I'm the villain in the book

Page 537

So is it out to hunt?

Or did you leave the mountain temple for some other reason?

Yang Liushi couldn't guess, but she knew that if this was the case, the difficulty of finding the little fox would undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack.

But if you just leave like this, I'm afraid there will be even more chances...

"General Lu, wait another night."

After thinking for a while, Yang Liushi whispered, "It's not safe to drive in the middle of the night, why don't we wait in the temple for another night."

"If the fox demon doesn't show up tomorrow morning, we'll go back to Liangzhou City."

"What do you think?"

"This......"

Lu Huang hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly: "In that case, then follow what Madam said."

"it is good."

Looking at Lu Huang who looked a little tired, Yang Liushi also felt sleepy for a while.

The two of them haven't rested much since they entered the mountain, and they have been concentrating on finding the little fox for the past two days, for fear of missing any movement.

If ordinary people were to do this, they would have already collapsed from exhaustion. Even if a cultivator's body functions are far superior to ordinary people, it doesn't mean that he is a god who doesn't need to eat, drink and sleep, so it is inevitable that he will be exhausted right now.

"General Lu, take a break."

After thinking for a while, Yang Liushi said softly to Lu Huang: "I will keep an eye on the situation in the temple, and I will wake you up if something happens."

"Ma'am, don't worry, everything will be fine!"

How could Lu Huang have the nerve to let Yang Liushi stare at him, while he went to sleep soundly.

Not to mention that the latter is Wei Changtian's woman, the difference in realm between the two alone does not allow him to rest before Yang Liushi.

It was about the dignity of a third-rank master and a man, even though Lu Huangdang rejected Yang Liushi's suggestion, he deliberately put on a relaxed look.

Seeing this, Yang Liushi didn't try to persuade her anymore, she just turned her head and continued to stare at the situation in the main hall.

Silence returned to the side room until half an hour later...

"hu~hu~hu~"

Rhythmic snoring came one after another, if the whole side room was not covered by Yang Liushi's illusion, the snoring might be heard in the whole mountain temple.

No matter how stubborn Lu Huang was, his physical fatigue would not be relieved by it.

So just now he just wanted to close his eyes and adjust a few breaths, but in the end he just fell asleep.

"..."

Glancing at Lu Huang lying on the chair swaying here and there, Yang Liushi shook her head helplessly, but didn't wake him up.

Reasonably speaking, her cultivation is not as good as Lu Huang's, and she still needs to maintain the illusion, so she should be more tired and sleepy than the latter now.

But in order to find the little fox and ask about the situation of the solar eclipse pearl, Yang Liushi has been forcing herself not to be distracted for a second... even though she probably won't find anything.

What if the little fox appeared when he was distracted?

You must know that the little fox may have been to a place where the treasure is hidden, Yang Liushi does not want Wei Changtian to miss such a great opportunity because of her negligence.

The young master treats me so well, so I have to think about the young master even more.

What's more, finding the little fox is also good for me...

Thinking of this, Yang Liushi bit the tip of her tongue lightly, the tingling pain like an electric shock immediately made her a bit more energetic.

And at this moment, I don't know if her persistence finally moved the heavens, a white light suddenly flashed in the dark main hall opposite.

"Ok?"

Yang Liushi's eyes widened suddenly, and she stood up instantly.

She knew that she was not mistaken, there was indeed a slender white light flashing into the soles of the Snow God Statue just now!

It's just that the white is not the pure white of monster fur, but a kind of innocence like moonlight.

So it's not a little fox.

What exactly is that?

Regardless of the considerations, it is necessary to go to the Snow God Statue to investigate the situation.

but......

Looking at Lu Huang who was still sleeping soundly not far away, Yang Liushi slowly walked towards the darkness.

......

......

According to the old-fashioned plots in previous film and television works, Yang Liushi would definitely leave Lu Huang alone to investigate the situation at this time, and then encounter a crisis and fall into danger as it should.

But the reality is not the case.

After deciding to find out, Yang Liushi immediately woke up Lu Huang and told him what happened just now.

After almost a stick of incense, the two left the side room very cautiously and walked into the main hall of the mountain temple.

"call!"

The flames suddenly appeared, faintly illuminating the surroundings.

Lu Huang casually dismantled a wooden table, urged his internal energy to ignite two table legs to serve as torches, and then held the torches with Yang Liushi and began to carefully explore the location where the white light disappeared just now.

In fact, they have checked this Snow God statue several times, but they didn't find anything wrong.

However, when the scope of suspicion was further narrowed and the two inspected more carefully, they finally found the anomaly.

"General Lu, look here."

Pointing to a trace at the foot of the statue, Yang Liushi frowned slightly.

Lu Huang immediately leaned over, glanced at it and said thoughtfully:

"It's a scratch."

"Scratches? Does that mean that something has moved on the statue's pedestal?"

"Well, and it's heavy."

Lu Huang squinted his eyes and looked up at the snow god statue several feet high.

"Ma'am, it will be seen at the end of the day, it is the one that is not allowed to move."

"..."

Obviously, what Lu Huang was referring to was not that the statue came alive and moved by itself.

Rather, the idol itself is a huge "door", and there should be something hidden under it.

If you analyze it in this way, there must be some mechanism that can make the statue move.

But where is this institution?What must be done to move the idol?

"Ma'am, please step back a little bit."

After another investigation to no avail, Lu Huang suddenly drew his knife out of its sheath with a "cang clang".

Yang Liushi knew what he was going to do, but she didn't dissuade him, but slowly retreated to the gate of the palace.

Then, she saw the long knife in Lu Huang's hand suddenly sparked a cyan light, and immediately slashed at the snow god statue with a kind expression without hesitation.

"boom!!!"

"Crash!!!"

How powerful is the full-strength strike of a third-rank master, how could this tall but hollow statue be able to withstand it, and it was instantly shattered into countless fragments amidst loud noises.

As a Taoist practitioner, he destroyed a Taoist statue so casually. From this point of view, Lu Huang is also a cruel person.

But at this time, Yang Liushi didn't have time to think about these things. Instead, she immediately came to the stage and looked down amidst the billowing dust.

The statue of the god has been destroyed, and most of the white stone platform has disappeared.

And among the broken stones and tiles on the ground, there really is a dark hole.

Chapter 617 Mysterious Cave

A gust of cold wind swayed into the mountain temple from the vast snow-capped mountains in the distance, blowing away the smoke and dust splashed by the collapsed statue.

Looking at the hole in front of them, Yang Liushi and Lu Huang looked at each other, their expressions gradually becoming serious.

Obviously, there are only two possible functions for this opening.

Either a secret passage leading to somewhere, or the entrance to a secret room.

You have to go in to know what kind of situation it is, and as for whether you should go in now...

"General Lu, did Captain Huang say that this was once the sect of a certain sect?"

Not in a hurry to make a decision, Yang Liushi raised her head and asked, "Then a few wealthy families in Liangzhou City paid for this place to be converted into a mountain temple?"

"Yes, Captain Huang did say so."

Lu Huang nodded, as if he understood something: "Ma'am, what do you mean is that these wealthy households secretly set up this institution?"

"Correct."

Yang Liushi nodded slightly: "Since it is a temple that will be built later, it is impossible for this cave to not have been discovered if it had already existed, not to mention that the statue of the god was cast on the entrance of the cave."

"Goodbye, ma'am."

Lu Huang flattered his ass lightly, and relaxed his mood: "In this way, there must not be any great danger in this hole."

"Maybe it's just a place where the rich families stole their property and treasures."

"Well, logically speaking, it should be so."

Yang Liushi looked at the entrance of the cave again, except for a few stone steps leading to the depths, she couldn't see much more.

There is actually nothing wrong with the analysis of the two. There is a high probability that this place is the secret warehouse used by the wealthy households in Liangzhou City to store their belongings.

Even if it has other uses, but if you think about it, there won't be any life-threatening mechanism set up in it.

Or in other words, no matter how powerful the institutions set up by these ordinary big households are, it is impossible to hurt Lu Huang of the third rank.

"General Lu, I want to go in and have a look..."

After much thought, Yang Liushi finally made a decision.

She doesn't care about ordinary belongings, but she is afraid that the little fox will hide in them.

If he didn't go in now, but waited to find helpers from Liangzhou City before entering, then the little fox would have disappeared long ago.

Take a step back, even if the little fox is not inside, the solar eclipse beads may come from this.

All in all, there's no harm in going in and investigating right away.

The only risk is that white light just now.

If it is really the money bank of ordinary wealthy households, then why is there such a phenomenon as white light?

Yang Liushi couldn't figure it out, but after comprehensive consideration, she chose to enter the cave to find out.

But Lu Huang didn't think so much at all, and nodded immediately after hearing her words.

"Okay, let's go in and check first. If there is nothing wrong with the cave, madam can enter it again."

"Well, the general must be careful."

"I will understand at the end."

"..."

Soon, Lu Huang walked into the cave with a torch in one hand and a knife in the other.

Yang Liushi stood outside the cave and waited, while listening carefully to the movement inside the cave.

The sound of steady footsteps became smaller and smaller, and after a dozen or so breaths, they could no longer be heard.

But other than that, there were no other voices, indicating that Lu Huang should not have encountered any emergencies.

Bending down and squatting by the entrance of the cave, Yang Liushi had no intention of going in at all, but planned to wait for Lu Huang to come back safely before making any plans.
