The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 835 True People

When Zhao Chen and Zhong Ying entered the stupa and fought with the monk who was guarding the "Dragon-Subduing Arhat Relics", Theresa, the witch from the West, noticed their actions because she was nearby.

But she quickly withdrew her "gaze".

Because the restrictions of this secret realm on "Dongxuan" level cultivators are greater than she imagined.

This doesn't mean that she can't attack with all her strength, or release her spiritual sense to investigate, but if her movements go slightly beyond the line, it will alert the "enlightened beast" in front of the palace, and then official forces will come to cause trouble.

Although she is not afraid, Theresa does not want to expose herself so early... Who knows how many "Dongxuan" masters are hiding here?

"'Danqing Sword' is actually connected to the killers from 'Yinsi'? I really didn't realize it before... But if they just want to steal the treasures in the city, it doesn't conflict with my goal, so there's no need to pay special attention to them..."

While Theresa was thinking in her heart, she followed the White-Eyed Witch who was "awakened" by her quietly without being noticed by anyone.

——The witch is not only good at "makeup", but also proficient in the art of "invisibility".

The reason why she did this was because the other person's eyes were "connected" to the evil god that the witch once believed in, and if she followed her, she would find his remains sooner or later.

……

In an alley in the south of the city, Mr. Lingyun, dressed as a scholar, was muttering to a dry well and then threw out a metal talisman.

As the talisman exploded silently, light and darkness gathered at the mouth of the well and transformed into a gate as tall as a person.

"Sure enough, it's here. Fairy Qingli didn't lie to me..." Mr. Lingyun was delighted when he saw this, but he did not rush in. Instead, he used various means to verify it first. After confirming that although there were some dangers inside, it did not exceed his ability to deal with, he stepped in.

……

The "Giant Snake Warlock" Moridi, wearing a top hat and holding a cane, came to a two-story building that was tightly sealed.

This is the location of the hotel in Daxia where Zhao Chen and Zhong Ying checked into a room this morning, while in the capital of Liang State, it is the place where the Western treasure "Staff of Ouroboros" is kept.

The "Staff of Ouroboros" is an alchemical creation of the West. Although its power is only comparable to the magical instruments of Daxia, it is an important token related to the treasure of the "Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes".

It was lost during the change of eras. It was only after much inquiry from various sources that Moridi learned that it had fallen into the hands of the King of Liang who was fond of "alchemy" eight thousand years ago.

It can be said that the reason why Moridi agreed to let the Yu family come to this secret realm to fight for the "Yaochi Chess" was not only to repay the other party for their protection, but also out of his own selfish motives.

"If we can retrieve this lost token and return to Tessi to open the treasure of the great 'Snake Mother', we may be able to rebuild the 'Giant Snake Fang' and even take revenge on the 'Medusas'."

Moridi's eyes became more determined, and then he suppressed his excitement and entered the two-story building.

……

Yue Guiyi, the elder of the "Mie Fa Sect", entered a room facing the street and sent a "Return to the Origin Divine Wind" to the young man lying on the bed.

At his level, his control over supernatural powers has reached perfection. He can completely remove certain "dream" powers within the sea of ​​consciousness of others without dissipating their magic power.

Yu Chao, who was still happily gathering with his aunt and sister, suddenly "woke up" and saw a strange room and a strange ceiling. The returning memory and the scene he had just experienced confused him for a long time before he finally figured out what was going on. Then he turned around and saw the middle-aged monk standing by the bed, staring at him.

Yu Chao was startled, but he quickly reacted and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your help, senior, for saving me from the illusion just now."

In fact, he still felt a little regretful in his heart, regretting that he woke up too quickly and was not able to enjoy more of the warmth among his family.

"No need to thank me... I need you to help me do something." Yue Guiyi, who was wearing a purple Taoist robe, waved his hand.

Why do you always ask me to do things recently... Yu Chao looked a little strange, and inexplicably thought of that Mr. Zhao Chen, but he still asked sincerely: "What do you want me to do?"

Could he be undercover on the witch's side as well?
Yue Guiyi, who was always cynical, also stopped smiling at this time. He solemnly took out a box engraved with countless spells, handed it to Yu Chao and said, "After you enter the palace, I want you to put this box in the 'Purple Palace' and open the lid."

"What... is this?" After taking the box in his hand, Yu Chao's consciousness immediately became tense. He intuitively felt that it contained something extremely terrifying. Even his voice began to tremble uncontrollably.

"This is what the witch wants." Yue Guiyi raised his lips again and said in a joking tone, "If you give it to her directly, she might agree to sleep with her for a few days."

How can you be sure that I haven't slept with that witch? Yu Chao pursed his lips, as if he was thinking about something, and then said calmly: "Aren't you afraid that I will really give it to her directly?"

"It doesn't matter. She will get it in the end anyway. Although it's a little troublesome to give it to her in advance, it's not a bad choice for me..." Yue Guiyi shrugged and omitted the following sentence "It may not be the case for Your Majesty."

In other words, it would be better if I were put in the "Purple Palace"? Yu Chao thought for a while and asked again: "Why did you choose me?"

Yue Guiyi raised his eyebrows and said in a non-serious tone: "There are many reasons for this... For example, you are the 'witch's' man on the surface, but you have actually escaped her control and want to take revenge on her.

"For example, if you are a person who is grateful for favors, and I help you, you will definitely not refuse my commission.

"For example, I just scanned with my spiritual sense and happened to find you...

"Of course, the most important thing is that I can use you to cause the least consequences. I can't afford to use anyone else!"

……

On the street in front of the palace gate, a palm-sized puppet hid in a corner, staring at the "enlightened beast" lying on the city gate tower for a long time, as if it was eager to try.

But it ended up doing nothing and retreated back into a nearby house.

"I may not be able to defeat it in a head-on attack... When will King Liang be able to break through the first level?"

……

Zhao Chen and Zhong Ying, who was hiding in his shadow, walked through the streets and alleys. After using some landmarks of the two capitals that were not much different as reference points to identify their location, they finally found the entrance to the "secret passage" that Eunuch Cao had mentioned before.

It turned out to be the backyard wall of a large courtyard.

It looked ordinary, as if it was built with ordinary bricks, no different from other nearby walls.
