Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Xuan Youzhu mentioned seven or eight examples in one breath, and finally said: "Since then, everyone on the mainland has been afraid to talk about the art of asking spirits, and no one is willing to practice it anymore, so it has now been lost. As for why people who ask spirits suddenly die or disappear, the reason is unknown."

Chu Xiaomu was horrified when he heard this. He had never thought that spiritual arts could be so dangerous, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Yang Dou said, "All the people who used the spirit-seeking technique died while asking for the spirits, so naturally they don't know the reason. You'd better not ask for the spirits, Mu Tou. It's not worth dying without knowing the reason."

Huai Xiaomeng said, "Coward, my uncle shouldn't have taught you this technique. If you don't dare to ask, teach me the technique now and I'll ask myself!"

Yang Dou teased, "I'm afraid you'll die before you can find out anything. By then, you, the Huai family warrior, will be dead on the ground, covered in maggots, and you won't be able to take revenge!"

Huai Xiaomeng was speechless. He suddenly raised his hand and punched Yang Dou, cursing, "Why did you curse me? That's why you died so miserably!"

Yang Dou chuckled, pretended to rub his chest, and cried out: "It hurts, it hurts..."

The tall and thin young man in black who was huddled in the corner suddenly said, "You are so pathetic that you can still laugh at this moment!" He was obviously targeting Yang Dou, and his accent was somewhat similar to Xuan Youzhu's.

Yang Dou was stunned. He didn't know why he was talking about him. He couldn't help but get angry and cursed: "I was about to laugh. What does it have to do with you? What do you think? You are just like a fish that hates bird shit and is afraid that it will pollute the sea. You are just worrying about nothing!"

The young man stood up and walked to Yang Dou as if nothing had happened. Suddenly, he took a small step with his right foot, pressed his shoulder with his right hand, knocked Yang Dou to the ground, and hit him in the lower abdomen with his elbow.

Yang Dou was hit in the softest part of his abdomen. He immediately lost his breath and felt severe abdominal pain. He curled up on the ground holding his stomach, unable to make a sound for a long time.

The young man walked back to his original seat, sat down, and closed his eyes, as if nothing had happened.

The young man in black moved extremely quickly and unexpectedly. Not only Yang Dou did not expect it, but Chu Xiaomu also did not expect it at all, so he was too late to stop him.

Huai Xiaomeng stood up suddenly, pointed at the young man and cursed: "We are talking to ourselves, who do you think you are and why do you have to interfere?!" He was upright and protective, and although he often quarreled with Chu Xiaomu and Yang Dou, they grew up together and had shared life and death together these days, so he regarded them as good friends.

Besides, being in a foreign land, all he saw were outsiders whose minds were hard to predict. Only Chu and Yang were considered his own people. So when he saw Yang Dou being bullied, he stood up for him.

Chu Xiaomu also stood up, stood in front of Huai Xiaomeng, and said, "We don't know how we offended you, brother, to make you do such a cruel thing. If you don't tell us the reason, don't blame us three for dealing with you alone."

At this time, Yang Dou gradually recovered his breath, stood up and cursed: "You are not a brave man, what's the point of sneak attack?! Get up, let's fight again!" He rolled up his sleeves, swung the iron chain with a clanging sound, and pretended to rush forward.

Chu Xiaomu hurriedly pulled him back and said, "Listen to him first, it won't be too late to fight him later."

The young man in black said coldly: "Whether you attack secretly or not, the result will be the same."

Yang Dou was so angry that he yelled, "Get up, let's fight again and see who is lying on the ground!"

The young man didn't say anything else and stood up to fight with Yang Dou.

Xuan Youzhu hurriedly separated the two and said, "Xuanying, brother, please be patient, be patient and listen to what I have to say." It turned out that he was acquainted with the young man.

The boy named Xuanying said bluntly: "What's the point of listening to a loser like you?!"

Xuan Youzhu was not angry at all. He stroked his beard with his saliva and said, "You called me a waste, which is very appropriate. But now we are in a bad place, we should love each other and help each other to overcome difficulties together. How can we create grudges and fight with each other? Wouldn't it make our relatives sad and our enemies happy?"

Xuanying ignored him and cursed, "Get out of the way here!" and pushed him away.

Huai Xiaomeng stepped forward and said, "Adou, this guy looks down on you, let me fight him first. I am your defeated opponent, if you can't beat me, call Mu Tou, if Mu Tou still can't beat you, then you can do it. I don't believe that I can't beat this guy."

In fact, he has been very fierce in fighting since he was a child. Yang Dou is far inferior to him. He always protects Yang Dou, all for his friend.

The two men were ready to attack when suddenly there was a sound of unlocking and the heavy wooden door was pushed open.

Two warriors walked in and drew out their sharp swords. One of them shouted, "What are you making so much noise for? Don't you want to live?!" Everyone was so scared that they dared not say a word. Huai Xiaomeng and Xuan Ying also stopped.

The warrior continued, "My lord said that we will set out for Jinyang City early tomorrow morning. There will be a lot of hardships along the way, so you'd better watch out for your lives. If you don't want to live, tell me as soon as possible so that I can feed you to wild dogs!"

Chu Xiaomu and the other two had heard from their teacher about several major cities in Cangmu Country, including Xihai City, Baijun City, Anfeng City, Jinyang City, etc., but they didn't know where they were. Suddenly they heard that they were going to Jinyang City, but as slaves without any freedom, and they didn't know how many dangerous obstacles lay ahead, so they were terrified.

After the warrior finished speaking, he brought in a large wooden barrel and more than 20 sets of bowls and chopsticks, threw them on the ground, and said, "Eat this meal so that you can have the strength to get on the bus tomorrow. There may not be so much delicious food for you on the road!"

Several warriors left the stone house and locked the wooden door again.

As soon as the sound of locking the door was heard, all the slaves rushed forward and immediately divided up all the food in the barrel.

There were slurping sounds as people ate, and it turned out to be just some thin porridge and vegetable soup.

Xuan Youzhu drank the porridge while saying, "The world is really going downhill, ah, the world is going downhill..."

Before Chu Xiaomu and the other two could react, the food had been snatched away. They each held an empty bowl in their hands and stood there staring blankly.

Yang Dou consoled himself by saying, “Even if this disgusting food was given to me, I might not be able to eat it.” He then threw the bowl to the ground, breaking it into pieces.

Huai Xiaomeng and Chu Xiaomu also threw their bowls to the ground and broke them. Fortunately, the three of them had eaten a lot last night, so although they were a little hungry at this time, they were not too hungry.

Xuanying finished the porridge in just a few bites, threw the bowl aside, and sat down in the corner without saying a word.

Huai Xiaomeng was about to speak out to provoke, but Chu Xiaomu stopped him and said, "Uncle Xuan is right. It is not right for us to not deal with the enemies outside but start a fight ourselves."

Xuan Youzhu collected the bowls and chopsticks that everyone had used after eating the porridge, and carefully placed them in the wooden barrel. He also picked up the broken pieces of the bowls that Chu Xiaomu and the other two had dropped and placed them in the corner.

He said: "Listen to what I have to say. Human affairs are unpredictable, and good and bad fortune can happen at any time. Going to Jinyang City, I really don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse. However, if your heart is positive, there will be a wide road ahead to connect you; if your heart is dark, there will only be a deep abyss blocking you. As long as you can keep your life, everything is possible..."

Chu Xiaomu agreed with what he heard, and thought that although he was extremely pedantic, his words did make a lot of sense.

Xuanying snorted coldly and said nothing.
