Fairy Jingzhen's reputation for kindness was something Liu Xiaolou heard mentioned by his teacher Mr. Sanxuan back then. So when he heard that A-Zhen was taken away by Jingzhen to practice, he was both envious and happy for A-Zhen's good luck.
Therefore, he guessed that Jingzhen would probably release the thief after reprimanding him, so he waited under Xiu Foot of the Mountain, and sure enough he found the thief.
After following the thief for seven or eight miles, when the thief rested in a forest, Liu Xiaolou quietly approached, and saw that the thief was venting his anger on the trees and weeds around him, and then spat on the ground. He spat and cursed, "I have been in the world for how many years. Do you need a bitch like you to teach me how to behave? If I have a life as good as yours, where I can eat well and drink spicy food all day long, I will also be a good person..."
While he was cursing, he suddenly became alert and shouted to his left, "Who is it?"
Liu Xiaolou walked out slowly, walked up to the thief and stared at him, half-smiling but not smiling.
The thief immediately recognized Liu Xiaolou who had taken hold of him yesterday, but was knocked unconscious twice by A Zhen. He did not know the name of Liu Xiaolou, but Liu Xiaolou easily captured him. This level of cultivation was definitely something that even he could not catch up with, so he quickly put on a smiling face and said, "This master, what are your instructions for following this villain?"
Liu Xiaolou held his hands and looked at him for a moment, which made him feel scared, and then Youyou said, "Fairy Jingzhen is kind-hearted and compassionate, and everyone in Jingxiang knows that, so you can use some words to fool her. Even if she sees through, it doesn't matter, she will let you go."
The thief laughed and said, "What did you say? What did you hide? Hehe..."
Liu Xiaolou continued, "But there is something I must tell you clearly. I am not as easy to fool as Fairy Jingzhen. I have to know what I want to know. So I have a question, and I have to answer it honestly. If I am not satisfied with your answer, I will lose my temper. If I lose my temper once, you will lose one finger. Do you understand?"
The thief's eyes were flickering, but he still had a smile on his face, "How dare you hide it from your Majesty? If your Majesty has anything that you don't understand, I will definitely tell you everything!"
Liu Xiaolou said, "That's good. By the way, before asking, I have something to tell you. I'm from Wulong Mountain."
The thief's expression suddenly changed.
Liu Xiaolou repeated it again, "You may have heard of Wulong Mountain from Xiangxi."
Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on the thief's forehead.
Liu Xiaolou finally started to ask, "Listen, I'm only going to ask you this once, starting from your left thumb, and see if you can keep this finger... Why did you steal Fairy Jingzhen's piece of Sect Master token? I'll count three. If you haven't answered after counting, haha..."
"I..."
"Three, two, one!"
"Someone offered five spiritual stones, and he also told me the location of Sect Master token..."
Seeing Liu Xiaolou frowning, the thief immediately added, "It's He Taichang from Miaofeng Mountain! Does your Majesty know about Miaofeng Mountain? Miaofeng Mountain in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains in the southwest. Miaofeng Mountain has become more and more famous in recent years. If you go to the southwest, you will know."
Seeing Liu Xiaolou's brows tightening, the thief felt a chill rising in his heart, and added again, "The villain's nickname is Feng Buji, and he is best at Sleight of Hand's ways. He Taichang had dealt with the villain ten years ago, and knew his abilities, so he went to find the villain's door... I really don't know what the use of this wooden sign is, but please forgive me for being a loyal person! By the way, He Taichang is waiting at the villain's house. If you want to see him, I am willing to lead the way! This guy is at the eighth level. Although he is superb, he is definitely not on par with you. I can help you, hold this guy, and force him to spit out the purpose of the wooden sign..."
Just as he was frothing at the mouth, this Feng Buji was actually foaming at the mouth of Chuyi, but he didn't realize it. "Damn it, He Taichang, in fact, I have... looked at him a long time ago... no..."
I couldn't say the next word.
Liu Xiaolou immediately woke up and jumped back more than two feet. After realizing that there was no danger around him, he quickly returned to Feng Buji, grabbed his wrist, and sent his true energy to detoxify him.
Unfortunately, it was too late. In this very short period of time, Feng Buji died of poison!
Who gave the poison?
Liu Xiaolou felt a chill down his spine for a moment. He hesitated for a while and quickly left the place without looking back. He walked faster and faster, making a big circle and returned to Nameless Mountain in the middle of the night. He watched the way he came from on the cliff again and waited for two full hours. After making sure that no one was following him, he returned to the cave.
The breathing and breathing sounds of Tan Bazhang and Fang Buai were still steady, and everything was as usual, with no changes.
For several days, Liu Xiaolou has been thinking about this matter, but he only knows too little information and can't figure out any useful clues. I wanted to go back to the woods to check the scene where Feng Buji died due to poisoning, but I couldn't muster the courage.
Since he didn't have the courage to go back and find out, he forced himself not to think too much and immersed himself in practice again.
Another two months have passed, and the four acupuncture points of Qiangu, Houxi, Carpal Bone, and Yanggu have been opened one after another, and the progress of practice has been steadily advancing.
On this day, when I was attacking Yanglao Acupoint, I heard constant noises in the inner cave, like mice gnawing. I quickly got up and went inside to check, but it was the critical moment for Tan Bazhang to break through. The back molars kept chewing and grinding, and my face was dripping with sweat.
Two months ago, Liu Xiaolou had just experienced this level. He knew the dangers inside and did not dare to delay. He pointed his finger at the center of Tan Bazhang's eyebrows, which is where the "Heavenly Court" is opened.
A stream of true energy was sent into it, traveling up and down Meridians, stabilizing Tan Bazhang Lingtai Qingming.
At a certain moment after such a day, the atmosphere in the cave suddenly changed, and there was a sense of solemnity and indescribable highness, which made people feel excited.
Tan Bazhang opened his eyes, vomited Chuyi Turbid Qi, then laughed loudly, and was then covered by Liu Xiaolou and dragged out of the cave.
"If you want to laugh, just laugh outside. Don't disturb Xiaofang."
"Hahahaha... forget it, it's so boring. You stopped me like this, and I lost my smile!"
"Congratulations to Brother Bazhang for breaking through to the late stage!"
"It's easy to say, thank you Xiaolou for being here to protect you! Xiaolou, you have to work hard and try to catch up with me as soon as possible. When you break through, I will protect you!"
"That's no need. Chieftain Zuo has already protected me, just two months ago."
"Ah, Xiaolou you... are actually on the eighth floor too..."
As he was talking, someone suddenly went up the mountain and said from afar, "It's also the eighth floor? Eight Palms has broken through? Congratulations!"
Liu Xiaolou responded, "Chieftain Zuo is back? How was this trip Chicheng Mountain?"
Tan Bazhang was stunned. "Chieftain Zuo went to Chicheng Mountain? When did it happen?"
Zuo Gaofeng shook his head. "It's hard to say... Chicheng Mountain There is no Foundation Establishment Pill in the hidden city, but there is a news, Xiaolou, let's go back."
Liu Xiaolou asked, "Tianmu Mountain, are you slacking off again?"
Zuo Gaofeng said, "I heard a piece of news. Tianmu Mountain has refined another Foundation Establishment Pill. Originally, I wanted to add another disciple to the inner sect, but I heard that this Foundation Establishment Pill was stolen again!"
Liu Xiaolou quickly asked, "Is the news correct?"
