I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

The Tianqi Mountains are dangerous and unpredictable. Even a convoy like Wanbaolou's has to travel day and night without stopping unless there are special circumstances.

When it suddenly stopped without any warning, Su Rumei frowned immediately.

The subordinate quickly came to report: "Manager Su, there are some problems on the road ahead."

"Something went wrong?"

Su Rumei raised her eyebrows and without waiting for her subordinates to answer, she immediately left the carriage and went forward to check.

Sure enough, I'll see you.

The road ahead of the convoy was originally smooth, but at some point, a bamboo forest appeared, stretching as far as the eye could see, leaving only a narrow path.

"We in Wanbao Tower have always been walking along this road, and the monks have always walked along this road in the past. Normally, we should be able to walk all the way to Yunxiao City along this road."

"And just three months ago, I walked this road. It was smooth sailing then, albeit with some bumps, but there was definitely no bamboo forest here!"

Hearing what her subordinates said, Su Rumei had already come to the bamboo forest to check it out.

They are all ordinary green bamboos, nothing special.

I walked a few more steps inside and didn't find anything wrong.

but……

It was this fruitless result that made Su Rumei frown even more. Although green bamboo can grow rapidly after a spring rain, it could not grow so densely.

That's not normal.

"Can we take another route?" Su Rumei asked.

"I'm afraid not."

The subordinate shook his head: "If we want to change the route, we can only retreat to the fork in the road we took yesterday. The journey is longer and the road is more difficult to travel. If we delay, it will probably take up a lot of time."

Su Rumei frowned immediately.

In fact, as cultivators, they can use flying instruments to fly, so a mere bamboo forest is no problem.

But this is the Tianqi Mountains.

There are countless unknown dangers hidden here. It's okay for a short journey, but flying such a large caravan is extremely dangerous and unpredictable.

"Do you need someone to scout the way?" asked the subordinate.

"Alright." Su Rumei nodded. "Let's get a few people to walk around in the bamboo forest and see if there's anything wrong."

The subordinate immediately took the order and left.

But not long after, when the subordinate came back again, his face looked a little unhappy: "Manager Su, everyone is making excuses and is unwilling to go..."

"Why?" Su Rumei raised her eyebrows.

"I'm looking for the few Qi-refining cultivators who were accompanying us, but they either said their cultivation was insufficient or that they had reached a critical stage in their cultivation, and they were unwilling to go. They also said..."

"What else can you say?"

"They also said that since that monk who had entered the Dao could ride in a carriage all by himself, he must be more powerful than them. They told us to go find him..."

Hear this.

Su Rumei frowned immediately.

She had known from before that this group of people would find an opportunity to target Gu Xiu, and she even wanted to see how Gu Xiu would perform.

But unfortunately, Gu Xiu rarely came out of the carriage after entering it, and he almost forgot about it.

But I didn't expect it.

This group of people would target Gu Xiu at this time.

It's just a matter of exploring the way, and it can be done by just a few Qi-refining cultivators. They are all casual cultivators who happened to be along the way.

Wanbaolou pays them.

I didn't expect that everyone would shirk responsibility now.

This made Su Rumei frown for a while, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally said:

"Go ask Fellow Daoist Feng if he's interested in going and taking a look. By the way, tell him that if he goes, we'll give him a separate reward."

The men left quickly, and the shadowy figure appeared quietly: "You want to give him a chance?"

"Yes." Su Rumei nodded. "Since he is also willing to show off in front of our Wanbao Tower, there is no reason for me to stop him."

As the manager, Su Rumei naturally couldn't be captured by a group of casual cultivators.

It seemed like she was giving in, but in fact, she just wanted to give Gu Xiu a chance. After all, she always felt that Gu Xiu was also waiting for an opportunity to perform in Wanbao Tower.

Now, the opportunity has come.

She believed that Gu Xiu would not refuse.

really.

Not long after, the subordinates reported:

"That Feng Xianchang agreed, but he said that this was within the scope of his duties and there was no need to add additional spirit stones."

This answer.

This made Su Rumei more certain of her guess.

Walking towards the carriage where Gu Xiu was, I saw Gu Xiu in white clothes and white hair.

He was also slowly walking out of the car.

However, everyone around was looking at him with gloating eyes:

"Boy, this bamboo forest didn't exist before. Be careful when you go there later. Don't lose your life in it by accident."

"He was able to gain the favor of Manager Su and enter the Dao with the fourth level of Qi Refining. His strength must be very strong. Why should we worry about him?"

"Yes, who knows, even if we encounter danger later, we can easily kill the thief."

"..."

The tone of this group of people was sarcastic, and the looks they gave Gu Xiu were full of sarcasm.

Even Su Rumei couldn't help but frown at these words.

Gu Xiu himself, on the other hand, remained unmoved.

His expression remained calm, as if these teasings were not directed at him at all.

He simply picked up the wooden stick that had been with him all the way, nodded to Su Rumei, and walked towards the bamboo forest.

From beginning to end.

He didn't even glance at the group of Qi-refining monks.

This made the people who were bullying Gu Xiu feel like they were punching cotton. They couldn't help but become more angry and spoke harshly.

even.

There are also sinister people who curse Gu Xiu to enter the bamboo forest and encounter danger.

Su Rumei frowned.

She wanted to scold them and let them go, but she hadn't said what was in her heart yet.

Several exclamations were heard suddenly.

"Oh no! This bamboo forest is a formation!"

“It has changed, it has changed!”

"It's really a formation!"

what?

Everyone was stunned. Su Rumei rushed to the bamboo forest as soon as possible. As expected, she saw that the bamboo forest, which originally had a narrow passage, was now completely closed.

The green bamboo is just ordinary green bamboo, looking unremarkable and ordinary.

But rather.

If she had not seen this bamboo forest before, she would probably not have known that it had changed.

There is only one explanation for wanting to go to this extent.

Formation!

Someone has set up a large formation here, waiting for them to enter!

Thinking of this, Su Rumei immediately took to the air.

For safety reasons, she didn't fly too high, but when she looked at the bamboo forest in front of her, she couldn't help but feel inexplicably shocked.

I saw.

As far as the eye can see, there are bamboo forests everywhere!

Moreover, the bamboo forest is constantly changing. Looking down from above, it looks like seeing a Bagua diagram rotating, which is extremely complicated.

"This formation is the Green Bamboo Dragon Trapping Formation..."

Su Rumei's eyelids twitched wildly, and then her heart suddenly sank:

"not good!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Rumei fell down almost subconsciously.

The moment she took action, she saw several bamboo poles emitting strong spiritual energy fluctuations shooting towards the place where she was just now.

If she had reacted a little slower.

I'm afraid that by now, he has been pierced into a hedgehog by those green bamboos!

but.

Even though Su Rumei escaped the disaster, when she just landed on the ground, large clumps of bamboo shoots suddenly appeared one after another.

Emerge from the ground!

Immediately afterwards, it rose from the ground at an incredible speed and instantly separated the Wanbaolou convoy layer by layer.

"what happened?"

"Where did these bamboos come from?"

"What kind of formation is this?"

"Oh no! Retreat quickly!"

"There is no way out!"

This sudden scene immediately caused everyone in the convoy to exclaim in surprise.

When Su Rumei saw this scene, her heart sank even more.

She just discovered.

In fact, they had already entered the formation unknowingly long before!

The bamboo forest blocked the road before.

It’s not that they just discovered the formation, but because they had actually entered the formation a long time ago and had reached a dead end!

There is no possibility of escape!

And now, the formation is activated at full power and is about to attack them!

Su Rumei was familiar with the Green Bamboo Dragon Trapping Formation, which was extremely powerful.

But this formation wants to be built.

It takes a lot of time and a lot of spirit stones!

It is clear.

The person who built the formation came for their Wanbaolou caravan!

"We have gone too deep into the formation. Our retreat is blocked and our front is blocked. We are completely trapped in the formation!" The shadow reappeared at this moment.

Su Rumei also frowned: "The people in the main formation want to completely split our convoy, divide and conquer it one by one!"

"I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy casualties this time!"

"How do we break this formation?"

"do not know."

The two of them exchanged words quickly, and their expressions became increasingly ugly.

This is a dilemma, even a desperate situation!

Someone has been planning for a long time for this caravan of their Wanbao Tower, wanting to destroy it all in one blow!

Even more terrifying.

They have been trapped in the formation and there is nothing they can do!

Just as the two were discussing how to break the formation and how to save their lives in it, a scream was suddenly heard.

"Hey, why are these green bamboos withered?"

These words made Su Rumei stunned. She turned her head to look and saw the green bamboo that was so mysterious just now growing wildly around them.

At this moment, they began to wither one after another at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Turn to ashes.

However, in just a moment, the green bamboo formation that had just separated the convoy suddenly collapsed.

All this happened too fast.

So much so that everyone in the convoy still didn't understand what was going on, even Su Rumei and Yingzi were the two people who discovered the mystery of this formation.

They couldn't help but look at each other with confused expressions.

This……

what happened?

“Tap~tap~tap…”

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and then they saw.

When thousands of green bamboos withered rapidly and turned into ashes.

A man in white clothes and white hair.

Walking leisurely and slowly...
