Chapter 618 The evil spirit is actually me?
"The thin monk who passed by just now seems to be not the first time he has appeared near the cave."
Lu Xuan glanced at the gray eyes drilled out of the palm of his hand and frowned slightly.
More than ten days had passed since he met Shen Mingcheng and his entourage. During this period, he had kept the Void Nightmare Eye outside the cave, and from time to time used the vision it shared to monitor the movements around the cave.
In his mind, this was not the first time that the short monk who had just passed by had appeared outside the cave. Every time, he passed by the cave a few miles away.
"When things go wrong, there must be a monster."
"Is this a stepping stone?"
"He just stepped on something tough. He shouldn't have expected that a spiritual planter has such a top-notch reconnaissance treasure as the Void Nightmare Eye."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan's mouth, and he thought secretly in his heart.
"Spy on me, but you don't know that I can clearly see every move you make."
…
As night fell, a black figure slowly emerged from the shadows, staring intently at the cave ahead.
"A spiritual planter who occupies such a large cave must be extremely wealthy."
Peng Qi thought secretly in his heart.
After hearing that evil spirits were causing trouble in Thunder Star Cave, he was extremely panicked at first, but after not encountering evil spirits and cultivators for a long time, he suddenly became more excited because he had a lot of robbery experience.
His lease in Thunder Star Cave was about to expire, so he decided to do something big before leaving, rob a monk's cave, disguise it as a scene of evil and chaos, and then leave without a trace.
As for the monks who occasionally patrol the Tianxing Cave, it is not a big problem for him. After all, the Thunder Star Cave covers a vast area and there are countless thunders raging. The patrol guards cannot cover everything and can only do a superficial job.
Therefore, after he learned about the behavior of the patrolling monks, he chose the cave where Lu Xuan was.
For this reason, he also specifically found out that Lu Xuan was just a spiritual planter in the late stage of foundation building. There were a large number of spiritual plants in the cave, and he was not good at fighting. He had little contact with the outside world. Even if he died, it would probably take some time for someone to tell him. aware.
Peng Qi himself has an extremely powerful concealment technique, and with the fourth-grade forbidden talisman in his hand, he can easily break through the fourth-grade and lower formations, enter the cave without anyone noticing, kill people, seize treasures, and escape from afar. Thousands of miles.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lick his lips, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, he silently came to the edge of the cave and took out a talisman with mysterious patterns from his storage bag.
"It's a pity that this precious forbidden talisman must be used."
A thought of regret flashed through his mind, and a faint spiritual light emerged from the forbidden talisman in his hand.
The formation in front of him changed quietly, and he allowed the Forbidden Breaking Talisman to lead him into the formation.
As soon as he entered the formation, he didn't go through the formation as smoothly as he imagined. There was a buzzing sound in his ears.
Dozens of golden bugs rushed towards him at high speed. Each bug had a sharp blade-like horn on its head, and its whole body looked like it was made of fine gold.
"What kind of formation is this? The forbidden talisman didn't have much effect."
He sensed something was wrong, but before he could think about it, numerous bugs attacked him from all directions.
The insect's body is extremely hard, and even a fourth-grade magic weapon can only leave shallow traces.
Peng Qi consumed less than half of his spiritual energy before he managed to eliminate all the golden bugs with great effort.
Just as his heart relaxed a little, the spiritual energy in the formation changed. One by one, ferocious tall trees emerged from the ground, waving tentacle-like green and black branches with an earthy smell, and swiped towards him fiercely.
After that, the phantoms of various five-element spiritual beasts appeared one after another, attacking him in turn.
"This is the fifth-grade formation!"
Feeling that there was not much spiritual energy left in his body, Peng Qi finally realized the horror of the formation in front of him.
"Fellow Taoist, I accidentally broke into the formation. I would like to ask you, fellow Taoist, to put a lot of them on the next horse."
He fell to his knees with a plop.
While begging for mercy from the monks who might be behind the formation, he slowly retreated, planning to wait for an opportunity to escape.
Amidst the rustling, a strange figure appeared in the distance of the formation.
Peng Qi was happy at first, but after seeing the figure clearly, he felt horrified.
The figure turned out to be a strange-looking straw puppet.
The limbs are slender, and a huge head made of gray grass has a large, deformed tumor on it. The gray-black body is wrapped with four strange vines, and arrows of different sizes stand on each vine, making the grass The human puppet looks like a hedgehog.
"What do you call fellow Taoist?"
Peng Qi shrank his head, with a flattering smile on his face, and several talismans slipped quietly from his sleeves.
The straw puppet didn't respond at all, but stared at the monk with empty eyes.
Immediately, a vine on his arm suddenly straightened out, and many arrows were pointed at Peng Qi.
The spiritual power of many arrows flashed across like meteors, rushing in front of Peng Qi in an instant.
He deliberately avoided it, but the speed of the arrow was too fast, and the spiritual energy in his body had been completely consumed by the impact of the Five Elements Spiritual Beast just now.
The entire body was instantly penetrated by numerous arrows and turned into a sieve.
A green light flashed out of his head and rushed outside the Five Elements of Disillusionment Array at lightning speed.
Not even ten feet after rushing out, the green light involuntarily returned the way it came and entered an evil lantern with a handle of white bones and a cover of human skin.
The last scene that appeared in Peng Qi's consciousness was a handsome young man slowly walking out of the formation and gently picking up the lantern.
Before he could beg for mercy, he was engulfed by the endless resentful souls in the lantern, and instantly lost his self-awareness.
"Young monk, you still dare to try to attack my cave. It's ridiculous."
Lu Xuan picked up the soul-inducing lamp with a natural movement and raised the corners of his mouth.
A rogue cultivator with perfect foundation building could easily kill him with just the Five Elements of Disillusionment Formation and the Grass Puppet with four arrow vines in hand, without the need for him to take action himself.
"Well done."
Lu Xuan passed a thought of appreciation to the grass puppet.
"Guard the spiritual field!"
Hearing this, the Grass Puppet held up four thick and ferocious arrow vines and returned to the spiritual field with a relaxed pace.
Lu Xuan came to the corpse of the monk who invaded the cave, first put away the monk's storage bag, and then divided the corpse into pieces with great skill.
Essence, blood, muscles, bones, and previous souls are all broken down clearly and processed in one go.
"The corpses of the monks who have perfected the foundation will be blessed by those evil spiritual plants in the spiritual field."
Lu Xuan sighed involuntarily while decomposing the corpse.
After finishing everything, looking at the remaining flesh and blood on the ground, he suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar.
"What did Fellow Daoist Lei say last time?"
"The evil spirit that invaded the monk's cave was extremely cruel. The whereabouts of the monk's soul were unknown, leaving only some flesh foam."
"It's so similar..."
"The evil spirit is actually me??"
A ridiculous thought flashed through Lu Xuan's mind.
