Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 226
The next morning.

When she woke up, Bai Sanxiu only felt that she slept very soundly last night, the fatigue accumulated for many days disappeared without a trace, and she felt refreshed.As for being still held in Li Guan's arms, he naturally got used to it, as if he was born to do so.

She couldn't help rubbing the chest of the person below her tenderly, but unexpectedly felt the arms around her tighten, as if in an instant, the muscles of someone's whole body tensed.

"do not move."

The solemn voice came from above her head, it was not angry, but it sounded like it came from gritted teeth.

Bai Sanxiu looked up suspiciously, and Li Quan's black eyes were also looking at her without blinking, but their eyes were dark, as if he wanted to suck her in.There are still faint dark circles under his eyes.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" she asked strangely.Usually when handling cases, he just closed his eyes and rested his mind during the night vigil, which has never happened before.

"...Pack up and get ready to go."

Li Quan pushed her away lightly, turned over and got up.

Bai Sanxiu was taken aback by the sudden strange touch, and then she reacted and coughed lightly.

What is this called?
Ask for it.

After breakfast, the two rode into the mountains.Dayue Mountain stretches for nearly a hundred miles, and several peaks rise from the ground, which are extremely dangerous and beautiful.Walking among the cols, turning around a peak, is another world.Back then, if there were no insiders to lead the way, it would have been really difficult to find the home of the Longevity Sect.

Based on his impression, Bai Sanxiu still found the location of the altar.

Zhuangzhou's mountains and rivers are green and beautiful, and there is another feature that every mountain must have a cave.The same is true of Dayue Mountain.The teaching altar and the altar of the Longevity Sect belong to two hilltops, connected by a passage in the middle. According to the inspection, the cave that the main altar rests on is only slightly artificially repaired, and the space and orientation in the cave are basically formed naturally.

At this time, the two stopped at the foot of the mountain where the altar was located, looked up, and saw that the whole mountain was lush and green.But if you look closely, you can find that there are many cliffs and cliffs in the south, but the vegetation is dense and almost all of them are covered.Halfway up the mountain, a protruding stone platform can be vaguely seen, which is about four or five feet high from the ground.

Below the stone platform should be the location of the Shenmu.

It is also the place where Yongling died.

Bai Sanxiu clenched her fists unconsciously, her nails clenched her palms tightly, and her whole body trembled slightly.

At this time, a slender and powerful hand reached out, gently but firmly held her, inserted it between her fingers, and interlocked her fingers.

"I brought wine." Li Quan said, "Don't worry, the rice wine is not intoxicating, it's still a bit sweet, so it won't choke her."

Bai Sanxiu nodded slightly with wet eyes.

Li Quan sprinkled wine to pay homage to his father and Yongling, and the two joined hands to search under the stone platform.It didn't take much effort, and the strangeness was soon discovered.

Not far from the altar, there is a towering giant tree, but it is only speculated.At this time, there were only half of the toppled blackened trunk and a stump in the forest. The diameter of the trunk that two people could hug together showed the size of the tree before it fell down.

"This... is that sacred tree, the prototype of the sacred tree bird pattern?" Bai Sanxiu murmured.

Not to mention Li Quan, she felt a little dazed for a moment.

Naturally, with the death of the Shenmu, there will be no more entangled vines.The mountains and forests are quiet. If it is not an insider, who can imagine that countless lives have been swallowed here, soaked in the fear and blood of the victims?But now, the source of the century-old nightmare of the Longevity Cult, there is only this charred and dry wreck left.

The two detoured to find the main entrance of the teaching altar.Although Bai Sanxiu knew the location of the door opening mechanism and how to activate it, they didn't enter the hole.Because from the appearance, there is no trace of people entering or leaving the place, and it has indeed been sealed for many years.

It is certain that Wujingu did not return to this cave.

Li Quan asked, "Where do you think she might go?"

Bai Sanxiu said: "I don't know, I haven't heard of other strongholds. But I think if she returns to Zhuangzhou, she will still hide in Dayue Mountain."

"Why? The most dangerous place is the safest?"

"Well. And also familiar."

Li Quan smiled.After wandering around in the mountains for a few more times, he reined in the reins and turned the horse's head, leading Bai Sanxiu back to the inn.
