The ancestor of talismans

"What should I do?"

Xu Changshou's forehead was sweating. He looked at the ground under his feet. It was red hard soil.

He gritted his teeth and took out a soil escape talisman and pasted it on his body.

Then, Xu Changshou went directly into the ground.

Three or four meters deep underground, Xu Changshou could still feel the existence of the formation.

He continued to drill down. After drilling seven or eight meters, he could no longer feel the existence of the formation.

At this time, Xu Changshou began to drill inside.

The deeper he drilled, the hotter it became. Xu Changshou was almost suffocating.

After drilling for ten meters, Xu Changshou suddenly felt a sudden relief on his head. He understood that he had passed through the formation.

To be on the safe side, Xu Changshou drilled another three or four meters before starting to drill upwards.

Who knew that the soil became harder the higher he went. When he was about to drill out of the ground, Xu Changshou encountered a layer of rock.

Xu Changshou's face turned black. The soil escape talisman could only be used for earth escape, but not for rocks.

In desperation, Xu Changshou took out another wall-penetrating talisman and finally got to the ground.

At this time, he had passed through the formation.

The cave suddenly became wide and hot, and there was a boiling lava river in front of him.

Xu Changshou was afraid that if he went a little further, he would plunge into the lava river.

With the light of the lava, you can see that there is a nursery about ten feet in size on the bank of the lava river. The nursery is surrounded by guardrails and red, green and green herbs are planted inside.

Xu Changshou leaned over to take a look. Each grass has four leaves, and the leaves are spread out like a windmill.

"Yes, this is the Four Immortal Grass!"

There are two kinds of Four Immortal Grass here.

One is green, and green means it is not mature yet.

The other is red, which is mature and can be used as medicine.

Xu Changshou counted carefully. There were twenty-eight green plants and fourteen red plants.

Xu Changshou nodded secretly. The Zhu family was indeed not honest.

According to Hu Jiuniang, the Zhu family reported a total of 36 four-immortal grasses, 24 immature ones and 12 mature ones.

In fact, there were 28 immature ones and 14 mature ones.

The extra ones must have gone into the Zhu family's pocket.

But now they are mine.

Xu Changshou smiled and pulled out two mature four-immortal grasses directly, then took out two jade boxes and put the four-immortal grasses in them respectively.

After packing the four-immortal grasses, Xu Changshou sealed the jade box with spiritual energy.

Once sealed, the medicinal effect will not be lost, but it must not be opened. If it is opened, the medicine must be used.

Xu Changshou did not get more of the two four-immortal grasses. Two four-immortal grasses were enough for him.

It's not that he didn't want to get more, but he didn't dare. This is an important strategic material of the sect. If he got too much, the sect would definitely send someone to track it down.

Xu Changshou and others were in Zhujiayao at this time. They were the most suspicious. I'm afraid they would be the first to be investigated.

If a great foundation-building cultivator is sent to interrogate, directly targeting the soul, Xu Changshou's theft of the Four Immortal Grass will definitely be exposed.

It is safest to take only two of the Four Immortal Grasses.

The Zhu family reported twelve plants to the sect, and he stole the extra two plants, which were privately kept by the Zhu family.

In this way, even if the Zhu family knew that someone had stolen the spiritual medicine, they would not dare to make it public and could only admit this loss in silence.

"Not good, Xiao Xuanzi was knocked unconscious."

"Quick, quick, quick! The formation has been moved."

"Go in and take a look."

There was a noisy sound outside, and it was obvious that the Zhu family had come.

Xu Changshou took out the wall-penetrating talisman again, escaped underground, and then changed to the earth escape talisman.

This time, Xu Changshou got out of the cave in one breath, and then hid with an invisibility talisman.

He glanced at the cave, and at this time, the people of the Zhu family had entered the cave.

Someone woke up the young man who was guarding the gate:

"Xiao Xuanzi, wake up, tell grandpa what happened just now?"

"I don't know anything, I just saw a black shadow, and then I was knocked unconscious."

Inside the cave.

The Zhu family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the formation was intact.

Zhu Songling smiled and said, "The formation was triggered, but it was not opened, it should be fine."

Zhu Songbai said proudly, "Don't worry, big brother, a mere thief wants to break our Zhu family's forbidden formation, it's just wishful thinking, this is what grandpa spent a lot of effort on back then..."

"Okay, second brother, go in and take a look, the Four Immortal Grass is of great importance, don't make any mistakes."

The brothers Zhu Songling and Zhu Songbai opened the formation and came directly to the magma river.

"One, two, three, four, five... twelve!"

"One, two, three, four, five... twelve!"

They counted twice in a row, both twelve.

The two brothers looked at each other in surprise.

"Brother, is it missing?"

"Yes, two are missing."

The cave is closed, with only one entrance. The formation at the entrance has not been broken, and there is no sign of damage to the cave wall.

"Second brother, you have to give me an explanation."

"What, brother, you doubt me?"

"This formation can only be opened by the two of us brothers. Who else can open it besides you?"

"I am wronged, brother. It's not me. It's really not me."

"If it's not you, who else can it be? Grandpa."

"Brother, grandpa is about to become a Taoist. No matter how confused I am, I can't do such a thing!"

"Hmph! Don't think I don't know. It's because grandpa is about to become a Taoist that my Zhu family is in danger. You want to leave the Zhu family, so you stole the four immortal herbs."

"I am wronged, brother. It's really not me."

"Second brother, hand over the four immortal herbs quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"Nonsense, you are slandering me. No, it's you, it's you, you must have stolen the Four Immortal Grasses and blamed me."

"Nonsense!"

"..."

In the cave, the Zhu brothers quarreled.

Outside, three figures quickly rushed towards the cave, they were Leng Muyang, Sun Zhengyang and Hu Jiuniang.

At this time, Hu Jiuniang had changed her clothes and pretended to know nothing and followed them.

As soon as they entered the cave, Xu Changshou immediately showed his figure and followed them.

"What happened?"

Leng Muyang spoke loudly.

Hearing him speak, the Zhu brothers hurriedly stopped arguing, then quickly closed the formation and walked outside.

"Fellow Daoist Leng, why are you here?"

Zhu Songling came out quickly, looking up and down at the four people, as if trying to find some flaws.

Just now in the cave, although Zhu Songling insisted that it was his brother who did it, he was also a little suspicious of Leng Muyang and others.

After all, they were all in the Zhu family at this time, and it was normal to be tempted by the Four Immortal Grasses.

The only thing that Zhu Songling couldn't understand was that two of the Four Immortal Grasses were missing, but the formation was not broken, so how did they steal them?

Leng Muyang said unhappily: "I heard the alarm and rushed here. It's late at night. What are you doing in the Zhu family? Can you let people sleep?"

Leng Muyang was very unhappy. He was having fun with the maid and was suddenly interrupted. Of course he was unhappy.

"It's nothing. It may be that the wild beasts in the mountains triggered the formation, so the alarm sounded. It's okay."

Leng Muyang looked unconvinced: "It's okay? It's okay. Can all the members of your Zhu family go out? Tell me, what happened?"

"What else could it be? The Four Immortal Grasses were stolen!"

Zhu Songbai blurted out.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Zhu Songling, Leng Muyang, Sun Zhengyang, Hu Jiuniang, and Xu Changshou all changed.
