Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 394 Do you also like this style of bellyband? [Seeking monthly votes]

Peace returned to the world, except for the waterfall rushing down, crashing against the rocks and stirring up white waves.

Lu Zhan's black robe seemed to melt into the night, and he couldn't wait to step into the Water Curtain Cave.

People who often practice Taoism know that searching a house is a very important thing, regardless of whether one is rich or poor. There may not be any clues inside, but there will most likely be treasures of spiritual essence, and the more of these things, the better.

"..."

Tushan Shiyu looked at Lu Zhan's anxious expression and narrowed his clear starry eyes slightly.

She had seen Lu Zhan like this before on some perverts in Qingqiu. Whenever they met a beautiful woman, those damn perverts would show such a hungry attitude.

But Lu Zhan didn't show this expression to her, but he showed this expression to the monsters and the monsters' remains.

It's just weird.

Although Tushan Shiyu rarely set foot in the Central Plains, he knew the living habits of the nobles.

Tushan Shiyu observed for a moment and said, "It should belong to those two Taoists. Open it and see what's inside."

For example, this one.

Lu Zhan was a little disappointed: "Why are they so frugal with just these things? They don't even have a single spiritual herb. With these conditions, they still want to be villains?"

Common storage rings do not have the function of recognizing the owner, and many thieves who are good at stealing can steal the things inside through the ring.

Tushan Shiyu thought of Lu Zhan's experience and said with a slightly apologetic tone: "Well, let's go."

When Tushan Shiyu thought about herself wearing this style, she felt a chill in her heart, but she respected Lu Zhan's preferences, so she didn't say much and walked towards the mountain wall ahead.

Although Lu Zhan and Tushan Shiyu don't have that ability, they still have the ability to open the ring.

"Rumble--"

A ball of fire appeared at Lu Zhan's fingertips, and the fire wrapped around the rings and burned them. In just a moment, the two rings began to emit a faint light, and the things hidden in the rings slowly appeared in front of him.

Not to mention any "clues" about the Sleeping Valley, there aren't even many basic spiritual herbs.

She came to southern Xinjiang to look for the magic stone, and noticed that there was something wrong with the veins of the Demon Sealing Ruins. She then traced the traces all the way to the Water Curtain Cave in the Sleeping Valley. She thought she would come across a clue, but unexpectedly, there was nothing there except two big monsters and an old Taoist priest.

Even if Tushan Shiyu knew that Lu Zhan was a lustful man who brought two maids with him to party every night, it didn't make sense for him to even take her bellyband, right?

Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes and saw that the two rings contained very little. Apart from clothes, there were a few pieces of silver and two rusty tokens, nothing else.

The earth trembled slightly with her movements, and deep underground, it seemed that there was a force responding to her perception.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhan put away the two storage rings, and picked up a palm-sized mandarin duck bellyband and stuffed it into his arms.

If Tushan Shiyu had not forcibly sensed the abnormality of the earth veins, the two would not have noticed that there was a barrier around them.

What's more...this is not something shameful.

The Water Curtain Cave was exceptionally spacious. Lu Zhan’s spiritual sense did not miss any corner, and he soon found two storage rings among some rubble.

Lu Zhan smiled but said nothing, following slowly behind him.

This type of barrier is not very secretive. Normal cultivators can sense the existence of the barrier when approaching it, but they dare not break it easily.

"Are you poor?" Tushan Shiyu stepped on the stone, her blood dotted her snow-white skirt like red plums. She stared at the young man's back and couldn't help asking.

Do you really think everyone has a good father like you?

""

Lu Zhan used his divine sense to search the cave, but his expression became somewhat sad:

"I once owned countless properties and countless magical herbs. But one night, I woke up from a dream and could only rely on collecting spoils to make a living. You have never experienced what I went through, so you won't understand."

"..."

Lu Zhan said calmly, "I think the style is good. I'll take it out and make a few more. Why, do you also like this style of bellyband?"

Lu Zhan was deeply aware of his shortcomings. It seemed that he still needed to make progress. After returning, he would study the formation of barriers and make up for his weaknesses. Otherwise, he would feel insecure.

Tushan Shiyu suddenly withdrew his hand and looked forward: "Someone has set up a barrier here. There is still space behind the cave. The barrier isolates the breath inside, maybe there is something inside."

"Ok?"

Tushan Shiyu looked at Lu Zhan suspiciously with a strange expression: "What are you doing?"

The nobles disdained collecting spoils of war.

There are countless kinds of barriers in the world. The barrier that Lu Zhan often sets up is the most common isolation barrier, which is used to prevent outside exploration.

Tushan Shiyu took two steps back, his eyes slightly disdainful: "I don't have your habit."

However, some barriers are more profound and require special materials to set up. Once set up successfully, even high-level cultivators will find it difficult to detect the existence of the barrier if they do not understand the principles of the barrier well enough.

Lu Zhan was confident and righteous.

Tushan Shiyu rummaged around for a while, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. She suddenly turned her palm downward, and a purple light surged from her palm.

That palm-sized piece of cloth can only cover half of her waist. It's like wearing nothing. What's the point?

Only men like these weird things.

Lu Zhan was overjoyed: "In that case, we can just try to break the barrier."

Which villain is so poor?

"Maybe... they are not bad guys?" Tushan Shiyu murmured to herself. She did not pursue the spiritual herbs, but quickly searched for the things in the spiritual ring.

After a while.

Tushan Shiyu's brows were furrowed, and her pretty face was tense. She madly circulated her true Qi, stubbornly sensing the earth veins, trying to find out what was wrong with the Sleeping Valley.

Although Tushan Shiyu lived a long time, according to the information he learned, this fox had spent thousands of years fighting and secluded himself, and had almost nothing else to do in his life.

Even if you know some theoretical knowledge, you don’t understand a man’s heart at all.

Can a bellyband that can be stored in a storage ring be an ordinary bellyband? I guess it is a descendant bag.

The Taoist priest definitely did not come to the Sleeping Valley for tourism; the two of them might be carrying a secret.

Perhaps we can find out something related to the Taoist's identity based on the bellyband, and then continue to follow the clues to get deeper.

Lu Zhan was somewhat helpless. If there were any other clues, he would never let go of even the bellyband. Now the situation was not optimistic, he could not let go of anything that might be a clue.

There are not many manufacturers of such distinctive bellybands, whether in the Central Plains or southern Xinjiang, and they are not assembly line products, so it should not be difficult to find them.

While thinking, Lu Zhan came to the mountain wall.

The mountain wall was green, smooth and flawless, and seemed flawless. But when I put my hand on it, I felt a vague barrier that blocked my hand from moving forward.

Lu Zhan touched it briefly and felt that it felt good, so he said, "Stand back."

Tushan Shiyu was slightly puzzled, but still stepped back a few steps. Seeing Lu Zhan's palms beginning to gather true energy, he was surprised and said:

"You want to use brute force to break the barrier? There are many types of barriers. If there are other restrictions, if you use brute force rashly, you may--"

"boom--"

Before Tushan Shiyu could finish his words, Lu Zhan's palm was wrapped in true Qi, and he raised his palm and slammed it hard on the stone wall.

There were rustling sounds all around, like glass breaking, and the smooth stone wall disappeared, leaving a hole more than one person tall in front of him.

The entrance of the cave is narrow, surrounded by piles of rocks and overgrown with moss and weeds. It is only wide enough for one person and it is impossible to walk side by side.

Lu Zhan moved his wrist, looked back and asked, "What did you just say?"

Tushan Shiyu had a strange look in her eyes. She had just thought that using brute force might backfire on herself, but now the situation had changed. She remained calm and said:

"Nothing, your body is still pretty strong, you didn't spend a lot of money, did you?"

In a sense, body tempering is similar to playing games. Although it also depends on talent/skills, as long as you spend enough gold and are willing to use elixirs, you can always become stronger, but there is a limit to your strength.

Lu Zhan waved his hand modestly: "It's all due to my hard work, it has nothing to do with the spiritual medicine."

"..."

Tushan Shiyu curled her lips. She didn't see that Lu Zhan was hardworking, she only saw that Lu Zhan was cynical and extremely lustful.

However, she still highly recognized Lu Zhan's talent. If he was born in Qingqiu, he would definitely be a powerful general under her. It was a pity that he was a human.

The two men walked to the entrance of the cave. Lu Zhan sent out true Qi into it. After making sure there was no danger inside, he went in first.

……

The cave passage was long, dark and cold, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

Because the passage was relatively narrow, Tushan Shiyu followed Lu Zhan closely. She was aware of the situation around her and her expression became increasingly serious.

Many people must have died in this cave.

The two of them didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing. After walking like this for about half a minute, Lu Zhan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

Tushan Shiyu was thinking about the magic stone when he bumped into Lu Zhan's back unexpectedly.

"..."

Tushan Shiyu's chest trembled. She subconsciously took two steps back and frowned, "Why did you stop suddenly?"

Lu Zhan ignored the soft and elastic feeling of the collision, looked forward, and said with a somewhat compassionate tone: "We're here."

Tushan Shiyu was blocked by Lu Zhan behind him and couldn't see what was happening in front of him, so he reached out to push him away, took a step forward, and looked stunned.

At the end of the passage was a circular deep pit with many corpses lying in a mess in the pit, about fifty or sixty in total.

The corpses had been preserved using secret methods and had not decayed. They were filled with a sinister aura, as they had all died with their heads smashed to pieces, making it impossible to identify the other person.

Even though Tushan Shiyu was used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he still looked serious at this moment:

"No wonder the ground veins here are different. It turns out to be the resentment of the cultivators..."

The black, resentful air had penetrated deep into the ground. The surrounding rocks had even been corroded and turned black, indicating that countless people had died here.

Lu Zhan frowned, "Those two old dragons are not local dragons. These people must have been killed by those two old Taoists. It's strange, why did they kill so many cultivators?"

Tushan Shiyu said nothing. She took two quick steps and her eyes fell on the neck of a corpse.

It was a strange circular pattern.

Tushan Shiyu observed carefully for a while before whispering, "These patterns are a bit strange, as if they were some kind of sacrificial ritual... I've seen some sacrifices with similar patterns."

"A sacrificial ceremony?" Lu Zhan looked around. "The Demon Sealing Ruins is the place where the ancient Mirage Demon fell. Will they be sacrificing to the Mirage Demon? I have seen such a record in a book. It says that as long as you devote yourself to worshipping a demon or god, you can receive the blessing of the other party."

"..."

Tushan Shiyu didn't think that the mirage demon could be resurrected, but thinking about the Ten Thousand Demon King, she was not sure, and said softly:

"The Mirage Demon died in ancient times. He was a general under the Gu God. If the Mirage Demon can live, doesn't it mean that the Gu God can also live? This is ridiculous."

Lu Zhan also felt that this guess was too big, but there were no other clues at the moment.

He came here to look for the sacred stone and thought he could find clues in the Sleeping Valley, but the result was not satisfactory.

However, what is certain at present is that the reason why those spies who were lurking in southern Xinjiang to secretly look for the sacred stone disappeared in the Demon Sealing Ruins was probably because of those two old guys.

Lu Zhan sighed slightly, wanting to test Tushan Shiyu's thoughts, and said:
