The Reckless Man Started by Breaking Through Shawshank

But Wu Xingzhi didn't relax his vigilance. He could feel that the strong malice around him didn't dissipate, but became more intense with the disappearance of the thousand-year-old tree demon.

"Senior, be careful. Grandma has been entrenched here for many years and has many methods. What I did before was just a clone of grandma. His body is buried under this land, or in other words, within a few miles, it is all in grandma's body. scope."

Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help reminding that what she said to the thousand-year-old tree demon before meant that she had completely broken with the thousand-year-old tree demon. If she wanted to survive, she could only follow Wu Xingzhi to the dark. Fortunately, Wu Xingzhi's strength Indeed, as she expected, at least he is also an expert above the Jindan realm.

"Clone?" Wu Xingzhi frowned slightly. This was his first time fighting a monster. Unlike the previous world, although people in the previous world also had various strange abilities, they were all based on the devil fruit of the holy tree. Strength, but in essence, what they rely on is the domineering generated by their own physique, which is more straightforward.

But monsters are different. In addition to their extremely strong and tough bodies, they can also perform various magical spells. For example, the thousand-year-old tree demon, Wu Xingzhi even needs to use all his strength to cut off the opponent's limbs. Don't think too much, the opponent must at least Also reached the extraordinary state.

Although the thousand-year-old tree demon has not done anything for the time being, it is obviously hiding in the dark and watching him closely, and may launch a thunderous blow at any time, so Wu Xingzhi has to be careful.

"Since the Millennium Tree Demon is so powerful, why do you need a gorgeous ghost like you to worship him?" Wu Xingzhi asked suddenly: "With his strength, it would be much faster to do it yourself?"

"Senior, why bother to ask?" Nie Xiaoqian blurted out, this person obviously kept ghosts in captivity, how could she not understand the truth, but then she realized that she had slipped her words, and hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, senior and grandma are naturally different .”

"Senior, as a practitioner, can naturally walk freely in this world, but monsters are different. Once they act too rampantly, they will inevitably put themselves in the spotlight. Grandma has been able to develop secretly in Lanruo Temple for many years. Be cautious, never use your real body to harm others, just force me and other lonely ghosts to enshrine on your behalf, so the name of the thousand-year-old tree demon has never been spread, on the other hand..."

Nie Xiaoqian had a resentful expression on her face: "We are the ones who harm others, and we will naturally bear this karma. What grandma did was to extract the bones and marrow from us, and did not directly attack mortals. Although It is inevitable to be contaminated with a trace of karma, but it is far from being condemned by heaven."

"So that's the case." Wu Xing knew it clearly, and said, "That's why you want to escape from the control of the thousand-year-old tree demon."

"Although Xiaoqian has been trying her best not to hurt people's lives in Lanruo Temple these years, she has been plagued by karma for a long time. If this continues, within three years, Xiaoqian will definitely lose her mind, be condemned by heaven, and her soul will be scattered. By then Of course, grandma can change someone at any time, so how can she care about Xiaoqian's life?" She looked at the translucent Chunhuaqiuyue aside, and said: "The most serious of us is Qiuyue, and her karma has even affected her temperament. Hold back, even take the yang energy of the stranger by force. Even if the seniors don't make a move, Qiuyue may not be far from madness. Now that Qiuyue has taken ghost energy, it may be a good thing, at least she has no ability to go further, and the karma stops here gone."

"Is it karma?" Wu Xingzhi mused to himself. It seems that in this world, karma is not just a moral standard set by human beings, but a force that can indeed affect reality.

This world seems to have its own unique laws of operation. Wu Xingzhi has only glimpsed a small part of it at this time. If he wants to fully understand it, and even complete the basic tasks, he has to take it step by step.

The first step is to take the Millennium Tree Demon.

Thinking of this, Wu Xingzhi temporarily let go of all the clues in his heart, and said, "Since this old guy doesn't want to come out and fight with me, then let's go in and find him."

He looked at Nie Xiaoqian: "You've been with him for so many years, you should know what to do, right? Don't tell me I need to dig three feet into the ground to destroy all the tree roots within a few miles."

Nie Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment: "Shouldn't senior be better at killing demons and demons than me?"

Wu Xingzhi didn't speak, but just looked at her expressionlessly.

Nie Xiaoqian's face became more and more guilty. She couldn't figure out Wu Xingzhi's thoughts, so she could only honestly say: "Although grandma's body is extremely huge, there is still a core. Grandma is only one step away from condensing the demon pill. The pill can turn into a human and walk freely in the world, and that half-finished demon pill is the key to grandma, but I am humble and have no way of knowing where grandma's demon pill is."

"If there is no way to detect the location of the demon core..." Nie Xiaoqian paused: "I'm afraid I can only dig three feet. After all, grandma is different from ordinary monsters. He is a tree demon and can move at any time." The location of the demon pill."

In fact, she would rather take Wu Xingzhi to find her wreckage directly, and then leave Lanruo Temple directly, but she knows herself that she is not qualified to make demands with the other party, so she wisely keeps silent.

Wu Xingzhi frowned. Digging three feet into the ground was the worst choice. The thousand-year-old tree demon's strength is not low. Of course, he can beat the opponent. After all, extraordinary and extraordinary are different. If you completely crush yourself in one aspect, then the result will not be different, but this does not mean that you can crush the thousand-year-old tree demon.

He thought for a while, and suddenly said, "The tree demon mentioned that bearded Yan Chixia before, and he seemed a little afraid? What is his background?"

"This...Xiaoqian is not very clear." Nie Xiaoqian said honestly: "The Taoist came to Lanruo Temple a few days ago. Grandma and him both knew each other's existence, but there was no confrontation. .”

"I heard from my grandma that the Taoist priest's cultivation base is not shallow, and he is a pure Taoist sword cultivator. The name of Lanruo Temple is far away from the world, although grandma is very dissatisfied with the other party's meddling from time to time, but at the critical moment of his alchemy, he only told us to stay away from that Taoist priest."

"Taoist sword repair?" Wu Xingzhi suddenly smiled: "Very good, let's meet that bearded man first."

Nie Xiaoqian was taken aback: "Does senior want to use the power of that Taoist priest to deal with grandma? But senior himself—"

She stopped talking and did not explain. In her eyes, Wu Xingzhi was obviously an evil cultivator who warded off ghosts, and he was not a fellow traveler with that meritorious and obviously righteous figure.

"No need to say more."

Wu Xingzhi descended directly from mid-air, "I just need him to help me find out where the tree demon's demon core is. As long as I show kindness, he probably won't refuse."

Seeing Nie Xiaoqian's hesitant expression, Wu Xingzhi added: "Don't worry, I'm sure, if he can't feel it, hit him until he can feel it."

"..."

You are not looking for help, you are preparing to make more powerful enemies, right?

Can it only be said that the senior is indeed an evil cultivator?

One person and one ghost stopped talking, and walked directly towards the ruined temple. After walking a few steps, Wu Xingzhi suddenly looked stunned.

With my own speed, the distance of hundreds of meters is approaching in an instant. Why is the ruined temple still ahead, and the distance has not changed at all?

He frowned and took a few steps forward. Sure enough, he clearly felt that he had indeed moved forward, but the ruined temple was still far away.

"Spell?" Wu Xingzhi knew it in his heart: "It seems that the tree demon doesn't want me to find a bearded man."

"It's my grandma's deception. Every plant and tree around is under my control, even transformed by my body. If I don't use spells to break it, but just rely on brute force to walk, I'm exhausted and just circle around in place. "Nie Xiaoqian said: "Senior, don't compete with yourself, just cast spells to break the blindfold."

After all, it was just a small spell, and Nie Xiaoqian didn't think that the Golden Core cultivator in her mind would be trapped by tricks.

Wu Xingzhi looked around and was silent for a moment.

Finally, he nodded.

"You fly to the sky first, fly higher, or I'm afraid you won't be able to carry it."

Nie Xiaoqian showed a puzzled look, it was just a small trick to break the blindness, and she was not a lonely ghost who would disperse when the wind blows, so why can't she bear it?

However, in the short time she spent with Wu Xingzhi, she learned one thing: ask less, answer more, and obey.

So she obediently floated up.

Wu Xingzhi looked up at her, and the skirt of the other party was fluttering in the wind. From his perspective, he could almost see the scenery on the other side's slender legs.

So Wu Xingzhi said, "Fly a little higher."

"...Okay." Nie Xiaoqian curled her lips.

I thought that this senior's heart is as calm as water, and he will not be tempted by himself at all. Did he like this kind of tune?

This... is not impossible.

She flew another ten meters higher, and even quietly controlled the fluttering arc of the skirt to be larger, and then looked down, only to find that the other party had already lowered her head, and did not pay attention to herself at all. Instead, she took a deep breath, and then He clenched his fist cleanly and blasted towards the ground.

The strong wind brought by the exaggerated force made Nie Xiaoqian almost lose her balance, and the hem of her skirt flew upside down, almost covering her eyes, but she no longer had the heart to pay attention to these small problems. The surrounding hundreds of meters were destroyed in an instant, not to mention the dead grass and trees, even the soil was lifted up. Under the soil, the huge black tree roots were smashed into wood residues, revealing

The huge pothole barely stopped until it reached under the wall of the ruined temple.

Wu Xingzhi clapped his hands, straightened up, and tentatively walked a few steps towards the ruined temple. Sure enough, the previous blindfold had disappeared.

Of course it disappeared, not even a single blade of grass within a radius of hundreds of meters.

"Ex, senior?" Nie Xiaoqian stammered, "What are you doing?"

"Get rid of blindness?" Wu Xingzhi said as a matter of course: "It is said that one force can break through ten thousand laws. Since the thousand-year-old tree demon relies on the vegetation that his body has turned into a barrier, then I will destroy everything around me and finish it soon?"

"Tsk, it's a small skill, but that's all."

"..." Nie Xiaoqian didn't know what kind of expression to show for a while, so she could only smile dryly: "Senior's behavior is really unique, Xiaoqian admires it."

It seemed that they were frightened by Wu Xingzhi's blow just now, and the thousand-year-old tree demon did not continue to stop them. Wu Xingzhi and Nie Xiaoqian entered the ruined temple smoothly, and heard a horrified cry from the ruined temple from a distance. A figure hugged his head In a panic, he ran towards the two of them.

"The earth dragon has turned over!"

Wu Xingzhi saw at a glance that this person was the scholar from before, so he said, "What are you doing in such a panic, scholar?"

The scholar raised his head, saw the two people in front of him, and quickly shouted: "Brother Wu, run quickly, the earth dragon turned over, this temple will soon collapse! Come with me to an open place to avoid being crushed in this wilderness, No one will know if he is dead!"

He kept talking, and turned to Nie Xiaoqian, "And this girl too, you—"

His words came to an abrupt end, his movements were frozen as if time was frozen, his eyes stared blankly at Nie Xiaoqian, his Adam's apple twitched: "You...you...I... "

His face turned red in an instant, and he completely forgot about what Dilong turned over, and said involuntarily: "Xiaosheng Ning Caichen, don't you know the girl's name?"

Nie Xiaoqian reflexively wanted to show her previous charming look, but when she thought of Wu Xingzhi standing beside her, she instantly suppressed her impulse, turned her head slightly, and said coldly, "Don't you want to run for your life?"

"The earthquake has stopped. I think the earth dragon has passed by. Xiaosheng was impulsive just now. Please forgive me if I startle the beauty." Ning Caichen bowed deeply and said: "At this critical moment when the earth dragon turned over, unexpectedly Let me meet the girl, what a coincidence? There must be a destiny between you and me."

Seeing that Nie Xiaoqian had no expression on her face, he was not discouraged, and continued: "Girl, although the earth dragon has passed, this place is still dangerous. It is a famous ghost cave. If the girl doesn't dislike it, let's find a place to hide together first." After a while, after dawn, Xiaosheng will escort the girl to a safe place."

"You weak scholar, take care of yourself first." Nie Xiaoqian said mercilessly.

"I...Xiaosheng has always been physically strong, and I have never been invincible in fighting all over the world." Ning Caichen argued in vain: "Probably because of this ghost place, I suddenly became weak. Don't worry, girl. Even so, before Xiaosheng dies, he will absolutely not let the girl get hurt in the slightest, as the saying goes, we can see the truth through adversity, Xiaosheng really wants to get to know the girl, and make a life-and-death friendship."

"Nonsense." Nie Xiaoqian snorted coldly, and was about to refute, when Wu Xingzhi suddenly laughed.

"Friends of life and death? Hahahahaha, you scholar has always used allusions indiscriminately, but this time you really used them appropriately."

Nie Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that she blushed. She didn't dare to lose her temper at Wu Xingzhi, so she could only give Ning Caichen a hard look.

Ning Caichen was a little puzzled, looked at Wu Xingzhi blankly, and said:

"Brother Wu, why are you laughing?"

Chapter 6 Be careful, the big one is coming

"I remember happy things."

Wu Xingzhi suppressed a smile, and turned his eyes around Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen. Nie Xiaoqian was very uncomfortable when he saw him, so he couldn't help saying: "Senior, let's ignore this apprentice, aren't you looking for that Are you old-fashioned?"

"That's right." Wu Xingzhi immediately waved his hand and said, "Scholar, you have nothing to do here, go back and hide by yourself."

Ning Caichen looked at Nie Xiaoqian infatuatedly, and quickly said, "Brother Wu, you're out of touch now. Anyway, we also came to Lanruo Temple together. How can I leave Brother Wu and hide alone?"

He completely forgot the memory that he didn't dare to approach Wu Xingzhi before, and said with a righteous face: "Even if it's a sea of ​​swords and fire, I will advance and retreat with Brother Wu!"

"..."

Wu Xingzhi ignored him, and walked directly towards Yan Chixia's position in the creature location.

Instead, Nie Xiaoqian said: "You can't get involved in the affairs of the seniors, I advise you to stay out of the way, so as not to hurt Chi Yu."

"The girl is really kind-hearted, but don't worry, what Brother Wu can do, Xiaosheng can naturally do, you know, before Brother Wu...Xiaosheng brought Brother Wu here." Ning Cai The minister didn't mind Nie Xiaoqian's tone, and followed with a smile.

Nie Xiaoqian glanced at him and ignored him. The three of them soon came to a dilapidated room with intact doors and windows.

"Mage! Mage!" Before Wu Xingzhi could speak, Ning Caichen stepped forward and shouted, "Sorry for the trouble late at night, Dilong turned around just now, I wonder if Mage is okay?"

"Get out!" came an angry scolding voice from inside the room.

"Okay." Ning Caichen took a few steps back and said to Nie Xiaoqian: "Girl, it seems that the mage has already rested and doesn't want to see anyone, why don't you find a place to settle down with Xiaosheng first, and then come to see the mage at dawn? "

Nie Xiaoqian ignored him and just looked at Wu Xingzhi.

Wu Xingzhi smiled slightly, took a step forward, and pushed towards the wooden door.

"Heaven and Earth are boundless, Qiankun borrows the law!"

A golden light flashed from inside the door, forming a huge spell that directly covered the entire door and window.

Wu Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then heard a voice from inside the door: "The old Taoist looked away before, but he didn't think that the resentment in your body was caused by ghosts, but what kind of skills you practice has nothing to do with the old Tao. I don't think there is anything wrong with you. I have no karma, and I don’t bother to argue with you about good and evil, you and I don’t offend each other, and I don’t want to get involved with the thousand-year-old tree demon!”

Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help taking a few steps back, the golden light emitted from the talisman made her feel uncomfortable all over, and she didn't dare to leave, so she could only hide behind Ning Caichen.
