The daoist who flirts with me is actually the object of my escape from marriage [Transmigration Book

The rapidly moving scenes around merged into dazzling lights and shadows, and Shen Li felt that his body was constantly being pulled, stretched, and torn apart by external forces.The subtle pain came from all the limbs, and it reached its peak when it was completely swallowed by the light.

"Ah—" Shen Li cried out in surprise and turned over to sit up, and someone beside him immediately greeted him.

"Master, did you have a nightmare?" The cold young man in his memory was wrapped in white clothes, he leaned down, his face was not clearly reflected by the backlight.

Shen Li stared blankly at that face for a long time, a thought kept reverberating in his chaotic mind.

No, he shouldn't be here.

He is clearly with Ji Yun, he is clearly in...

"What is Master thinking?" The boy's face was still a little childish, maybe it was the reason why he always had a straight face in the past, and he looked much more mature than his peers.Seeing that Shen Li was still in a daze, the young man showed dissatisfaction: "Master insisted on going to swim in the lake yesterday, why did he fall asleep as soon as he got up, if Master doesn't want to, we'd better go back."

After he finished speaking, Shen Li realized that the two of them were sitting in a black-covered boat.Surrounded by mountains on both sides, there is no human habitation.The clouds and mists on the mountainside are transpiring, and the mountain top is hidden in the dense fog, only insects and birds are singing, one after another.

Strange, why is he here?

He clearly should...

Before Shen Li could figure it out, the boy straightened up and was about to leave.

Shen Xin's heart tightened, and he subconsciously raised his hand to grab the other's sleeve.At that moment, Shen Li's mind went blank, and then he heard a lower but clear and gentle voice: "Ayun, why are you so awkward? of the lake."

The young man's ears turned red, he struggled hard and did not break free, but Shen Li let go just at this moment.The boy staggered and nearly fell into the water, but was lifted up by a breeze that happened to pass by.

"Hahaha..." With a lift of his fingertips, Shen Li put the boy back on the boat firmly.The young man's icy expression was broken by panic, and Shen Li laughed unscrupulously, "Be careful, little fool, the lake water in early spring is very cold, if you fall into it, you will get sick, I won't carry you home."

"You—!" The boy blushed, but couldn't say anything, staring at him without saying a word.

Shen Li laughed enough, stretched his body and lay on the bow of the boat, with one hand casually hanging on the water.The slender and white fingertips were soaked in water for a few minutes, Shen Li leaned on his arm, and turned his head to look at the young man beside him.

The young man was still standing in front of him, his face was frosty, his waist was outlined in a plain white tunic, his body was tall and tall, and he could vaguely see what kind of appearance he would bring to the country and the people in the future.

The male protagonist is the male protagonist, he is really different from our salted fish.Shen Li stroked his chin, muttering to himself.

At this moment, the boy turned his head and bumped into Shen Li's eyes.

puff-

A red carp jumped out of the water, and then fell down quickly, causing ripples.

The black-covered boat waded down the water, creating a long and wide crack in the water.

"Master, Master?" There was a familiar call in his ears, Shen Li opened his eyes and found that he had returned to Ling Yunjian's bedroom.

As if waking up from a dream, Shen Li closed his eyes and pressed his throbbing temples, casually took a sip of the tea cup at hand, and then suppressed the feeling of unreality in his heart: "Ah Yun, what's the matter?"

The man seemed to be in a good mood, his face that didn't smile much in the past seemed to melt like ice and snow, revealing a look that was rarely seen in the past.

He bowed respectfully to Shen Li, and his brows could not hide his joy: "The disciple has retreated for more than three months, and finally broke through the golden core stage, and now he has successfully formed the core."

A clatter.

The teacup in Shen Li's hand fell to the ground, and the broken porcelain scattered all over the floor.

"Master, be careful!" The man quickly pulled Shen Li up and whispered something in his ear.

But Shen Li couldn't hear anything.

He didn't feel any pain when the hot tea dripped onto his hands.

He looked up at the man beside him.He was a little taller than Shen Li in his youthful appearance, his handsome and cold features were clear and three-dimensional, his eyes were dark and deep, and when he looked at him, he was full of restrained tenderness.

A certain extremely heavy emotion is like an impenetrable net, tightly wrapping Shen Li in it.

He pinched his palm tightly, and he didn't know how long it had passed before he heard his own voice, the tone remained steady: "It's a good thing to form an alchemy, it's very good... let's go, let's celebrate for you."

He opened the door in a daze, and a dazzling light shone in from outside the door. Shen Li raised his hand to block it, his vision changed from white to black, and a chill suddenly enveloped his whole body.

He stood in the dark prison, and his breath was cold and wet with bloody air.Not far away, the heavy subway chain locked the emaciated man in a corner.He fell into a pool of blood, his body trembling slightly under the severe pain, his white clothes had already been dyed blood red, only his face was extremely pale.

Shen Li narrowed his eyes and lowered his head in disbelief.

He was holding a small, faintly white, crystal clear inner alchemy in his palm.

"I'll kill you." The man raised his head, the resentment in his eyes seemed to be concretized into sharp knives glowing with cold light, piercing deeply into Shen Li's heart, one knife after another.

Shen Li's body trembled heavily, his lips trembled as he wanted to say something, but he stopped abruptly.

The man's voice echoed in the dark prison over and over again, low and soft, extremely hoarse, but extremely clear.

He said: "Master...Shen Li, I will kill you sooner or later, I will kill you with my own hands sooner or later."

The extremely depressed emotions made him unable to control himself at last, Shen Li turned his head and ran out desperately, but at the same time, countless pictures flooded in like a tide, and he was caught in the raging torrent in an instant.

Shen Li seemed to be strangled by the throat, and his consciousness gradually became chaotic——

"...Wake up, A Li? A Li!"

A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Shen Li grabbed the person beside him as if he was drowning.I don't know how long it took before he gradually woke up from the suffocating feeling.

His eyes were blurred, and he couldn't see anything clearly. In a trance, he could only hear his own rapid breathing.

Shen Li took a deep breath, and smelled the familiar and involuntarily calming fragrance in his nostrils.A warm body clings to his body, gentle and strong, holding him tightly in his arms.

It's Qi Changzhao.

Gradually regaining consciousness, Shen Li gently pushed the person who was hugging him.

Qi Changzhao let him go, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Shen Li didn't understand: "What can I have—"

His voice stopped abruptly.

He clearly felt that something was sliding down his cheek and dripping onto the back of his hand, and he finally understood the reason for his blurred vision.

Shen Li stared blankly at the crystal clear drop of water on the back of his hand, his eyes were full of puzzlement.

He cried?

This is indeed a miracle.

In fact, Shen Li hadn't shed tears for a long time. He traveled through various worlds for so many years, and how many such schemes and calculations he had done, even he himself couldn't count.If he was so emotional every time, he would have no way to continue.

He also thought that he had no desires and desires, and he would not be moved by anything at all.

But now he...

A hand stretched out and gently wiped away the tears on his face: "There is some kind of illusion array set up here, which will make people who enter this place fall into the illusion and see the best and most painful things in their life."

"...People who are addicted to illusions have chaotic consciousness, and if they are not aware of it, they will fall off the edge of this cliff and be smashed to pieces."

Shen Li opened his mouth, only then did he notice the environment around them.

This is a very empty cave with a very high dome and bottomless bottom.The surface of the stone wall reflected a faint blue fluorescence, illuminating the scene in the cave.

Numerous large and small holes are scattered like a honeycomb, and they are now in front of one of the holes.

As long as you take another step forward, you will fall into the bottomless bottom of the cave.

Shen Li had a splitting headache, he pressed the center of his brows, and said in a low voice, "You saved me?"

"En." Qi Changzhao pointed to the pendant on Shen Li's neck, the golden pendant glowed with a faint golden light, which quickly faded.

Presumably, he escaped from the illusion first, and found Shen Li through this.

Shen Li lowered his eyes: "Thank you."

Qi Changzhao helped him up, and fixedly looked at him: "What did you see?"

Shen Li: "I..."

He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "It's nothing...just old things."

Qi Changzhao's eyes darkened, and he didn't say anything.

Shen Li asked: "Have you seen Qin Muzhi?"

Qi Changzhao turned his gaze to one side, and Shen Li followed his gaze. On the stone wall not far to the lower right of them, there was a broken piece of black cloth hanging.

It was exactly the same as Qin Muzhi's clothes.

Shen Li frowned, and looked down at the bottom of the dark cave.It was like layers of black mist shrouded there, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Did he fall?"

Qi Changzhao: "It should look like this."

Shen Li squatted by the rock, looked at the dark cave bottom for a moment, then remembered something, tilted his head and asked, "What does the death of Elder Qingxu have to do with you?"

Qi Changzhao's expression remained unchanged: "What do you think it has to do with me?"

Shen Li directly blamed Qin Muzhi: "Master Qin said that Elder Qingxu died in the bronze mirror..."

"It's not me." Qi Changzhao said this sentence lightly, without any further explanation.

Shen Li let out an "oh", without comment: "What should we do now?"

Qi Changzhao: "According to my divination, the underground palace should be directly below us."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go." Shen Li patted the hem of his clothes and stood up.

Qi Changzhao didn't move: "You don't want to rest for a while?"

"There's nothing to rest on." Shen Li waved his hand, "Just now I didn't notice it for a moment and fell into an illusion, it's nothing."

As Shen Li said, he was about to cast a spell to fly down, but Qi Changzhao reached out and grabbed his wrist.

His palm was hot, and Shen Li couldn't help but flinch.

At the same time, a fairy sword flowing with white light appeared at Qi Changzhao's feet.

Qi Changzhao used a little force to pull Shen Li to his side: "Don't be brave, I'll take you down."

The bottom of the cave was not as deep as it looked. The two of them fell to the ground with their swords, but they did not find any trace of Qin Muzhi. Only the messy footprints on the ground showed that someone had indeed been here before them, but those footprints Where it ended up going, I don't know.

The passages in this cave extend in all directions, and it is not so easy to find someone here.However, they are not all here for that person.

Qi Changzhao patted Shen Li on the shoulder and pointed in a certain direction.

At the other end of the cave not far from the two of them, there is a sealed stone door.

——Extremely similar to the door I saw outside just now.

The two stepped forward.

It is not accurate to say that the two gates are similar.The door outside looked like an ordinary stone door with nothing engraved on it.But this stone gate is densely carved with many strange patterns.

"Is the entrance here?"

Shen Li was about to go up to see what happened, when suddenly Qi Changzhao blocked his eyes with his hand: "Don't look."

Shen Li: "Huh?"

Qi Changzhao said calmly, "It's a snake."

After he finished speaking, he obviously felt the body beside him stiffen for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Shen Li pulled Qi Changzhao's hand, and smiled nonchalantly: "What do you think of me, I'm a little afraid of that thing, but I'm not afraid of even carving it out."

As he spoke, he looked towards the stone gate, and he really saw two snakes intertwined with each other engraved in the center of the stone gate from bottom to top.The two lifelike snake heads were spitting out letters, and the hollow snake eyes met Shen Li's gaze straightly.

Shen Li: "..."

Qi Changzhao crossed his arms and looked at him leisurely.

Shen Li laughed dryly, stretched out his hands, grabbed Qi Changzhao's sleeves, and took half a step back stiffly, hiding himself behind Qi Changzhao.

Who is unlucky, what are you doing to make the stone carvings so realistic?

Qi Changzhao laughed and shook his head, looked intently at the stone carving, but saw some clues: "Come and see here..."

Shen Li's closed eyes opened a gap, quickly glanced at the place Qi Changzhao was pointing at, and then retracted immediately: "Yeah, I saw it, and then what?"

Qi Changzhao: "..."

Qi Changzhao was silent for a moment, brushing his fingers over the two snake-shaped stone carvings, thoughtfully: "Don't you think that the movements of these two snakes are very similar to..."

He hesitated to speak, but Shen Li didn't dare to see it himself, so he could only ask, "What does it look like?"

"mating."

Shen Li didn't even care about being afraid at this time, he poked his head out from behind Qi Changzhao, and quickly looked towards the Shimen again.

The bodies of these two snakes are extremely long, they are almost completely entwined, and their lower bodies are tightly fitted together, which really looks like a copulation action.

Shen Li looked at it twice but didn't dare to look again, and asked: "Can you see anything? How to get in?"

Qi Changzhao glanced at him sideways, and said softly, "Go to the side and rest, I'll try."

"Okay, Daoist, come on!"

Shen Li couldn't wait for it, so he hurriedly slipped aside.

Qi Changzhao stood still in front of the stone gate, still staring at the carvings on the stone gate seriously, as if he wanted to find something.

Shen Li squatted aside, quietly admiring the tall and slender back and profile of this person.

It was strange to say that this person had just escaped from the illusion, but he looked like a normal person, not at all as embarrassed as Shen Li.

Shen Li was curious for a moment, and asked, "Master Daoist, what did you see in that illusion?"

Qi Changzhao's eyes froze, he shook his head: "It's nothing."

"Why not?" Shen Li said, "Just now you said that the illusion makes people see the most beautiful and painful things. Could it be that you don't have beautiful or painful things?"

Qi Changzhao's eyes moved slightly, and he closed his eyes gently: "I saw..."

He thought he would see that person digging out his golden core, but he didn't.

In the beginning, he saw many trivial things.They practiced martial arts and swords, performed chivalry, and traveled around the world... The past that had long been forgotten in the long river of memory unfolded before his eyes one by one, and finally he pierced the man's heart with his sword.

A long and severe pain spread from his heart, Qi Changzhao smiled wryly, but said: "You don't want to tell me what you saw, and you come here to inquire about something... Stay away, I'm going to open the door."

After Qi Changzhao finished speaking, he began to chant something in a low voice, formed a seal with his hands, and the little spiritual power rays gushing out from his fingertips merged into an unfamiliar magic circle in front of him.

Presumably it was the secret technique of the Guixu Sword Sect.

"break!"

Following Qi Changzhao's low shout, the stone gate trembled heavily and slowly separated from it.

Shen Li keenly noticed something strange.

"Be careful!" Shen Li stepped forward to pull Qi Changzhao, and at the same time as his words fell, a cloud of white smoke rose from the stone gate.

Without even thinking about it, Qi Changzhao threw himself sideways at Shen Li, the two of them fell to the ground, and fine white dust sprinkled them all.

"Cough, cough—" Although most of the dust was blocked by Qi Changzhao, Shen Li still inevitably inhaled some, choking and coughing profusely.

He hurriedly got up, patted the powder on himself and Qi Changzhao, and asked, "What is this, isn't it poisonous?"

Qi Changzhao picked up some powder from the ground, twisted it with his fingers, shook his head and said, "I don't see what it is, do you feel unwell?"

"No."

Qi Changzhao nodded: "Be careful, and tell me if you feel unwell."

The two entered the cave.

Passing through the long cave corridor, the sound of running water can be faintly heard.The two quickened their pace and walked forward, the narrow corridor suddenly opened up, and in front of them was a stone cave that was much smaller than before.

There is a deep pool in the cave, and the water in the pool is dark and muddy due to the blue light on the stone wall, but apart from this, there are no other passages.

On the bank of the pool, there stands a statue.

It was a plump woman with half-undressed clothes, her posture and body lines were clearly visible, but her face was blurred, as if it hadn't been carved yet, which looked extraordinarily strange in this closed cave.

Having said that, the woman's body is really... lifelike.

Shen Li only glanced at the statue, then awkwardly looked away, not knowing where to put his eyes.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Qi Changzhao was still staring at the statue intently, and suddenly became angry: "What are you looking at, is there anyone who looks at other women like that?"

Qi Changzhao: "..."

Qi Changzhao let out a breath, wanted to say something but held back, and said softly: "Find a way out, it should be here."

Shen Li snorted coldly, turned his head and walked to the other side of the stone wall.

There is actually no place to hide things in this stone cave, it is less than five feet wide from left to right, and the pool of water occupies most of the area, only the stone wall is still full of dense patterns.

Shen Li pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out what was engraved on it, but he could probably guess that it should be an ancient script.

Shen Li roughly glanced at the stone wall in front of him, confirmed that he didn't know a word, and turned to look at Qi Changzhao.The man was also standing in front of a stone wall, but his expression was serious and solemn, as if he was carefully reading the things on it.

... Can he understand?

Shen Li posted it quietly: "Do you understand?"

"Before I came here, I deliberately studied some ancient totems and characters in the Lingnan area. Although I can't understand all of them, I can roughly guess some."

Shen Li: "Tell me."

Qi Changzhao said: "The Lingnan area is hot and humid, which is extremely suitable for the growth of poisonous things such as snakes, scorpions, insects and ants. Therefore, in ancient times, some ancestors caught these poisonous insects for cultivation or medicine."

"That's the earliest... Gu making."

"According to the stone wall, there should be an underground palace built by a certain tribe living here. That tribe can make Gu, and both practice poison and medicine. It has a good reputation in the south of the Lingnan area. They believe that poisonous insects will bring them With endless status and wealth, snakes are regarded as totems and their patron saints."

Shen Li shuddered fiercely: "Pervert..."

Qi Changzhao glanced at him lightly.

Shen Li quickly apologized: "The Taoist continues, so what is this underground palace used for?"

"Sacrifice." Qi Changzhao said leisurely, "The location we are now should still be on the periphery of the underground palace. If we walk in, we will enter the core of the underground palace. Deep in the core of the underground palace, there are magical artifacts and storage methods that have been guarded by this clan for thousands of years. altar of vessels."

Shen Li: "Isn't that what we're looking for?"

Qi Changzhao lowered his eyes and didn't answer.

The light in the cave was dim, and Shen Li couldn't see his expression clearly, but he vaguely felt that this person's body was a little unusual... tense?

Shen Li was about to speak, but Qi Changzhao continued to speak, his voice was gentle and steady, and nothing unusual could be heard.

"This tribe respects women, and regards childbirth as the highest glory. They believe that the patron saint in the dark is also a woman, so they will regularly send young and strong men from the clan into this underground palace to become patron saints. sacrifice."

Shen Li raised his eyebrows, and pointed to the sculpture by the pool: "That's the Guardian God?"

"No." Qi Changzhao said, "According to what the above said, it should be a close servant of the Guardian God."

Shen Li nodded clearly, still a little puzzled: "Where did this crooked way come from? I've seen people who ate virgin boys and girls, and I've seen people who were buried with young and beautiful women. A strong man's blood sacrifice, this is too..."

"It's really absurd."

Qi Changzhao accepted his words calmly, turned around and walked to the edge of the pool, bowed his head and looked down.

"Most of the content carved on the stone wall is true or false, and there may be speculations and guesses by later generations, so I can't believe it. If my prediction is correct, the entrance of the underground palace should enter from this water. The so-called test of the valet is probably the same. in this way."

Qi Changzhao straightened up suddenly, turned to look at him: "Go down and have a look first."

Shen Li was startled: "Me?"

It's not difficult to let him go down, but along the way, this person has always stood in front of him in danger, and never asked him to explore the way first.

Shen Li frowned, instinctively feeling a little weird.

He vaguely noticed something, but was unable to gather a complete train of thought for the time being.

The pair of snakes copulating on the stone gate, the statue of a half-dressed maid, the tribe that respects women and advocates fertility...

"Then—" Shen Li was about to speak, but his expression froze suddenly.

An indescribable heat surged from his body, and his blood rushed to his brain.

This feeling...

As long as he is a normal man, he will not fail to understand what this feeling means.He changed his breath silently, and in just this moment, his breath had already started to become scorching hot.

On the contrary, the body's instinctive reaction made Shen Li's brain clear, and the fragmented information finally merged into one place.

Whether it is the double snake stone carving or this extremely ambiguous sculpture, they are all inseparable from the relationship between men and women.This tribe selects young men to enter the altar, not to sacrifice human blood, but to—

A man is to have sex with someone, or something, in this altar.

This thought made Shen Li's body covered with goosebumps. He took a deep breath and tried his best to maintain a steady tone: "Master Dao, I seem to—"

Shen Li's voice stopped abruptly.

Even if there really is some kind of poison that stimulates desire here, it is impossible for him to be infected without noticing it.From entering this spiritual vein to now, all he has come into contact with is... the dust that was raised from the stone gate when he entered the double snake stone gate.

But in this way, wouldn't Ji Yun who blocked most of him for him...

Shen Li raised his head in astonishment, the plain white figure was standing by the pool with his back to him, his figure was still tall and straight, there was no trace of it.

But upon closer inspection, the man's back was clearly trembling slightly.

He also fell for it.
