Immortal 2077

Chapter 37

The mountain road was pitch black, and the three priests leading the way, two in front and one in the back, held a lantern in their hands to illuminate Bai Ruo and the others.

The light from the lantern was so weak that it could only illuminate the stone steps at the foot.

They climbed all the way up the stone steps without stopping for a rest.

This distance is nothing to Bai Ruo, she can't breathe.But a half-baked guy like Liu Yu was already panting from exhaustion just halfway up the mountain. Although the uncle next to him was not as exaggerated as him, he couldn't hide his tiredness.

The strength of these two people is not as good as that of the priests leading the way.

The Taoist leader who was walking in front weighed them up and made an excuse for everyone to rest where they were.

Bai Ruo took the opportunity to ask the Taoist priest: "I heard that there are many organ formations on this mountain, why didn't they encounter them along the way? Could it be that as long as you walk along the stone steps, you won't encounter them?"

She just asked for the convenience of escaping in case something happened, so even if the priests and nephew Li An were surprised, she didn't care.

The Taoist priest explained: "There is no formation on the stone steps during the day, but as fellow Taoists have seen, we will set up guards at intervals, and when the guards evacuate after midnight, they will be on the stone steps. Also set up a gatekeeper formation."

"Oh." Bai Ruo nodded.

What this means is that there are not many formations on the stone steps, at most they are for early warning.If you want to escape down the mountain, taking the stone steps is a good choice.

"Then, do you also set up formations in the sky?" Bai Ruo asked again.

"Heaven?"

"Yes, if there are people who can fly, don't you care?"

A Taoist priest laughed and said: "Those who can fly into the sky are all great supernatural powers. If they want to come, we can't stop them with our formation. But there are not many thieves in the world who can fly into the sky, so there is no need to guard against them."

Bai Ruohuan said happily: "That's good."

This remark attracted other people's attention, Bai Ruo hurriedly covered her mouth.

But it was too late, the leading Daoist became suspicious of her again, and asked again: "Fellow Daoist, are you really invited by Bai Banxian?"

"Of course! If you don't believe me, won't it be clear if you bring me in front of him and confront him face to face?"

"Your purpose is to meet Bai Banxian, right?"

The Taoist priest's tone became obviously impolite, Bai Ruo sensed that the atmosphere was not right, frowned and said: "I don't want to cause trouble, or we each take a step back, I'll wait here, you go invite that Bai Banxian. You just Say a girl surnamed Bai is waiting for him, and he will definitely come."

The leading Taoist snorted coldly, called the two Taoist priests behind to come up, and said sharply: "Don't think I don't know your plan, Bai Banxian only went up the mountain at noon today, if you were invited by him, how could he not go up in advance?" Talk to us?"

"He forgot." Bai Ruo argued.

"Fellow Daoist, please tell the truth quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude." After he finished speaking, the three of them had already surrounded Bai Ruo, assuming they were ready to strike at any time.

Bai Ruo said helplessly: "Ask me, if I were to be caught without a fight like this, would I be able to see that Bai Banxian?"

"We will ask for instructions as appropriate."

"That's not necessarily true? I'm sorry, but I can't obediently go with you."

Bai Ruo politely nodded to them to express her apology, then turned her footsteps, raised her skirt, and flew past the encirclement of the three of them.Then she quickly went up the mountain. With just one step, she could fly up dozens of stone steps, and disappeared in the sight of several priests in the blink of an eye.

There is no moon tonight, and the mountains are very dark.

There were lighting props in Bai Ruo's backpack, but she didn't dare to use them. Not long after she ran out, there was a voice like "someone broke into the mountain gate" behind her.Not long after, another stream of light rushed into the sky, exploding gorgeous flames like fireworks.

The matter of forcibly breaking into Huainan Mountain has been exposed, and she needs to go up the mountain before those Taoist priests set up a formation to guard the mountain.

But the night was too dark, and because he couldn't see the stone steps under his feet clearly, Bai Ruo kept running uncomfortably.But making light would reveal her position, ruining the good time when it was already dark.

When she was debating whether to take out props for lighting, the stone steps on the mountain lit up with fire one after another.Probably the Taoist priests thought that it was easier to spot Bai Ruo when the light was bright.

This is according to Bai Ruo's wish.

She is not afraid of being discovered, what she is afraid of is going the wrong way.

The roads up the mountain were all lit up, and Bai Ruo could finally show his ability to run fast.She showed more energy than when she was racing against the white old man, her feet were like the wind, and she jumped straight over the heads of the Taoists who tried to stop her.

Before the Taoist priests found her and set up the formation, she had already arrived at the next Taoist priest's guard point.Going back and forth like this several times, Bai Ruo saw the gate of Wuzhuang Temple.

This door is not very elegant, maybe people who practice Taoism don't like to be exaggerated, and there is not even a stone statue at the door.

At this time the door was wide open, and there was no one inside.

But Bai Ruo's "living creature perception" told her that there were many Taoist priests standing in a special formation on both sides of the door.Needless to say, this posture must have set up a formation to wait for Bai Ruo to break through the door.

This Bai Ruocai didn't walk through the main entrance.

She jumped on the wall next to her, and ran along the wall to the place where the buildings were densely packed.

A Taoist priest saw her and immediately shouted, and soon the news of someone breaking into the Taoist temple spread throughout the temple.

The Taoist priests in Wuzhuang temple swarmed out, and began to search in small groups in small groups.As expected of Daoguan, the organization ability is extremely strong, and a search network with almost no dead ends has been formed in such a short period of time.

But Bai Ruo was playing peek-a-boo with them.

Her "living perception" can clearly judge the whereabouts of Taoist priests around her, allowing her to easily avoid their searches.After passing through the encirclement of the Taoist priests, Bai Ruo groped all the way to the most crowded place in the Taoist temple.

It was a main hall of the Taoist temple.

In the main hall, a group of people sat around the table and were eating.Bai Ruo thought to himself, since the old man is a distinguished guest of Taoist Xun Wu, he must also eat there.

Bai Ruo lay on the eaves of the building opposite the main hall, looking into the main hall through the open window.

There were quite a few guests sitting in the main hall, laughing and laughing one after another, no one cared at all that there were thieves breaking into the Wuzhuang Temple.

They are too generous!

Bai Ruo sprawled on the eaves, and she also hoped that they would come out of the hall, so that they might be able to find old man Bai directly.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.

Bai Ruo was still thinking about calling old man Bai outside and letting him come out to get things.But after thinking about it, I felt that this would hurt the old man Bai's face too much.Although the old guy probably wouldn't care about this kind of thing, Bai Ruo still felt bad.

Then she can only sneak into the hall by herself.

With the gorgeous outfit she was wearing, entering the hall dignifiedly would probably not arouse the suspicion of the guests.The Taoist priests who have seen her probably haven't gone up the mountain yet, except for them, no one knows that Bai Ruo is the uninvited guest who broke through the mountain gate.
