Start by summoning the succubus

"That's it now, what's next?"

Qi Lin looked around, looking at Li Chengwen and Shangguan Xue who had fallen to the ground unconscious, and asked Yun Muzhi.

"Let's get out of here first."

With a wave of his hand, Yun Muzhi dispersed the shielding spirit shield covering Shangguan Xue, and then condensed two groups of breeze, which swept up Li Chengwen and Shangguan Xue, letting the two comatose people float behind him.

Then, Yun Muzhi turned around and returned along the way he came.

Qi Lin, Irena, and Catherine followed closely behind.

They quickly returned to the place where they fought Chen Hui.

however,

After returning here, Yun Muzhi felt a chill in his heart.

"Where's the body?!"

Yun Muzhi raised his head and looked at the empty rock wall, his expression changed drastically, "Isn't Chen Hui's body nailed to the top of this rock wall by my gold steel sword? Where did the body go?!"

"Someone took away Chen Hui's body..."

Qi Lin looked at the bare rock wall with neither corpse nor sword, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Chen Hui is dead, there is no doubt about it. When you penetrated her with your sword earlier, I clearly felt that her soul was also dead. It was directly shattered by that sword of yours. My perception of souls is very keen and I can never go wrong."

"Who will it be?"

Yun Muzhi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Shi has also been killed by me. Does Chen Hui have other accomplices in Qingshui Mountain?!"

"Your gold steel sword is also missing." Catherine looked at Yun Muzhi, "That sword is your sword. Do you have a way to locate it? Your sword was inserted into Chen Hui's body before, so he took it away The person who found Chen Hui’s body is very likely to have your sword with him.”

"Of course." Yun Muzhi nodded, "My swords are all certified with blood. Even if they are far away from the ends of the world, I can still sense its location... But the point is not this. The point is, if that sword is taken away If the person who took Chen Hui's body was really Chen Hui's accomplice, and if he deliberately used this to set up an ambush, then it would probably be very dangerous for us to rush over hastily."

"See where it is first, and then make plans." Qi Lin said.

"alright."

Yun Muzhi immediately cast a spell, and the index finger and middle finger of his right hand came together, glowing with a golden aura.

He put his fingers between his eyebrows and closed his eyes.

But the next moment, Yun Muzhi opened his eyes in surprise, "It's so close... I sensed that my gold steel sword was under our feet, about two floors away. In other words, someone took my sword." The sword was brought further down the cave, and stopped, and did not continue to move."

"Lead the way, let's go check out the situation." Qi Lin said to Yun Muzhi.

"This way."

Yun Muzhi turned around and walked towards a fork in a cave not far away, "I can sense the movement trajectory of my gold steel sword, so there is no need to forcibly penetrate a road to the underground. This will scare the grass and scare the snake. Let's First, follow the movement path of the gold steel sword and follow it all the way."

"Ah."

Qi Lin nodded lightly, led Irena and Catherine, and followed Yun Muzhi's footsteps as they continued deep into the cave.

The topography of this cave is intricate.

Qi Lin and the others followed Yun Muzhi, twisting and turning in the cave for more than ten times, before officially arriving at the lower level of the cave.

As they continued deeper underground, they also discovered that the "decoration" nearby was obviously much more refined.

The rock wall at the lower level of the cave is smoother and has obviously been artificially repaired. Some places are even paved with blue and white bricks, which makes it more aesthetic. There are even some exquisite bronze candlesticks on the walls, and the atmosphere of life is far better than before. The upper levels of the cave are thicker.

"This area should be close to Chen Hui's residence in the cave."

Yun Muzhi glanced at the candlestick on the rock wall and whispered to Qi Lin and the others behind him.

"So where is your gold steel sword?" Qi Lin asked doubtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, we seem to have been around these rock pillars several times, right?"

"Yes, I'm looking for the door."

Yun Muzhi looked around and explained: "My gold steel sword should be nearby, but the perception has become blurred, which means that there is an illusion nearby that affects my perception. It also means that the scene we are seeing now, This shouldn't be a real scene... I need to find the 'door' of illusion here and open it."

"Then Taoist Master Yun, keep working hard."

Qi Lin said no more.

"Give me some more time."

Yun Muzhi continued to check and search nearby.

The three of them, Qi Lin, waited quietly.

One minute……

Two minutes...

three minutes……

"Huh?" Suddenly, Yun Muzhi stopped and looked at the rock wall beside him.

To be precise, he was looking at the bronze candlestick inserted into the rock wall.

"boom!"

Yun Muzhi raised his hand and punched, directly blowing the bronze candlestick into a black mist!

"Wow—"

As the candlestick turned into black mist, the surrounding scene slowly distorted and changed.

In the blink of an eye, the area where Yun Muzhi and Qi Lin were located changed from a hole in the rock wall to an exquisite and spacious red brick room - it turned out that they had been staying in the room all along, but they were just affected by the illusion. , I have never been able to see the true face of this place.

"Eh?!"

Irena suddenly felt that the soles of her feet were a little soft. When she looked down, she found that she was actually stepping on a large, soft bed.

The mattress is soft, and there is a bright red brocade quilt folded at the end of the bed. Incense is lit on the bedside table, and wisps of white mist are lingering, smelling a bit of the sour and sweet scent of lemon.

Surrounded by various decorations.

Qi Lin looked around and saw at a glance the dining table, chairs, kitchen, pots and pans...etc., all kinds of furniture.

The point is, at this time, there was a tall, fat man wearing a brown robe standing in the kitchen, with his back to Qi Lin and others, as if he was cooking, and he seemed not to notice the arrival of Qi Lin and others.

"Gulu, Gulu."

The sound of bubbles came from the large pot in the kitchen. It was very "sticky" and sounded a bit like the bubbles produced by cooking porridge.

The big man in brown robe was facing Qi Lin and others with his back to Qi Lin and others. He was holding a large wooden spoon in both hands and constantly stirring the pot. There was a pile of firewood under the pot and the fire was burning brightly.

"Ok?"

Qi Lin suddenly felt that something was wrong. When he took a closer look, he realized that the guy who was cooking was not a big man in a brown robe. He was clearly a big brown bear standing upright!

"Hey, monster!"

Yun Muzhi suddenly shouted towards the big brown bear.

"Well?!"

As soon as he said this, the big brown bear seemed startled, and the spoon in his hand almost fell out of the pot.

It quickly turned around and looked here, put up the spoon in its hand, and looked at Qi Lin and the others with a wary expression on its face.

Apart from its human eyes, this big bear shows no tendency to turn into a human being.

"The demonic energy is weak, and he is the most basic level of adult demon."

Yun Muzhi glanced at the big bear and said to Qi Lin beside him, "I guess it has not even reached the second level and is not a threat. Moreover, I found that it does not have any blood smell on it. It is a good person who has never taken blood food to practice. A monster, at least for now."

"What a monster?"

Irena blinked her big pink eyes and chuckled: "Taoist Master Yun, I thought you slaying demons didn't care about good or bad."

"I still take care of it sometimes."

Yun Muzhi smiled helplessly and said: "After all, not all monsters can harm people. In fact, most of the monsters that have just absorbed the moonlight and become spirits basically have no ill intentions towards humans. However, as their spiritual intelligence gradually opens up, their desires It will also increase accordingly, and their instinct will tell them that devouring humans can speed up their cultivation.

Most monsters don't resist their instincts, so to humans, they become so-called monsters.

But there are always exceptions in the world.

A small number of monsters are able to restrain their desires and do good.

My master once told me that he believes that this kind of monster race is truly "enlightened", because learning to control one's own desires and letting oneself be the master of one's own body, rather than letting desires control one's body, is truly enlightened. Intelligent creatures... Although, in my career of exterminating monsters, this kind of monster is only one in a million. "

"Well?"

The big brown bear in the kitchen looked at Yun Muzhi. After hearing what he said, he blinked first, then scratched his head, turned and walked towards the other side.

I saw it enter a corner of the cave and disappear.

But not long after, the big brown bear turned back with a large wooden board in his hand.

Qi Lin saw a white-gold long sword on the wooden board. The blade was clean, not to mention the blood stains from the previous killing of Chen Hui. Even the dust was not visible. It had obviously been wiped carefully.

"Taoist Master Yun, is that your gold steel sword?"

Qi Lin glanced at Yun Muzhi beside him.

"Yes." Yun Muzhi nodded, "And it was wiped clean."
