[Liao Zhai] White Tiger

The Seventh Madam put away the smile on her face, and looked a little serious with a blank expression: "No matter where you heard about the Soul Asking Stone, I advise you to give up this idea quickly, even the people in Furong City It cannot be approached casually."

The frustrated people were quickly taken down by the maids to rest and dine, treated with the etiquette of guests.

They were arranged together in a beautiful courtyard, with a rockery on one side and a blue pond on the other, which can also be called a mountain and a river. The only exit was guarded by two powerful guards.

Bai Jingyang looked around, except for the two entrances and exits, there was also a team of guards patrolling the surroundings from time to time, and the maids in charge of serving tea for them were not weak, with steady footsteps and long-lasting and steady breathing, it could be seen that they were masters .

These people are not so much serving as they are here to monitor their every move, as if they are afraid that they will violate the law and sneak out to find the Soul Stone.

It seems that this thing might be some kind of taboo in Furong City, otherwise the Seventh Madam would not be so cautious, Bai Jingyang thought.

Xuan Qing set up a sound-isolation barrier, and the group sat by the lake drinking tea and eating snacks, looking quite elegant, but the topic of conversation had nothing to do with the word elegant.

Haishen said with a cold face: "Is that woman trying to put us under house arrest? Why don't you just kill her and put an ice thorn on her neck to see if she will say anything?"

A drop of cold sweat fell on Fang Dong's forehead: "Please, please don't be impulsive. The Seventh Madam has not placed us under house arrest. We can still leave at any time."

Xuan Qing: "But she refused to tell us the location of the Soul Stone. With [-]% certainty, violent coercion is the easiest, fastest and most effective way."

Hail God nodded in agreement, although the two had disagreements, they unexpectedly agreed on this aspect.

Bai Jingyang twirled a thin wicker that he had just picked casually in his hand, and suddenly asked Gu Yi a question: "I asked Xiao Zuo Xiao You, and they, as residents of Furong City, don't even know the existence of the Soul Asking Stone. How do outsiders know?"

Xiao Zuo and Xiao You are just ordinary goblins born in Furong City, they can be called the bottom class, while the Seventh Madam is the upper class ruling class.

It can be inferred from this that the Soul-questioning stone is very mysterious, and its existence is only known to the top class in Furong City.

Then, how did Gu Yi, a foreign Taoist priest who had never been to Furong City, know about it?It also looks quite familiar with it.This made Bai Jingyang feel a little strange.

"Huh?" Gu Yi also showed a confused expression. He hadn't considered this question before, but now he heard Bai Jingyang mention it, and realized that there is indeed something weird in it.

"I found the record about the Soul Asking Stone in the Library Pavilion of Tiangang Daozong."

As for why there is Xin Mi of Furong City in the Library Pavilion of Tiangang Daozong, Gu Yi naturally has no idea. After all, the jade slips in it existed many years ago, and they are many times older than his age.

Even if you ask his master, you may not be able to figure out the origin.

At this time, Luo Yuan, who was standing in the corner with a weak sense of presence, suddenly brightened his eyes, as if he remembered something.

In fact, he has also seen the jade slip that Gu Yi mentioned, and the record of Furong City on it is like a travelogue. In order to cope with his father's discipline, he used this kind of jade slip when he pretended to be learning Taoism. As a cover-up, in fact, it's all about watching the story for entertainment.

Therefore, I didn't read much about exercises, but I finished most of this kind.

He naturally also remembered the records about Furong City, which were divided into two jade slips, one of which was the one that Gu Yi mentioned, but the other party didn't know that there was another one. It cannot be moved, and even the approximate location of the forbidden area is described.

Later, he lost the jade slip, so Gu Yi naturally never looked at it.

Luo Yuan, who got the important clue, made up his mind in an instant. He wanted to find a way to get rid of Gu and his party, slip into the forbidden area of ​​Furong City alone, and ask his father's soul about the whereabouts of Tiangang Mirror. Those things I did will definitely not be hidden from my own son.

With the inheritance and baptism of Tiangang Mirror, his aptitude will definitely increase rapidly, even surpassing his senior brother Gu Yi.

When the time comes, with great strength, even if he is not the real head of Tiangang Dao Sect, who would dare to say that he is a fake?

Luo Yuan raised the corners of his lips, and couldn't help but want to let out a smug laugh, but realized that he couldn't speak at all.

It turned out that in order to prevent him from talking indiscriminately, Gu Yi blocked his voice, and kept him in sight to watch carefully. He was very vigilant at the beginning, but after a long time, he seemed to be calm and obedient. The nerves will inevitably relax a little.

After dinner, Luo Yuan pretended to relieve himself, and Gu Yi, who let down his vigilance, asked a guard to take him there.

After entering the hut, Luo Yuan knocked the guard unconscious by surprise, took off his clothes and put them on himself.

He first pretended to be the guard of Qilangzi's mansion, and managed to get out of the mansion. Then, following the route in memory, avoiding the residents of Furong City who were coming and going, and following the secluded path, he groped for a long time and finally found the forbidden place. where.

The forbidden area of ​​Furong City is actually a lake surrounded by mountains. The surface of the lake is vast and peaceful without any ripples. It reflects the surrounding green mountains and trees, just like a mirror polished with high-quality gemstones. , shining brightly.

In the center of the lake there is a huge stone, the surface is as smooth as jade, it is the legendary soul-questioning stone.

"Found it!" Luo Yuan smiled excitedly, his eyes full of ambition.

He quickly took off the guard uniform on his body, jumped off the mirror lake, and swam to the soul-asking stone in the center of the lake.

But as soon as he got out of the water, Luo Yuan felt that this lake was unusual. The water in the lake was very heavy. Inhale the bottom of the lake.

Luo Yuan gritted his teeth and took out another talisman.

The talisman paper instantly turned into a small boat full of runes, gently floating on the lake surface, followed by Luo Yuan and slowly drifting towards the Soul-questioning Stone in the center of the lake.

Seeing that the distance is getting closer and closer, the huge Soul-questioning Stone seems to be close at hand, and the smile on Luo Yuan's face is getting bigger and bigger.

However, at this moment, a familiar voice sounded like thunder behind him: "So this is the Asking Soul Stone? Junior brother, thanks to you for leading us."

Luo Yuan turned his head abruptly, and saw Gu Yi and the others standing by the lake bank, looking at him calmly.

It turned out that their escape just now was intentional!

Luo Yuan came to his senses in an instant, turned around and paddled desperately with his hands instead of paddles, trying to get to the soul stone in the middle of the lake as soon as possible. However, after paddling for a long time, the rune boat was still moving slowly at its original speed, unmoved by external forces at all. .

Although this rune boat can ignore gravity, its speed does not listen to the user's control at all, it is very arbitrary and independent.

With Luo Yuan's demonstration, I have a certain understanding of Jinghu's gravity.

On the shore of the lake, Xuanqing also took out the magic weapon of flying boat that he made for Bai Jingyang. It was made by an ancient forging master.

After spending a long time in vain, Luo Yuan turned around and slumped on the rune boat. Watching Xuanqing put the small flying boat into the water, his face became a little distorted.

He said jealously: "Brother, you plot against me!"

Gu Yi: "How can this be called a calculation? Compared with what you did before, it can't even be called a counterattack, it's just a smooth ride."

Luo Yuan thumped the surface of the lake unwillingly: "How did you guess that I would know where the Soul Asking Stone is?"

Bai Jingyang showed an expression of seeing the mentally retarded: "Do you think we are blind? Just now in the Seventh Lady's courtyard, you wriggled around excitedly, like a caterpillar. Any fool knows that you have a problem, of course. Let it out, let's see what you want to do. It's a pleasant surprise to find the Soul-question Stone along the way."

Luo Yuan suddenly showed a broken and frustrated expression, and began to doubt his life and whether his IQ was really a problem.

In fact, his behavior just now was not as obvious as what Bai Jingyang said, it was just because a liar tiger was particularly sensitive to changes in human emotions.

"You guys are so brave, you dare to trespass into the forbidden area!"

With a shout, the third wave of people led by the Seventh Madam also appeared.

I saw that the headed Seventh Lady was wearing light armor, holding a flaming red-tasseled spear, her eyebrows were coldly facing each other, and she had a heroic demeanor. Behind her, a group of maids and servants lined up neatly were also fully armed, looking like they were going to kill them. Grab them all and deal with them seriously.

Seventh Madam's maid in red also stood up and scolded angrily: "It's thanks to Seventh Madam that she treated you so warmly just now, regardless of Deng Tuzi's excessive Meng Lang behavior, it turns out that they are all like dogs! I want to use this as an excuse to covet our Furong City treasure."

Fang Dong, who was put on the thief boat, suddenly became flustered, and explained: "I really regret it, it's not a lie to deceive Madam!"

But it was clear that no one on either side was listening to him at this moment.

Seventh Madam was about to make a move, and Bai Jingyang and the others also prepared their defenses. During the confrontation, neither side noticed that Luo Yuan actually took advantage of this opportunity to climb up the Soul-questioning Stone.

He held up a lightning-attracting talisman in his hand, with a mad face on his face: "Since you are all against me and don't make it easy for me, you might as well just die!"

"stop!!"

Unexpectedly, Luo Yuan, who failed in the premeditated plan, was so crazy that he wanted to destroy the Soul-questioning Stone to make everyone feel uncomfortable. The Seventh Madam and Gu Yi stopped it at the same time, but it was still too late.

A thunder as thick as a bucket was drawn down from the sky, hitting the soul stone right in the middle, and cracks appeared on the smooth stone surface instantly.

And Luo Yuan, who was in the thunderbolt, let out a burst of wild and joyful laughter.

However, before he could be happy for too long, suddenly the entire lake began to vibrate, the original calm was broken, and huge waves were set off, as if some terrifying colossus was about to wake up from the bottom of the lake.
