my hair shaved. You guys are too unhappy."

Everyone was speechless again.

After a while, someone continued: "In short, we actually did something to the road sign that Ning Huai used to block the battlefield."

"Hands and legs?"

"Yes." The other party said frankly: "The road signs are actually in pairs. The one given to Ning Huai can create a road that cannot be walked out after being hung up. The other one is just the opposite. Afterwards, a path can be carved out to a fixed location.”

"Fixed location. Where?"

"The Luo family's ancestral home."

After the words fell, someone sneered: "Although that place has been sealed off by Tu Su himself, it is still a deserted place where people hate and ghosts hate."

"It would be perfect to send that Xun Xi in."

"It would be best for Tu Su to rescue him himself, then he would kill two birds with one stone."

"The ancestral home of the Luo family." Lai Sandao scratched his head when he heard this, and vaguely recalled: "...I remember that it seemed to be a family."

"Fate valve?"

Someone shook his head: "When Yanzhou was in chaos, in order to protect ourselves, we aristocratic families hugged each other based on their respective inheritances. This is how we have today's master-disciple sect, our moral values, Cixin Temple, and To govern the school. But the Luo family is different from us."

"What's different?" Lai Sandao asked curiously.

"They don't need to huddle together for warmth." The other party explained: "And more importantly, the Luo family was concentrating on researching an epoch-making feat."

"What feat?"

"They are trying to create one with all their strength." At this point, the other party even lowered his voice a lot: "The real last generation of supernatural beings."

"strangeness."

On the endless road, Xun Xi played with the mysterious road sign and looked at the unchanged scene around him in surprise.

"Are you lying to me?"

Immediately afterwards, Xun Xi lowered his head and looked at Luo Chong and the corpse chaser who were lying on the ground: "Didn't you say that if you take off the road sign and block it, it will disappear?"

"I don't know!" Faced with Xun Xi's questioning, Luo Chong said innocently: "I'm just a migrant worker. Every wrongdoer has his own debtor, and the person next to me has the real moral values." Man, he hung up the road sign with his own hands, why don't you go and torture him?"

Corpse driver: "!!!"

"I don't know either!" Seeing Xun Xi looking at him, the corpse driver quickly shook his head and said: "I am just a guest in the moral sense!"

"Your guest?"

Xun Xi touched his chin when he heard this. It should be said that he was from a rich and powerful family with a long history. He was just a worker, and he still used such a nice name.

"Forget it, I'll see it myself."

Thinking of this, Xun Xi ignited the fire of memory and planned to directly search for the memories of Luo Chong and the corpse chaser.

But at this moment-——

"Kacha!"

Suddenly, the supernatural road sign in Xun Xi's hand suddenly trembled, and then cracks appeared, splitting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Um?"

Immediately afterwards, a layer of mist suddenly appeared on the road that had no end in sight, and a scene like an ancient small town was gradually reflected in the mist. And as the mist spread, the small town was still far away in the horizon at first, but in just a few seconds, it came all the way to Xun Xi.

There is a plaque hanging high on the tower with three characters:

【Luofeng County】
