Chapter 36: Treasure in the Secret Chamber Seven days later. Recently, a handsome young Taoist priest appeared in Qingzhou City, but he seemed to be a little bit mentally unstable and always liked to talk to himself. When he went to a restaurant to eat, he asked the waiter to put two bowls of rice on the table, but he didn't eat one of them. Sometimes when the sun was strong, he would hold up an oil-paper umbrella and chat and laugh with the air while walking. I wonder how many girls secretly felt sorry for it. What a nice appearance, what a pity. Someone found out that the Taoist priest's name was Zhang Jiuyang and he seemed to be quite wealthy. He bought Mr. Zhou's haunted house, but things started to become abnormal not long after he moved in. It can be seen that the house is indeed very dangerous. Zhang Jiuyang didn't care about these criticisms and speculations. These days, he combined work and rest and took Ali to have a good tour of Qingzhou City. Watch acrobatics, listen to storytelling, eat delicious food, enjoy the lantern festival... Zhang Jiuyang was fine, as he had lived in a big city in his previous life. But Ali grew up in Yunhe County, so it was naturally very novel for her to see such a prosperous scene.
Zhang Jiuyang originally wanted to buy her a flower headdress, but who knew that the little girl didn't like red clothes but preferred weapons, and she pestered him to buy two kitchen knives. Preferably pink. Zhang Jiuyang finally compromised, and under the blacksmith's strange gaze, he spent a large sum of money to custom-make two small pink kitchen knives. Although the scene was so awkward that her toes touched the ground, Zhang Jiuyang smiled knowingly when he saw Ah Li holding her small kitchen knife and couldn't let it go. "Brother Nine, Brother Nine, I have created a new sword technique, come and take a look!" "Hey ha! The emperor takes turns, this year it's Ali's turn!" "Old Tathagata, I'm going to pee on your hand!" "Nineth Brother, Ninth Brother, if such a lovely knife were to chop a demon, it wouldn't hurt, right..." At night, in his own courtyard, Zhang Jiuyang looked at the two pink kitchen knives circling in the air, his face full of black lines. He didn't know if the knife would hurt, but the demon would definitely feel terribly painful. But you know what, although Ali doesn't know any sword skills, her soul is light and agile, as elusive as lightning, and her half-baked sword skills are quite scary. At least when the knife just passed by Zhang Jiuyang's eyes, he was scared and broke out in a cold sweat. "Why is your knife technique different every time?" Ah Li blinked and said, "Brother Jiu, you don't understand this. If I don't even know what the next blow will be, then the enemy will definitely be overjoyed!" "Overjoyed?" "The heart is blooming, the blood is flowing~" Zhang Jiuyang was silent for a long time. Ah Li's idioms...how come they are getting more and more wild? After practicing the knife skills several times with great satisfaction, which she herself could not even remember, Ali opened her mouth and performed the act of swallowing the knife into her stomach. Zhang Jiuyang: (ΩДΩ) She patted her belly and happily skipped to the swing. Her snow-white skirt fluttered, her two braids swung, and she hummed a little tune.
This innocent and lovely appearance is so deceptive. Zhang Jiuyang could even imagine the scene where the little girl would make a sound and spit out two pink kitchen knives from her mouth to kill the monsters before a fight... Shaking his head, he sighed. Forget it, he is tired, let this sapling grow however it wants. Taking out the last Purple Ganoderma Jade Ginseng Pill, Zhang Jiuyang showed a trace of uneasiness in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he swallowed it. These days he often took medicine and practiced cultivation, and his Taoism continued to improve. However, due to the lack of cultivation techniques for the next level, he was unable to break through the 100-day barrier of the second level. When the effect of the medicine wore off, he saw the kidney god Xuanming again. But no matter how he shouted, the black turtle hiding under the deep sea ignored him. Although I have a glimpse of its mystery, I cannot get in. After a long time, Zhang Jiuyang opened his eyes and showed a trace of helplessness. I don't know when the visualization diagram will absorb enough incense to be passed down again, and the Jade Ding Xuan Gong only has the first picture. Is there really no way? Zhang Jiuyang shook his head. Seeing that Ah Li was inhaling the moonlight, he did not disturb her. He picked up his sword and went back to his room to sleep. Although he had started practicing, he still needed sleep, not too much, two hours was enough. It was said that Wang Chongyang, one of the five northern ancestors of Quanzhen Taoism, practiced in the Tomb of the Living Dead at the foot of Mount Zhongnan and created a method to kill the sleep demon, so he no longer needed to sleep. Zhang Jiuyang was far from reaching this realm. Although he was still unwilling to fail in his attempt to reach the second realm, he could only go to bed obediently. When it comes to spiritual practice, one cannot be impatient. Perhaps when the time is right, everything will come to fruition naturally. Soon he cleared his mind of all distractions, took long, slow breaths, and fell into a deep sleep. …… In the darkness of the night, Ali inhaled the moonlight and felt a little full. Her soul and body were warm, so she instinctively stopped practicing. Brother Jiu was already asleep in the room. She thought about it and did not return to the Yin puppet. Instead, she took out her two pink kitchen knives and continued to practice the knife skills. After practicing for an unknown amount of time, she found herself flying to the backyard. No one had lived there for a long time, so it looked rather desolate. goooo~ Low bird calls were heard in the dark night. The backyard was full of lush vegetation and jagged rocks, and their reflections in the moonlight looked like ferocious ghosts. Ali felt uneasy. But the next moment she thought that she was the ghost. So she was no longer afraid and walked around the backyard, wondering whether to plant cucumbers or watermelons... Just then, she passed by the room in the backyard, her nose twitched, and her eyes lit up slightly. There seemed to be some smell inside that attracted her. "what!"
She broke the door lock with a knife and entered the room. There were all kinds of old furniture in it, and there were cobwebs and dust everywhere. It seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time. Ali continued to smell it, and finally stopped on a tile. There was no need to open it, her soul sank directly into the ground and gradually disappeared. After a moment, Ah Li flew out from underground again, her eyes sparkling and she seemed a little excited, and flew towards the room where Zhang Jiuyang was. …… "What? You mean... you found the treasure?" Zhang Jiuyang, who was awakened from his sleep, yawned and asked with some confusion. Ali nodded quickly, then grabbed his hand and ran towards the room in the backyard. After a while, Zhang Jiuyang opened the floor tile and found that it was empty underneath. There was a long passage with a cold wind blowing through it, and no one knew where it led to. Zhang Jiuyang was wearing a white nightgown, holding a ghost-slaying sword, with his long hair loose, and his originally lazy eyes began to become solemn. This secret passage was probably not made by Mr. Zhou, after all, he was possessed by evil spirits not long after he moved in. The person who built this secret passage was undoubtedly Lu Yaoxing! He cheered himself up and walked towards the bottom of the secret passage. Finally, he came to a secret room. There were seven locks hanging on the door, all forged with fine iron. There was a clanging sound of sword. Zhang Jiuyang had already drawn out the Demon-Slaying Sword, and with a flash of red light, all seven iron chains were cut in half and fell to the ground. There was almost no obstruction in the middle, as if it was not fine iron, but just tofu. Clang! Sheath the sword. Zhang Jiuyang pushed the door open and found that the secret room was not very big. It could only accommodate about three or four people. There were two iron boxes inside. "Brother Jiu, there must be treasures in here!" Ali was very excited. She didn't care what the treasure was, but the process of finding the treasure was very exciting. Without waiting for Zhang Jiuyang to draw his sword, she picked up her knife and cut off the lock on the first iron box. After opening it, she found a booklet and handed it to Zhang Jiuyang as if presenting a treasure. Zhang Jiuyang took the booklet and opened the first page. A line of handwriting appeared before his eyes. "My name is Lu Yaoxing. When you see this sentence, I should be dead." …… (End of this chapter)
