Mortal Bones

"boom!……"

Just as Pingan and Bai Yu went to call Fairy Lingyue, the lid of the bronze coffin in the center of the cave was suddenly slapped open by a hand stretched out from the cave.

Immediately afterwards, the hand that was so thin that it was only skin and bones grasped the edge of the coffin tightly, supporting the same skinny body bit by bit, and slowly stood up from the coffin.

"Hoo, ho, ho!..."

After standing up, the skinny figure began to breathe heavily as if he had been holding his breath for a long time.

And with the sound of breathing, it eased little by little.

The flesh and blood on this skinny and shriveled figure actually began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A moment later, a body that looked lean from a distance and looked as if every inch of its skin was cast from steel appeared in the mysterious cave.

"Pah, pah, pah..."

The traces of demonic energy that overflowed from the huge bronze door of Youxuan Devil's Cave were burned to ashes by the hot blood that spread out from the body before it even touched the body.

"call……"

He closed his eyes, raised his head, and after exhaling a long breath, the man finally lowered his head.

He first glanced at the bronze coffin under him and murmured in confusion:

"Sister Lingyue, why do you want to lock me in this coffin?"

The person who climbed out of the coffin was naturally Xu Taiping.

But at this time, he only had memories of before he was trapped in this bronze coffin. He didn't even know that he had been sleeping in this coffin for three full years.

At this time, Xu Taiping slowly raised his head, his eyes fell on the giant bronze door in front of him, and he looked upward little by little along the giant door, until he saw the top of the giant bronze door, then he fixed his gaze. Then he frowned and said:

"And this, where is...?"

But just after he said these words, a look of horror suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he murmured:

"This...this is the Youxuan Devil's Cave!"

When he said this, the huge bronze door in front of him overlapped with a memory in his mind.

This memory was exactly what he saw when Lu Daoxuan possessed him during the second Seven Peaks Competition.

After further confirmation, Xu Taiping said with great certainty:

"This is the Youxuan Devil's Cave!"

At this moment, a weak and old voice sounded in the empty cave——

"Taiping...you wake up..."

At the same time as this sound sounded, thick chains protruded from the gaps at the bottom of the giant bronze door, and suddenly they all tightened, tightly pulling on the huge iron balls in front of the giant bronze door.

Then, an extremely painful groan came from the giant bronze door.

Xu Taiping, who recognized the voice, immediately jumped out of the bronze coffin and nervously shouted in the direction of the giant bronze door:

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

There is no doubt that the person on the other side of the bronze door who is pulling the iron balls at the moment must be Lu Daoxuan.

Not long after, I heard that old and weak voice resounding in the cave again——

"It's okay to be a teacher."

Xu Taiping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

At this time, Lu Daoxuan behind the bronze door said again:

"Taiping, congratulations on capturing... Zhenwu Sword Leader!"

When he heard that Lu Daoxuan was in extreme pain, but still did not forget to congratulate him, Xu Taiping felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

He shook his head and said:

"Master, being able to defeat Su Chan is not something I can do alone. It is not something worth celebrating."

When Lu Daoxuan heard this, his tone was slightly displeased and he said:

"My disciple is very happy when he wins the title of swordsman. Why can't he celebrate?"

After hearing this familiar tone, Xu Taiping couldn't help but recall the past when he practiced swordsmanship with Lu Daoxuan, whose pseudonym was Sansan Jushi, and his heart suddenly felt warm.

He immediately nodded and said:

"Master thinks it's worth celebrating, then it's worth celebrating."

When he said this, Xu Taiping suddenly took out a wine gourd from the ring, and then walked quickly towards the bronze door, saying happily:

"Master, I have wine here!"

Since we want to celebrate, of course wine is indispensable.

When he heard that there was wine, Lu Daoxuan on the other side of the bronze door immediately said in a very excited tone:

"Quick, quick, get it quickly!"

While talking, Xu Taiping had already arrived in front of the bronze door.

Regardless of his manners, he sat directly on the floor, rolled the wine gourd along the gap under the bronze door, and then reminded Lu Daoxuan:

"Master, the wine is over!"

But what was a little strange to Xu Taiping was that even though the rolling sound of the wine gourd had stopped, there was no response from Lu Daoxuan on the other side of the bronze door.

So he asked with some worry:

"Master, have you ever seen that wine gourd?"

Only then did Lu Daoxuan say:

“Good wine!”

These short words without any emotion seemed to be hiding something.

But immediately, Lu Daoxuan shouted again very happily——

“Good wine!”

This extremely heroic shout made Xu Taiping feel inexplicably relieved.

Xu Taiping smiled, then said with some regret:

"It's a pity that there is no more Hidden Immortal Brew. Otherwise, I really want to ask Master to give it a try."

When Lu Daoxuan heard this, he disapproved and said:

"Although I have never tasted Hidden Immortal Brewing, it is definitely not comparable to this pot of wine."

As he spoke, with a rolling sound, the wine gourd rolled accurately from the other side of the door to Xu Taiping's side.

Then I heard Lu Daoxuan say:

"Try it!"

Xu Taiping naturally understood the deep meaning of what Lu Daoxuan had just said, but he said nothing. He just picked up the wine gourd, pulled out the cork, and raised his head to take a big sip.

When the strength of the strong liquor in the gourd turned into a heat wave and swept through his internal organs, Xu Taiping also shouted in great pain:

"Good wine!"

Immediately, he rolled the wine gourd in his hand through the gap of the bronze door towards Lu Daoxuan at the other end of the door.

After a little hesitation, Xu Taiping suddenly asked Lu Daoxuan at the door with great curiosity:

"Master, Sister Lingyue brought me here with that bronze coffin. Is it your intention?"

Lu Daoxuan drank a sip of wine and then replied:

"Yes and no."

When Xu Taiping heard this, he was immediately confused.

But before he could ask, he heard Lu Daoxuan say:

"Taiping, I know you have many questions at the moment. Don't worry, let's drink and talk."

As he spoke, the wine gourd had already rolled back from the other side of the door to Xu Taiping's feet.

Xu Taiping nodded, then picked up the wine gourd and took a big sip.

At this time, Lu Daoxuan's very tired voice came from the other side of the bronze door again-

"Today, let's start with the nine bronze coffins behind you."

Just as Lu Daoxuan wanted to continue, a sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the Youxuan Demon Cave.

Along with the footsteps, there was a voice that Xu Taiping was very familiar with-

"Master Lu, don't mind, let me listen together?"

Xu Taiping looked back, and his eyes lit up and said:

"Sister Lingyue!"

That's right, the person who came was Fairy Lingyue.

Hearing this, Lv Daoxuan, who was at the other end of the bronze door, smiled and said, "Of course the more wine, the better."
