Fairy cage

You have to earn your own status when you are out there.

Although Yu Lie is a peasant and a handyman, he doesn't want to start as a handyman in Wuzangmiao.

Especially according to what he heard in the team a few days ago.

As soon as the outer disciples enter the mountain gate, they can get the secret medicine provided by Wuzangmiao, which allows them to practice successfully. And the handymen who want the secret medicine can only accumulate merits and virtues, and it will take at least three years to accumulate a full portion, and then embark on the path of practice.

If Yu Lie replaces the third young master in front of him, he can enjoy the secret medicine as soon as he enters the door, and get rid of the handyman body, which can be said to be a lot of benefits, and he will turn over in one day.

As for whether he will be discovered by Wuzangmiao after replacing him...

If he is discovered, he will be discovered. Not to mention that Wuzangmiao is not a good place in my impression, the manor where I am is actually just one of the thousands of manors under Wuzangmiao, which is not very eye-catching.

By then, Yu Lie had already taken the secret medicine and worshipped the mountain gate. Except for Zhuangzi's people who would come to trouble him, Wuzangmiao would never stand up for an outsider.

The only uncertainty in this matter was whether Yu Lie could hide the mountain worship.

The token of worship was not a problem. Yu Lie was the other party's book boy. He knew everything about the documents in the hands of the playboy and his family relatives.

The key point was that the playboy had a fifth-class true spiritual root, while Yu Lie was only a seventh-class pseudo spiritual root. People who have not yet practiced and whose spiritual roots are not in the middle stream are definitely not qualified to formally worship Wuzangmiao.

Beside the carriage, a lot of thoughts rolled in Yu Lie's heart.

A wisp of mysterious spiritual blood also penetrated into his body from the playboy, rolling constantly.

A look of joy appeared on Yu Lie's face.

I saw that the spiritual root on the back of his head, which was only two inches long, was growing up little by little at a speed barely visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the dogtail grass spiritual root broke through three inches and came to the middle stream, which could be regarded as the sixth-level true spiritual root!

In terms of the appearance of the spiritual root, its head became thicker and bigger, and the spike was heavier, which looked much fuller than before.

Yu Lie took a deep breath and was very happy:

"My magical power is really useful. It can help this body devour other spiritual roots and use them for itself!"

Unfortunately, after a while, Yu Lie opened his eyes with regret and looked at the hideous corpse of the third young master opposite.

The spiritual root in the opponent's bloodline had been completely extracted and added to Yu Lie's body, but it did not help Yu Lie's spiritual root grow to the fifth level. It was still three inches long and could not reach four inches.

Yu Lie touched his head and muttered, "If this thing of yours could be one foot long, I would be comfortable in my life."

Buzzing, his mind settled, and the spiritual root behind his head descended and retracted into the spine.

Yu Lie got up from the ground, clapped his hands, and said to the third young master lightly, "Thank you, fellow Taoist! Now, the problem of worshipping the five internal organs is solved."

Then he walked forward and stripped the dandy's clothes. Except for the underwear, which he disliked and did not wear, he put on all the other things, including hairpins and sachets.

After dressing neatly, he took out a silver mirror from the carriage, placed it on the frame, and looked at it carefully.

With the temperament bonus from his body, Yu Lie changed into a robe at this moment. Except for his pale face, he was a handsome young man.

His temperament was extraordinary and he looked more like a young master than the dead Third Young Master lying on the ground.

After doing all these, he did not rush to escape from here to avoid the demon that caused the mountain worship team to flee, but sat upright on the carriage with his back to the direction they came from.

Not long after, a blood-stained figure saw the overturned carriage from a distance, and his face showed great joy.

The other party was older than Yu Lie, estimated to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, and looked strong and powerful, almost the same as an adult. In his hand, he was holding a simple knife with runes engraved on it. The runes flickered, surging like blood.

This knife was the talisman knife given by his father in the mouth of the dandy boy. It was made of refined steel and could absorb human blood and repeatedly exert magic power, so that mortals could also compete with beasts and demons.

And after absorbing enough blood, the material of the talisman knife itself would be tempered and turned into a precious material called "blood steel".

As soon as the strong young man came to the carriage, he looked at the elegant figure sitting on the carriage frame, then he threw away the talisman knife, knelt on the ground, and shouted with his head down:

"Master, Atong is late and frightened you."

After shouting, the strong young man's face was filled with murderous intent. He turned his head left and right and said viciously: "Where is that guy Gouwei? Did he abandon you and run away? Atong will kill him now."

But what responded to him was a voice that made his pupils shrink suddenly and his face look shocked.

Yu Lie turned his head, looked at him with a smile, and said:

"Brother Atong, are you looking for me?"

The strong young man stared at Yu Lie's face blankly and recognized him, but his mind was dazed for a while, suspecting that he had lost his mind and was dazzled by fighting with the demon.

Because the face that appeared in his eyes at this moment was not the lowly and timid temperament of his fellow villager Gouwei, but it made people feel that he was of noble origin, definitely not a farmer, and his temperament was many times better than that of the young master.

The strong young man was in a trance and felt admiration, and even wanted to bow down in front of such a noble man and serve as a dog and horse.

The next moment, he covered his neck, and blood foam spurted out of his throat.

The strong young man pointed at Yu Lie and said in disbelief: "Why are you wearing... the young master's clothes?"

Yu Lie held his butcher knife and spun it around.

Just now, taking advantage of the moment when the other party was distracted, he decisively made a move and cut off the neck of this beast, without even a trace of blood on the knife.

Yu Lie jumped off the frame, walked to the strong young man, stepped on the other party's still twitching body, kicked away the talisman knife first, then shook his head and said:

"Why did Brother A Tong want to kill me as soon as he opened his mouth?

You and I are both from poor families in the village. My brother saw that you were being bullied, but he planned to bring you into the temple, practice together, and build a career in the immortal way."

What he said was not completely false.

If he could get the cooperation of the strong young man, Yu Lie's act of replacing the identity of the third young master into the mountain would be safer and less likely to be exposed. However, even if the other party agreed, Yu Lie would not immediately trust this beast.

The strong young man lay on the ground, holding his neck tightly, staring at the dark underground sky with wide eyes, and died inexplicably.

After checking that the man was dead, Yu Lie immediately sat cross-legged again, and the gray flame popped out, trying to swallow the spiritual roots and blood in the boy's body into his body.

Soon, his face showed joy and disappointment:

"After a person dies, the blood is not cold and the soul is not scattered, so the spiritual roots can still be devoured by me.

It's a pity that this person is the same as me before, with fake spiritual roots. After swallowing his spiritual roots, the quality of my spiritual roots has only increased a little, and still has not broken through to more than four inches. It is not as huge as before."

Yu Lie pondered: "It seems that using the Creation Death Flame to devour blood spiritual roots is also limited. Eating inferior ones is not as good as eating superior ones."

After sorting it out, he clapped his hands again, stood up from the ground, first picked up the talisman knife of the strong young man, held it in his hand, and then ripped open the other's robe and took out several blood-colored broken spiritual stones sewn in the lining of the other.

Afterwards, Yu Lie dragged the bodies of the two young men into the carriage, took away all the goods, and started a fire to set the carriage on fire.

A stream of smoke also rose in the dim sky, straight.

Yu Lie looked at the black smoke and breathed a sigh of relief: "Now it's all right, I can replace the plum with a peach with peace of mind."

He carried the talisman, the token and the treasure, and planned to walk back along the route he came.

But after walking a distance, Yu Lie turned back and looked at the black smoke from the fire he set, and chose to stay where he was and wait patiently.

According to this body's memory in the team and the extent of the monster's attack, even a teenager holding a talisman knife could easily escape, and Yu Lie keenly found that there was a problem.

He secretly said: "If the Wuzang Temple's three-yearly disciple-recruiting ceremony is really disrupted, a few outer disciples can't bear the responsibility."

Sure enough, not long after, a man in a black robe, riding a paper horse, passed by Yu Lie. Not long after, the other party led the demonized wildebeest that had run away before, returned to the carriage, and slowly stopped in front of Yu Lie.

The other party was looking down on him, wearing a cloak, and seemed to have cast a spell on his face, so Yu Lie couldn't see his face clearly, and couldn't even hear his voice clearly, and couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman.

Dressed like this, he was the outer disciple of Wuzangmiao who was responsible for receiving new disciples.

"You are quite courageous. You even dared to raise the smoke."

The other party rode on a paper horse and said lightly: "Follow me, I'll take you to the mountain gate."

Yu Lie stood up immediately after hearing this, bowed to the other party, and then followed the other party obediently, walking to other places.

Regarding the wildebeest in the other party's hand, he didn't say that the horse should belong to him, and the other party didn't ask him to ride it.

Because when he found the next escaped family child, the man was frightened by this outer disciple even more, and immediately took out a dozen spirit stones to the other party, and was grateful.

This scene made Yu Lie stunned.

He was not surprised by the extortion. Yu Lie had long guessed that the demons' attack was most likely staged by this group of outer disciples.

What surprised him was: "They haven't even set foot on the path of cultivation, but they have spirit stones in their hands. Everyone has so many!"

Yu Lie touched the twenty or so hard stones in his arms, and regretted it immediately.

"If I had known this, I should have taken this opportunity to make more money."

It took about two days.

All the new disciples who fled were found and gathered together.

Among the nearly 100 outer disciples, only a few died, which can be regarded as no loss, but the servants suffered a lot.

There are many "noble family children" like Yu Lie who have become lonely.

Yu Lie mixed in with them, with his hair loose, and kept a low profile. No one of the young masters and young ladies who were like frightened birds could recognize him at all.

Everyone continued to move forward.

Nothing strange happened on the road. Occasionally, there were sounds of demons attacking, but before they could get close to a hundred steps, they were killed by the "fully prepared" Wuzangmiaowaimen disciples.

The only thing that made Yu Lie feel uncomfortable was that there was no distinction between day and night on the road, and the sky was always dark.

When everyone trudged to a mountain with five fingers, a scarlet flame burned on the highest peak in the middle, and its light shone for dozens of miles, as if the sun had fallen on the mountain, which made the inside and outside of the mountain black and white.

This mountain with five fingers was the destination of Yu Lie's trip to worship the mountain.

There was a temple on the mountain, named "Wuzang Temple", which could cultivate longevity.
