Chapter 49
Because the giant hand chased Chen Xiu, the others escaped easily.
With a bang, Chen Xiu ran away in a flash.
Chen Xiu ran around in the underground cave that was like a maze for a while, and could not feel the giant hand behind him, so he breathed a sigh of relief for a while.
That giant hand is so terrible that it can't be beaten to death, and it will be sucked into a skeleton after touching it.
Fortunately, the giant hand seems to have no intelligence and only acts based on an instinct, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of it.
Chen Xiu looked around and saw that this was a purely natural cave. There was a lot of moss growing on the ground, and the sound of water flowing faintly came from the ground.
There are no traces of artificiality here. It seems that the underground is an extremely huge natural cave, and only a small part of it has been renovated by the Zhao family.
I wonder where Luo Changsheng is? Chen Xiushi was worried and did not feel anyone nearby.
Chen Xiu also felt thirsty and looked for the sound of water.
The moss on the ground just guided the path, followed the moss and came to a natural stone wall.
The sound of water was just behind the stone wall. Chen Xiu was so thirsty that he slapped out with a reckless palm.
After breaking through the stone wall, there was a clear pool of spring water in front of me, constantly gushing out from the small pond made of jade.
The spring water faintly released an indescribable fragrance. The fragrance entered the heart from the nose. After smelling it, it was relaxed and felt as if it was ascended to the immortal on the spot.
This is by no means an ordinary spring water.
Chen Xiu suddenly thought that there was a spiritual spring in Zhaojiabao, which should be this spring.
It is said that the herbs watered by Lingquan will become stronger and even contain spiritual energy. They can improve the quality of the pills when used to refine elixirs.
When a person drinks Lingquan, he has a bright ear and a bright eye, and is healthy and long-lived, which is also of great benefit to his practice.
Chen Xiu naturally had no reason to be polite, so he scooped a few sips with his hands.
The entrance is sweet and clear, and the taste is very good.
Chen Xiu could even feel a trace of spiritual energy contained in the water, but this spiritual energy was very small and scattered, and it was difficult for practitioners to use it. Unless it had to persist in drinking it for years, it would be effective.
No wonder the Zhao family did not directly use Lingquan, but instead used indirectly to gain benefits.
Chen Xiu suddenly thought that the bamboo slips of "True Qi nourishes the Xuan Fei" absorb energy from nearby environments. I wonder if they can absorb energy from this spiritual spring.
So, Chen Xiu took out the bamboo slips of "True Qi nourishes the mysterious fetus".
As he played with his hands, his body seemed to have turned into a black hole, and various energy and spiritual energy around him poured into his body. Within ten meters, it seemed to be suppressed by an invisible aura, without even a trace of wind.
This time, the bamboo slips felt quite different, and it seemed that the body became lighter and fluttered.
Chen Xiu felt comfortable and almost forgot about time.
Oops!
When Chen Xiu woke up, he realized something was wrong and showed an expression of causing trouble.
I saw that the pool that was originally full of storage was completely exhausted.
Chen Xiu inertially curled the bamboo slips again, but he couldn't move. The spiritual spring had been completely sucked by the bamboo slips.
There is really nothing left.
Chen Xiu stretched out his hands, and there was no pore at all when the palm of his hand was on his back. He looked as delicate as a baby. Looking closely, he could even see the illusion of bones and blood inside.
I can’t see my face, but I guess the facial skin has the same effect.
Chen Xiu closed his eyes slightly, and even felt a little mysterious, as if he was integrated with the heaven and earth, and he was united by nature and man. He took a breath and became full.
Chen Xiu thought of the "innate body" mentioned by his master. Legend has it that this physique can absorb the endless vitality of heaven and earth with its physical body. It eats qi like a god, and does not require food and drink, so there is no filth in the body and it is extremely clean.
This feeling is somewhat similar to the "Innate Body", but it is still far away.
This is all the result of sucking away the spiritual spring. What if I suck one hundred and one thousand spiritual springs?
On the front of the Lingquan Pond is a long ladder leading upwards.
Chen Xiu climbed up the steps and came to a square hall more than twenty feet away. There were several small stone rooms next to the hall, but there was no one inside.
This should be the place where the Zhao family rests and collects spiritual springs. Perhaps because of the giant hand, people were scared away.
In addition to the steps that lead up, there are also two semicircular side doors on the left and right. I don’t know where they lead.
Chen Xiu turned his mind and noticed a trace of breath. He walked towards the door on the left without hesitation.
When you go out, there is a narrow corridor, but it is a maze-like building with high walls. Every ten steps you walk is an intersection.
What does it mean?
Who built a big maze underground? Why? It's not like playing a maze game, right?
Chen Xiu observed the environment and found that every distance, there was a circular depression on the high wall, just like a bird's nest, and he didn't know what it was for.
Chen Xiu was even more surprised. An underground maze was weird enough. What do these seemingly regular circular depressions do?
Chen Xiu walked around a bend and ran into someone head-on.
The man was so scared that he cried softly when he saw Chen Xiu.
Chen Xiu was not surprised, and had discovered her with his heart.
It's not someone else, it's the high messenger of the Fengyi Sect.
She seemed to be lost, and stood in the middle of the intersection with a purple sword in a daze.
"Where are the others?" Gao Zhizhe said coldly.
"have no idea."
"How did you find this place?"
"I followed you when I smelled you." Chen Xiu joked.
"Smell? Are you a dog's nose?" The messenger Gao believed it.
"Do you know where this place is?"
The Gao Envoy looked at the tall and ancient stone pillars on both sides, and was obviously quite curious.
"I don't know." Chen Xiu shook his head.
The two were chatting in a mess, and the messenger Gao suddenly purred a gurgling sound in his stomach.
The high messenger's head hangs. Although he can't see his face through the burqa, he can clearly feel her embarrassment.
"Do you have any food?" Chen Xiudao.
"No." The messenger of the high shook his head.
"I still have half a steamed bun here, so I'll give it to you."
As soon as Chen Xiu took out the small piece of steamed bun, he found something was wrong.
This steamed bun was taken in the Yunju Temple canteen. After many days of running around the sun, his sweat, secretions and dust on his body were stained with the steamed bun.
The whole steamed bun smelled like rotten pickles or smelly socks sealed in a bucket for seven days.
When Chen Xiu heard this, he felt that his internal organs were in a state of turmoil and almost vomited it out on the spot.
How can such steamed buns be eaten by people?
Chen Xiu withdrew his hand and said a little ashamed: "Sorry, the steamed buns will smell bad after being left for a long time."
"It's okay, give it to me." said Gao's messenger.
"Do you really want to eat?" Chen Xiu said in surprise.
"Do you want to eat this steamed bun?"
"No, I ate at the banquet before and am not hungry." Chen Xiudao.
"I need to eat to have the energy to deal with monsters." The messenger Gao said calmly.
Chen Xiu handed the steamed buns.
The messenger Gao grabbed the steamed bun, gritted his teeth and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he made a dry retching sound and almost vomited.
"Are you okay?" Chen Xiuluo said worriedly. It was a bit embarrassing to ask a woman to eat this kind of thing.
"I...I..." The Gao Envoy couldn't even speak.
"It's okay, don't eat it if you can't eat it." Chen Xiu comforted.
"I'm still a little hungry, do you still have it?" The messenger Gao finally finished speaking.
Damn it.
Chen Xiu stood there in a daze.
