The cave is actually myself

Chapter 55 Escape
Ma Mingyuan walked quickly on the streets outside Cangxing City.

After coming out of the secret realm, he burned his essence and blood without hesitation and successfully escaped from the hands of many monks who coveted the sword-raising gourd.

After returning home, it took several days to replenish the lost essence and blood.

After his body recovered, he changed his appearance, disguised himself, and successfully sold the sword-raising gourd, in exchange for many spiritual elixirs, talismans, and a protective magical weapon.

He kept the few pieces of paper on the gourd for now. He planned to wait until the storm in the secret realm passed and his cultivation level improved before selling them.

With the help of the first- and second-grade elixirs obtained from the sword-raising gourd, his cultivation quickly reached the bottleneck of the mid-level Qi training, and he might break through to the high-level Qi training at any time.

With his thoughts flying, Ma Mingyuan arrived at the door of his house unknowingly.

He gathered his thoughts, opened the door carefully, and pulled out a thin hair from the door. There was no sign of breakage in the hair.

Immediately afterwards, he took out another long-nosed beast and sniffed around the room, but found no sign of anyone coming.

The door was not opened, and there was no scent left by the monks in the room. Ma Mingyuan felt relieved and continued to sprinkle a thin layer of silver sand on the ground according to his usual habits.

"Ok?"

He let out a soft sigh, stood on the spot and squatted down slowly. A few faint footprints appeared in the silver sand on the ground. Judging from the pattern of the footprints, they were not the shoes he usually wears.

"Someone has come! And the purpose is not to steal, but purely for me."

Ma Mingyuan felt alarmed.

"The hair on the door has not changed. This either means that the visitor used some means to enter through the roof or through the wall, or the hair that I arranged was found to be restored to its original state when I left. In addition, the residual smell in the room was deliberately eliminated. It is basically certain that it was Come prepared."

"It's just that he or they didn't expect that my defense has reached the point of anti-detection."

Ma Mingyuan's method of spreading silver sand on the ground was something he learned when he was in the ordinary world. It did not involve the level of spiritual energy and spiritual consciousness, and relied solely on a pair of naked eyes and his own daily experience.

He carefully observed the layout of the room and found no trace of items being turned over.

"It's not for money, it's mainly for people."

After Ma Mingyuan made a judgment in his mind, he immediately realized his current dangerous situation.

In the darkness, something seemed to be secretly spying on him.

He calmly observed the surroundings carefully, and after confirming that he was not under surveillance, he went to the next room.

He moved a wooden table, dug out ten stacked adobe bricks, and opened a wooden door that was closed downwards, revealing a dark passage inside.

He had already considered similar issues when choosing his residence in the outer city. There was an artificial creek ten feet away from his residence. In his spare time, Ma Mingyuan dug a secret passage between his residence and the creek.

The secret passage is hidden and very deep. Unless you are a high-level Qi practitioner who uses your spiritual sense to search bit by bit, it will be difficult to discover the existence of the secret passage.

"After preparing for so long, it finally came in handy. Unfortunately, this secret passage can only be used once, and it will have no effect afterwards."

Ma Mingyuan used the "Turtle Breathing Technique", held his breath and concentrated, and slid into the dark secret passage.

Not far from his residence, two mid-level Qi-training monks were constantly monitoring the movements in Ma Mingyuan's room.

On the other side, there were also two mid-level qi-training monks waiting in full force, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

The four mid-level qi-training monks were divided into two groups, and Ma Mingyuan was unable to fly.

"I really don't know what the higher-ups are thinking, but it's just to monitor a mid-level Qi training monk, and it is necessary to use four monks of the same level. Don't you think it's too wasteful?"

"I heard that this person has a lot to do with a secret realm. Keep your spirits up and don't be careless. If he escapes, we will have no good harvest."

The other person stared in the direction of Ma Mingyuan's residence and said lightly.

"This man was alert enough and actually set up a small trap at the door. Fortunately, senior brother, you were better. You found the hair and used a spiritual beast to eliminate the aura when you left."

"Ah."

"We will be liberated when Uncle Establishment Master comes over. If we have made great achievements this time, Uncle Master will definitely reward us well."

"Let me ask, do you think that the monk named Ma Mingyuan is too quiet?"

***
In a simple room at the edge of the outer city, Ma Mingyuan sat cross-legged on the ground, thinking carefully about whether he had exposed any flaws.

Because this room was on the edge of the outer city, the rental price was much cheaper than the previous one. He rented it for emergencies.

He basically walks alone, only he knows the location of this safe house, and he rarely comes here.

At this moment, he was more than two inches taller than before, and his appearance and temperament had also changed a lot. His face gave people a feeling of a vulture.

This is a disguise technique that he learned in his ordinary life. He uses his internal energy to change his bones and muscles, and the technique of makeup to change his facial features and temperament. His whole person has undergone a completely different transformation.

On the physical level, I rely on this method of disguise, and in terms of spiritual power and breath, I have the "Turtle Breathing Technique" taught by the paper man before, which can hide the breath very well.

He hid in this room for three days, and when he saw no one was chasing him, he was completely relieved.

"Who is targeting me?"

Ma Mingyuan thought secretly in his heart.

"Old enmity? It's unlikely. I haven't offended many people. They either don't know my true identity or they were killed by me."

"New grudge? If it is a new grudge, why was it formed?"

"The biggest possibility is that in the secret realm I entered the last two times, someone may be coveting the third-grade sword-raising gourd in my hand. After all, this elixir is too valuable for the Qi training period.

It may also be related to the last time I sold the secret realm paper. There were too few monks who knew the secret realm before, and the value of the secret realm was not high, so not many people paid attention to me.

But it's different now. A secret realm that can produce a third-grade sword-raising gourd is extremely valuable. The value of the mysterious paper man and pieces of paper has also increased accordingly.

If you want to obtain information about the secret realm and the paper figures, in the eyes of interested people, I may be the breakthrough point. "

Ma Mingyuan sighed in his heart. It seemed that he had to handle the pieces of paper in his hand carefully. If he didn't pay attention and didn't handle them well, it might bring disaster to him.

But he has no regrets in his heart. After all, he has obtained too many things from the secret realm and the paper man.

Whether it is the "Turtle Breathing Technique" used when escaping, or the elixir that will assist him in his cultivation and is about to break through to the advanced level of Qi training, or the talismans and magic weapons, etc., these are all things that he usually can't reach as a casual cultivator.

"Senior paper figurine has shown me great kindness, so I must do well what it enjoins, and it must be better than what it asks.

The pieces of paper must be dealt with properly, but before that, the most important thing is to improve the cultivation level to a high level of Qi training.

In Cangxing City, high-level Qi cultivation can be regarded as the upper-middle-level strength in the city. It can be said that they have the power to protect themselves in the city. "

Ma Mingyuan understood in his heart, took out a green and black elixir and drank it.
