Chapter 1238: Bamboo and Stairs
Lin Ruoming and Wen Dao looked at each other, and it was a bit difficult to decide for a while.
He wanted to get rid of He Zifeng and Tian Jing in advance. Their Tianyu Sect identities were certainly the key, but in addition to this, he also had other plans.
Among the six people on the scene, he and Wen Dao were even good friends, and they were undoubtedly natural allies.
As for the four people of He Zifeng other than him, because he and Wen Dao concealed it first, the four people basically belonged to the opposite side of the two of them.
In this case, if there was a conflict and a fight, the two of them would be two against four, and they would lose the opportunity to sneak attack, which would undoubtedly be a big loss.
But if He Zifeng and Tian Jing could be eliminated in advance, then only Yu Fei and Duan Niu would be left.
Although these two people were somewhat unfathomable, he and Wen Dao's cultivation was in the late stage of the spiritual life realm after all, and they still had an advantage on the surface. Once they started fighting, they would not suffer any loss.
After thinking about it, Lin Ruoming still did not give up.
"Daoyou Duan, why don't you think about it again? This matter must not be sloppy!"
Duan Qing shook his head firmly.
"Duan insists on his own opinion on this matter."
How could he not see the little tricks in Lin Ruoming's mind, which was exactly why he opposed Lin Ruoming.
Lin Ruoming wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the blue-skirted woman Yu Fei.
"Since Fellow Daoist Duan has said so, let's decide it this way. Fellow Daoist Lin, please don't say anything more!"
Seeing that the most unfathomable Yu Fei spoke up to support Duan Qing, Lin Ruoming could only sigh helplessly and temporarily give up the idea of getting rid of He Zifeng and the others.
Next, He Zifeng and Tian Jing thanked Duan Qing and Yu Fei, and under the supervision of everyone, they successively swore not to disclose anything about Xuansu Cave Mansion.
At this point, Lin Ruoming and Wen Dao had nothing to say, so they had to acquiesce to the existence of He Zifeng and the others, and entered the courtyard behind the gate together.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was the huge purple bamboo in front of them. The bamboo body of the purple bamboo, which was at least a hundred feet wide, almost occupied more than half of the courtyard, making other places look particularly cramped.
Standing in the courtyard, everyone saw that in the direction facing everyone, there was an obvious artificial opening in the section of the purple bamboo closest to the ground.
Looking up, you can see that every section of the purple bamboo has neat small holes like windows, making the whole purple bamboo look like a pagoda.
In the whole courtyard, in addition to the huge purple bamboo, there are sparse normal purple bamboos of different sizes growing on the open space, which seem to be sprouted from the roots of the giant purple bamboo.
Apart from this, there is nothing else in the courtyard, and even the floor is not paved.
Everyone just took a simple look at the situation in the courtyard, and then passed through the normal purple bamboo in the courtyard and came to the bottom of the giant purple bamboo in the center.
In front of the huge purple bamboo, Duan Qing and his group of six were as small as ants.
Looking at the entrance on the purple bamboo in front of them, Lin Ruoming and others looked at each other, and no one took action first.
At the entrance of the purple bamboo, there was obviously no protective means such as forbidden formations.
But the more this is the case, the more abnormal it feels.
Before, it was so difficult to even enter the gate of the courtyard, but now the Purple Bamboo is open for people to enter. It's hard not to arouse suspicion!
The blue-skirted woman Yu Fei glanced at everyone, smiled lightly, and took the lead to step into the Purple Bamboo.
Seeing this, the others no longer hesitated and hurriedly followed the blue-skirted woman into the room.
Seeing the situation inside the Purple Bamboo, everyone was a little surprised.
The space inside the Purple Bamboo was very empty. Except for a spiral staircase in the center leading to the upper floor, there was nothing else.
Empty!
Everyone was surprised and disappointed.
Just as everyone was about to go to the upper floor through the stairs, a playful baby voice suddenly sounded in the tower.
"Hehe, you finally came in!"
Hearing the voice, everyone was surprised and looked around cautiously.
"Don't look for it, Xiaozhu is on the top floor, you can't find Xiaozhu!"
Xiaozhu!
Duan Qing suppressed his surprise and asked in a deep voice: "May I ask if you are the Xuansu Demon King?"
"Xuansu Demon King? Who is that? Xiaozhu doesn't know him. Xiaozhu is Xiaozhu, the one and only Xiaozhu!" The playful voice sounded again, and was very confused about what Duan Qing asked.
Hearing this, Lin Ruoming and others couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
I don't know the Xuansu Demon King!
Could it be... this place is not the Xuansu Demon King's cave!
Unlike Lin Ruoming and others, Duan Qing had no expression on his face and continued to ask: "If you don't know the Xuansu Demon King, why are you here?"
"I don't know, Xiaozhu has been here for a long, long, long time!"
He said three long times in a row, as if he had really stayed here for a long time.
"Xiaozhu is so bored, can you come up and play with Xiaozhu?"
Play with him?
Duan Qing frowned slightly, thinking that the matter was a bit absurd.
Hearing this voice, the person who spoke seemed like a girl whose mind was not yet awakened.
How could such a childish person exist in such a place?
Is this person deliberately teasing them?
Thinking of this, Duan Qing spoke again.
"If you want to play, why don't you come down?"
"Xiaozhu wants to, but Xiaozhu can't come down!" The childish voice was helpless, and even felt like crying.
"Come up and play with Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu is bored to death!"
"Whoever comes up first, Xiaozhu will give all the toys to him."
Duan Qing was stunned, obviously not expecting this person to respond like this.
He wanted to ask for more information, but Lin Ruoming and Wen Dao next to him could not hold back and ran directly to the spiral staircase in the center, trying to get to the upper floor through the stairs in a hurry.
Seeing this, He Zifeng and Tian Jing followed immediately, fearing that they would fall behind and let Lin Ruoming and the others take advantage.
Only Duan Qing and Yu Fei remained where they were, without moving.
Lin Ruoming, who was running in the front, was the first to step onto the stairs.
However, when Lin Ruoming walked up the stairs, a very strange scene happened.
After he walked up the stairs, the original stairs suddenly split into two, and the stairs where Lin Ruoming was suddenly appeared next to him, while the original stairs were still empty.
Wen Dao, who followed closely behind, was startled by the situation, looked at the empty stairs close at hand, and then looked at the stairs where Lin Ruoming was next to him, and was a little confused for a while!
After a moment, Wen Dao decisively gave up the stairs in front of him and ran to the stairs where Lin Ruoming was, wanting to follow Lin Ruoming on the same path.
When Wen Dao stepped onto Lin Ruoming's staircase, something strange happened again!
The moment Wen Dao's fat body stood on Lin Ruoming's staircase, the staircase where Lin Ruoming was suddenly split into two again, and another staircase was separated, separating Wen Dao and Lin Ruoming.
Lin Ruoming and Wen Dao, standing on the two staircases, looked at each other and were speechless for a moment!
