Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 143 Yue Qiluo's Lair, Soul Locking Formation
The end of the year has come in a blink of an eye.

Late at night, in the quiet room of Qingyun Temple, Li Kunshan sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, the corners of his eyes twitching from time to time.

After a long time, calm was restored.

Another two or three hours passed before he opened his eyes.

"Hoo~!"

After exhaling a breath of foul air, Li Kunshan smiled slightly.

It finally worked.

During the past month of exchanging Taoist teachings, Chuchenzi focused on talismans and formations, while Li Kunshan focused on the primordial spirit. It was a good experience to learn from each other, and although it couldn't be said to be an epiphany, I gained a lot from it.

After Li Kunshan's own verification, he is now able to make preliminary use of his spiritual thoughts.

Buzz~!

With a humming sound, the divine consciousness that had condensed into a physical entity turned into a ball of light, like a fortress wall, completely enveloping the soul.

In this way, one can resist other people's spiritual methods, whether it is charm or direct attack with spiritual thoughts.

"Also."

Li Kunshan has only mastered the method of defense for the time being. It will take some time for him to use his spiritual power to attack others.

But in such a short time, it's already pretty good.

"Its daybreak."

I looked up and out the window, and the east was already turning white.

Li Kunshan smiled slightly, it's time.

"What? You're leaving!"

In the main hall of Qingyun Temple, Chu Chenzi was surprised to hear that Li Kunshan was here to say goodbye.

Then he looked embarrassed and said in a voice that was almost pleading.

"I've just figured out how to seal Yue Qiluo. If you leave now, I'll be wasting my time."

"The Taoist priest is joking."

"I'm not joking with you, I'm serious!"

"Ah."

Li Kunshan suddenly sneered, looked at Chu Chenzi with a deep gaze, and spoke after a while.

"Do you really want to seal Yue Qiluo?"

"Of course! How could this be false?"

"Master, we've been together for a while now. Even if we're not friends, we're at least acquaintances. There's no need to hide things between acquaintances!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Kunshan suddenly slapped Chu Chenzi.

Chu Chenzi's eyes widened instantly, but he seemed to have been on guard against Li Kunshan for a long time, and immediately raised his arms to block.

Bang~!

With a dull thud, Chu Chenzi was knocked out more than ten meters, and his feet plowed a dark mark on the floor.

"Daozhang Li!"

After regaining his balance, Chu Chenzi looked at Li Kunshan with a gloomy expression.

"What does this mean?"

"Still pretending? I'll give you a sack, you've already exposed yourself."

"What are you giving me a sack for?"

Chu Chenzi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and frowned at Li Kunshan.

After a moment, he suddenly smiled.

"I think I acted well. How did you know that?"

"I said it was intuition, do you believe it?"

Li Kunshan had a playful look on his face and said lightly.

It was naturally not just intuition that I discovered that there was something wrong with Chuchenzi.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have been deceived by Chuchenzi, but Li Kunshan is not an ordinary person, he is a time traveler, and he actually "knows" Chuchenzi very well.

Chu Chenzi was very concerned about his reputation, so he didn't want people to mention his relationship with Yue Qiluo, but this person actually took the initiative to tell Li Kunshan as soon as they met.

Li Kunshan felt at that time that something was wrong with this Chuchenzi.

He also said that he wanted to seal Yue Qiluo, which was even more wrong. Chu Chenzi was timid and afraid of trouble. He would be grateful to his ancestors if Yue Qiluo didn't cause him trouble. How could he dare to take the initiative to seal Yue Qiluo?
In addition to these, there are many anomalies.

Although it is a world integrated by multiple film and television dramas, the plot will change due to their mutual influence, but based on Li Kunshan's experience, the character settings remain unchanged.

So he guessed that there was something wrong with this Chuchenzi.

Of course, guesses are just guesses, so Li Kunshan gave it a try.

I didn't expect it to be so easy to try out.

"You lied to me!"

Seeing Li Kunshan's smile, Chu Chenzi suddenly reacted and his face was full of annoyance.

However, he had already admitted it and there was no way to make up for it.

"I'm just giving it a try."

Li Kunshan spoke in a light tone, looked at Chu Chenzi, and suddenly asked a question.

"You are Chuchenzi, right?"

"Of course!"

"Oh, I see."

Li Kunshan had two speculations before. One was that this Chuchenzi was fake, and the other was that Chuchenzi was controlled by someone.

Now it seems that it is the second case.

As for who controls her, it could be anyone else but Yue Qiluo.

In other words, Chu Chenzi, like the snake demon in Qingzhu Inn, is Yue Qiluo's subordinate!
This also explains why Qingyun Temple and Qingzhu Inn are only twenty miles apart, because they are in the same group, not in opposition between good and evil.

It seems that Yue Qiluo first sent the snake demon to deal with Li Kunshan, and after failing, she then sent Chu Chenzi.

Killing that zombie was just a way of using a pawn to gain Li Kunshan's trust.

"So what if you know!"

Chu Chenzi's face was gloomy, and he suddenly sneered.

"Do you really think that I've been treating you to delicious food and drinks for over a month just to discuss Taoism with you?"

"From what you said, what other conspiracy do you have?"

"Haha~! You realize it too late."

Chu Chenzi threw his head back and laughed twice, his face full of pride.

"I poisoned your food a long time ago. You've already been poisoned by my Gu!"

"Poison?"

"That's right. As long as I chant the spell, the poisonous insect will madly bite your flesh and blood, causing your intestines to rupture and..."

"Is this what you're talking about?"

"That's right! That's it... How did you vomit it out?!"

Before Chu Chenzi could finish his words, his eyes widened and he was stunned.

Looking at the red insect eggs in Li Kunshan's palm, his face was full of disbelief.

He clearly saw Li Kunshan eat it at that time. After so many days, the poisonous worm should have hatched long ago.

Once this kind of poisonous insect hatches, it will use its claws to embed itself firmly in the stomach and intestines, making it impossible to remove.

"I can spit out whatever I eat if I want to."

Li Kunshan said lightly, looking at Chu Chenzi with a hint of contempt.

Since he had doubts in his heart for a long time and had just suffered a loss at Qingzhu Inn, how could he not be on guard?

Not only did he pay special attention to the aromatherapy, but all the food he ate in Qingyun Temple was stored in another stomach bag by him using [Swallowing Elephant], and he didn't eat it at all!
In reality, if it was just a Gu worm or ordinary poison, Li Kunshan would have no problem eating it. With his [Gluttonous Stomach], he could digest any poison without any harm.

However, just in case, Li Kunshan stored extra supplies.

"What other means do you have now? If you have none, call your master out."

Li Kunshan said lightly as he crushed the insect with a slight twist of his fingers.

"Li Kunshan! You are too arrogant!"

Chu Chenzi's face was full of anger, even a little bit frustrated. He took down the magic sword hanging on the wall and rushed forward with a loud shout.

Bang~!

With a sharp sound, the tip of the sword was still several inches away from Li Kunshan's eyebrows, but it could not move forward any further.

"Tian Gang Great Toad Qi!"

Chu Chenzi snorted coldly, his face gloomy.

Tsk~!

The next moment, a black gas suddenly surged out of the sword, instantly tearing through the Tiangang Qi.

Li Kunshan immediately stepped back several meters and couldn't help but look at Chu Chenzi again.

This is falling into the devil's way.

Come to think of it, since he has become Yue Qiluo's subordinate, how could he stay clean?

I just don't know whether he was controlled by Yue Qiluo and fell into the evil path, or he was willing to fall into depravity on his own.

Li Kunshan thought that it should be the first possibility. After all, the Taoist priest Chuchenzi in the TV series, although a little timid, still stood firmly on the side of justice.

"Death!"

While he was thinking, Chu Chenzi shouted loudly and stabbed with his sword again.

Bang bang~!

Just as they were about to get close, two gunshots rang out. "Damn it! You're cheating!"

After narrowly escaping the attack, Chu Chenzi looked at the smoking pistol in Li Kunshan's hand with an annoyed look on his face.

"Why are the Taoist priests so outdated in their thinking?"

Li Kunshan smiled and pulled the trigger at Chuchenzi again while speaking.

Chu Chenzi widened his eyes and dodged quickly.

I have to say that for ordinary people, guns are really powerful.

But for experts, it is still very easy to dodge, as long as they choose the right time to attack and the direction of the gun.

Li Kunshan fired several shots, leaving several bullet holes in the wall, but none of them hit Chu Chenzi.

"never mind."

Li Kunshan shook his head, put the pistol back into his pocket, raised his hand and shot out several bolts of lightning.

"not good!"

Chu Chenzi, who was dodging bullets just now, could only respond hastily for a moment.

The magic sword swung vigorously, and a large amount of black gas spewed out, trying to block the lightning.

Boom~!

But unfortunately, the might of thunder is a sharp weapon used by God to punish evil and eliminate demons, so how can it be resisted so easily?

With a loud bang, Chu Chenzi was directly struck away by lightning.

His spotless Taoist robe was torn, and his hair and skin were burnt in many places.

"Master, surrender."

Li Kunshan said this and walked straight towards Chuchenzi.

Swish~!

Chu Chenzi's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he suddenly raised his hand and shot out a black gas.

Li Kunshan had been on guard and broke it with the thunder in his palm.

Bang~!

But this obstruction gave Chu Chenzi the opportunity to escape by jumping out of the window.

"Want to run? It's not that easy."

Looking at the staggering Chuchenzi, Li Kunshan smiled slightly and continued to chase after him.

After leaving Qingyun Temple, Chuchenzi ran straight into the mountains.

Li Kunshan followed behind, but was not in a hurry.

The dog was beaten outside and went back to find its owner immediately.

Now that Chu Chenzi has been beaten up by me, who will he go to?

"Humph."

Li Kunshan snorted lightly, with a sneer on his lips.

He originally didn't want to have too many grudges with Yue Qiluo, but Yue Qiluo tried to kill him again and again, and he was not made of clay, so how could he not react?

It is easy to dodge a spear but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. It is no use always being on guard. The best way is to kill the person who shoots the arrow from the dark!
Li Kunshan had already made up his mind, so he just followed Chu Chenzi and was not in a hurry to catch up.

After wandering around in the mountains for about two or three hours, Chu Chenzi suddenly disappeared.

Li Kunshan hurried over and saw a solitary grave standing in a valley.

Actually it’s not a grave, it just looks a bit like one.

"Is this right here?"

Li Kunshan walked up to him, looked him over, and had a serious expression on his face.

From the outside, it looks very much like the entrance to Yue Qiluo’s lair in the TV series!

I think Chu Chenzi went in there.

And Yue Qiluo might be in there too!

Boom~!

After observing for a while, Li Kunshan found the door and moved away the stone slab blocking it, revealing a cave leading downwards.

Zhizhi~!

To be on the safe side, I put a mouse puppet in first.

It’s not very deep, there is a passage underneath, and no danger has been found so far.

"almost."

Li Kunshan's face darkened and he jumped in directly.

Bang~!

It was over ten meters high, and with a dull thud, it landed steadily on the ground, stirring up a layer of dust.

Looking around, he saw a light in one direction and walked straight towards it.

It is a passage with braziers on the walls on both sides.

In this way, there is no need to use a fire stick to illuminate.

Unlike in the TV series, there are no stone statues on both sides of the passage here.

Li Kunshan remembers that inside the stone statue in the TV series, there was actually a mummy, that is, a zombie wrapped in bandages.

Since there are no zombies here, there should be no zombies.

As for where these zombies went, Li Kunshan couldn't help but think of the mummies under the well of Gu Mansion, where Yue Qiluo sealed them.

In the movie, the zombies caused a lot of trouble to the protagonist, but to Li Kunshan, they were nothing.

It's not here, which is a pity, as there are so many entries missing.

“It’s pretty deep.”

As he walked several miles in, looking around, Li Kunshan couldn't help but be amazed.

And the further you go in, the more the terrain seems to go downwards. It is estimated that we are already deep underground.

"arrive."

While thinking, I suddenly saw a door in front of me. It should be Yue Qiluo's lair.

Yue Qiluo's old nest was where Yue Qiluo practiced evil magic.

Moreover, she also imprisoned many souls here and used them as blood bags. Whenever her soul was damaged, she would come here to absorb the souls to repair it.

As for the ancient well under the Gu Mansion, that is where Yue Qiluo was sealed, and it is not actually her nest.

As for why Yue Qiluo had already escaped, the reason why they still arranged female demons and mummies to guard her was probably to prevent people from seeing the fortune formation diagram inside.

The so-called Fortune and Luck Formation was the formation that had originally sealed Yue Qiluo.

Now that he thought about it, when he was hunting ghosts in the Gu Mansion before, Li Kunshan really should have taken his tools and gone down again to make a copy of the Fortune Formation Diagram.

"I don't know if he's here."

It’s useless to think about these things now, the key is the present.

This is not the world in the drama. Yue Qiluo may not have met Zhang Xianzong, and it is very likely that she is inside at this time.

Thinking of this, Li Kunshan couldn't help but become more vigilant.

Squeak~!

When the stone door was pushed open, a huge space was revealed, but Yue Qiluo was nowhere to be seen, nor was Chu Chenzi who had escaped in.

Ah~Ah~!

There were ghostly howls in the air.

I had already opened my eyes, and when I looked up, I saw a large number of vengeful spirits and evil ghosts flying and roaring in the air.

"Soul Locking Formation?"

The so-called soul-locking formation is a formation used to restrain evil spirits.

These evil spirits were detained here, one to help Yue Qiluo guard the house, and the other to be absorbed by her at any time to restore her spirit.

In the TV series, he has no heart, no soul, and no spirit, and can enter and exit the soul-locking formation at will, and the evil spirits in it will not attack him.

But Chuchenzi who was with him could not do that. Even if he applied the talisman paper left by the ancestor, he could only hold out for a moment.

If an ordinary person enters the soul-locking formation, he will be torn into pieces by the evil spirit in an instant.

"Humph."

But for Li Kunshan, there is no need to care at all.

With a cold snort, he walked straight into the soul-locking formation.

Ah~Ah~!

As soon as he entered, he smelled the breath of a living person, and all the evil spirits rushed towards him accompanied by shrill roars.

Crackling~ crackling~!

Facing the swarm of evil spirits, Li Kunshan had a blank expression on his face and his body was flashing with lightning.

Boom~!

The next moment, countless lightning bolts were released, instantly covering the entire soul-locking formation.

In the flash of lightning, those evil spirits were instantly reduced to ashes.

[Kill the evil spirit and obtain the entry "Hunhunhoue" (white)! ]

[Kill the evil spirit and obtain the entry "Sarcastic (White)"! ]

……

At the same time, a series of system prompts sounded.

Li Kunshan took a glance and couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking it was so weak.
