Chapter 169: Do You Understand Painting?

In the formation, Li Chuyi sneered when he heard the threats from the two men.

When the pursuers first arrived, Li Chuyi was still worried whether the illusion formation could cover them. He and Ziyuan held their weapons tightly and stared at the outside, not daring to breathe. Later, they found that they could not find themselves at all, so they were relieved.

Watching the two monks angrily turning the hills back and forth several times, Li Chuyi, who was watching with relish, thought to himself that if these people were gathered together to plow the fields, I wonder how big a piece of land would be cultivated.

"When I become powerful in the future, I will definitely occupy a large piece of land and let these monks who offended me grow crops, vegetables, chickens and pigs for me every day. At that time, I will bring a Taoist priest to move a recliner every day to bask in the sun and watch them work!"

Thinking happily in his heart, Li Chuyi laughed, and his wretched appearance made Ziyuan frown beside him. I don't know what disease this little fat man has again.

Until the words of Nanli and Xu Qianguan came, Li Chuyi was full of sneers.

He was not afraid of the threats of the two people at all. Not to mention that they could not find him, if there was a chance, he would personally go to repay today's "favor" and let the two families know what the anger of the fat man was.

Li Chuyi, who had been influenced by Taoist priests since childhood and would never give up, completely hated the two families.

Seeing the two monks walking away, Li Chuyi smacked his lips and waved at Ziyuan.

"Let's continue!"

The two continued to explore forward.

Under the eyes of Yin and Yang Taoism, the two people who were on guard encountered various protective prohibitions again, but they also passed them one by one.

I don't know if the person who arranged the formation was kind-hearted. Although this illusion formation had many protective measures, it was mainly entangled. All kinds of prohibitions were intended to entangle the offenders and drag them out of the formation. There were very few killing formations. The most powerful killing formation was just like the grass under the feet turned into sharp blades, so that the monks who were disturbed by the illusion formation were nailed to the spot and could not move after stepping on it, until they bled to death.

The biggest obstacle to the illusion array is the omnipresent illusion, but it is useless under Li Chuyi's Yin-Yang Dao Eye. Zi Yuan's purple death energy can extinguish life, and the protective restrictions mainly based on plants and trees are broken one by one by them, which does not pose much threat to them at all.

They are like the cold wind in late autumn, and everything they pass is withered and yellow. All the plants along the way are withered and turned into flying debris without any vitality.

They broke a passage through a suddenly rising forest, and Li Chuyi and Zi Yuan rushed out, and their eyes suddenly brightened.

On the grass in front of them, a gravel path was paved on it, and along the way, it led to a cave not far away.

The cave entrance was obviously artificially dug, and the two half-moon-shaped wooden doors were half-closed. The Yin-Yang Dao Eye did not see any fluctuations of magic, just two ordinary wooden doors.

"Cave!"

Li Chuyi was full of surprise, and he shook Zi Yuan's hand.

"Cave, Ziyuan! No wonder there is such a big scene at the door, it turns out to cover up the cave in the center! This is the real cave, covered by a big formation, so hidden, the caves allocated to the disciples of Taixu Palace are so weak in comparison! Look at their pomp, wow~!"

Looking at Li Chuyi with admiration on his face, Ziyuan was not happy at all, but looked at the cave in front of him with a vigilant face.

"Don't shout, how do you know there is no one in this cave?"

"Uh..."

Li Chuyi was stunned, and then he remembered the key point. The caves all have owners. They rushed in so rashly, I don't know if the owner of the cave will be angry. Looking at the big scene of the formation at the door, Li Chuyi didn't believe that the owner of this cave was a good person. Don't just escape the pursuit of the two families, but die here inexplicably.

After thinking for a while, Li Chuyi shouted loudly: "Junior Li Chuyi, I was chased all the way here this time, and I rushed into your house to hide. I hope you won't blame me!"

The voice echoed around and spread far into the cave. After waiting for a long time, no one answered.

With a frown, Li Chuyi repeated it again in a louder voice, but after waiting for a long time, no one answered.

"It should be that there is no one, or they are out, otherwise they would not see us break into the formation without stopping, nor would they not respond to my shouting." Li Chuyi guessed.

Zi Yuan nodded, her expression slightly relaxed but still secretly on guard.

"What should we do, should we go out?"

After thinking for a while, Li Chuyi said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the door first."

When he came close to the door, looking at the thick dust on the wooden door, Li Chuyi's expression was happy.

"With such thick dust, no one must have come for a long time!"

Zi Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Thinking of this empty cave, Li Chuyi's saliva was flowing.

Every child has a dream of treasure hunting, not to mention monks. In order to find opportunities and cultivation resources, monks spare no effort to explore various strange and dangerous places, as well as the secret caves left by their predecessors.

Monks are omnipresent in treasure hunting, and the most ruthless ones even dig up people's ancestral graves. Encountering such an empty cave is simply a great opportunity, just like a delicious cake, which makes people drool.

When he was a child, every time he heard the Taoist priest tell him the story of monks' treasure hunting, Li Chuyi was always full of envy. At this time, he encountered such an uninhabited cave, and he finally had the opportunity to fulfill his wish.

Especially seeing the thick layer of dust on the door, it was obvious that no one had been here for a long time. Thinking that this cave might have never been visited by anyone since its owner, Li Chuyi's eyes were filled with a faint green light, and he was so excited that he didn't even feel the weakness in his body.

Under Ziyuan's speechless eyes, Li Chuyi wiped his saliva without caring, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the wooden door.

His force was very light, but the wooden door had been there for who knows how long. It seemed intact, but it had already decayed. When he pushed it, it collapsed with a "puff" sound and scattered into wood chips on the ground.

Li Chuyi was startled, looking at Ziyuan's "murderer" expression, and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Don't want me, it's this door that's rotten!"

He explained, ignored Ziyuan's weird eyes, and stepped into the dark cave.

Yin Yang Dao At this moment, although the dark cave in his eyes could not be said to be as bright as day, he could see things clearly.

Not far away, a square stone protruded from the smooth wall, engraved with several runes.

After thinking about it, Li Chuyi stretched out his hand and pressed it on it. With a slight push of the magic power in his palm, the square stone suddenly lit up with a ball of white light. The white light extended along the wall to the entire cave, and the soft light sprinkled down, making the cave bright.

"Awesome! This is where the monks should live!"

Li Chuyi was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. He finally saw the "real cave" mentioned in the book. He was so excited that his whole body trembled. Zi Yuan rubbed his forehead when he saw his useless appearance.

He scanned the cave carefully several times with a pair of thief eyes. After confirming that there was nothing unusual in the cave, Li Chuyi smiled triumphantly and strode in.

The area of ​​the cave was very large. The hall at the entrance alone was dozens of feet in size. There were cushions scattered around. Facing the central wall of the door, an incense table was placed against the wall, with incense burners and candles on it. Several plates for offerings were placed on the left and right. The offerings inside had been placed for an unknown period of time and had long turned into black dregs.

On the wall close to the incense table, a portrait was hung in the middle. The person in the painting was a middle-aged man. He was dressed as a scholar and only showed a side profile. He looked deeply at the cumulus clouds in the sky. Without any large-scale rendering, just a few simple strokes, the man's charm is portrayed very vividly, and people can feel the man's mood at the time at a glance, which is a kind of loneliness, and contains a trace of anxiety and helplessness.

I don't know who painted the portrait, even Li Chuyi, who doesn't understand painting, knows that the painter is not simple. Not only that, the materials used to make the portrait are also not simple.

No one has been here for a long time, even the incense table and the utensils for placing tributes have revealed a sense of oldness, and it looks gray and full of traces of time, but this portrait is brand new, the bright colors are as if they were just completed not long ago, and the brush and ink on the picture are even bright as if they are not dry, and they seem to be dripping in a trance.

Walking closer, Li Chuyi looked up and carefully examined the portrait, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Ziyuan, do you know painting?"

Ziyuan was stunned, looking at him with some doubts, not understanding what he meant, but saw that the seriousness on Li Chuyi's chubby face gradually turned into vulgarity, and he grinned and laughed foolishly.

"Ziyuan, look at this painting. It's still so new after so long. It must be a treasure. Look at how superb the painting skills are. Although I don't understand it, the one who can paint people like real people must be a great painter! How much do you think such a painting can be sold if it is taken out?"

As he said, ignoring the weirdness on Ziyuan's face, he changed his mind and spat lightly.

"Puh, phuh, phuh, what money, this is a painting of a cultivator, and the painter may be a cultivator. This is to be exchanged for spiritual stones! Such a treasure can be exchanged for at least a hundred or eighty spiritual stones, right? Hahahahaha!"

The more he thought about it, the hotter and hotter he was. Li Chuyi, who felt that he was going to get rich, couldn't help laughing wildly. The laughter echoed back and forth in the cave, and Ziyuan on the side couldn't help turning his head away.

She didn't dare look at him again, for she was afraid that she would not be able to help herself and slap this money-obsessed fat man to death.

I don't know if it was angered by Li Chuyi's words, the ink on the portrait trembled slightly, making the middle-aged man they formed seem to live for a moment, especially the deep eyes, which seemed to glance at Li Chuyi who was laughing wildly.

Snap!

A force came from nowhere and hit his face, and the defenseless Li Chuyi flew away. Zi Yuan's heart shuddered and she quickly dodged and blocked Li Chuyi who fell to the ground, scanning the surroundings with a vigilant face.

He got up in a hurry, and the place on his face that was hit was numb. After the numbness passed, waves of piercing pain came, as if countless needles were constantly poking his face. Li Chuyi stretched out his hand to rub it, but as soon as he touched it lightly, he felt that his face was painful and it was about to fall off, so he quickly withdrew his hand in fear. He wanted to blow it again, but the place where he was hit was on his face, and he couldn't blow his cheek even if he twisted his mouth.

Neither rubbing nor blowing worked. Li Chuyi froze in place for a moment, tears streaming down his face.
