Start from the thief

Chapter 688 Endless Disaster

It was almost noon. Master Zhang had finished his morning lectures and sword practice and was now meditating and regulating his breathing in the room.

No one dared to disturb the Tianshi when he was meditating, so when he heard someone pushing the door, his first reaction was anger.

The little guys nowadays are so bold. It’s ok for them to disturb me when I’m meditating, but they don’t even inform me or knock on the door. How unruly!

But he immediately realized that it was impossible for anyone to be so bold, and if there was, it must not be a Taoist child.

"It's you!"

"Are you surprised or surprised?"

"Are you also such a worthy person in the academy?"

Zhao Yushu's smile froze on his face. He touched his head awkwardly, trying to find some topic to ease the situation.

"How come you were arrested too?"

Zhang Tianshi's face suddenly fell. Listen, is this human language? Don't you know why I was arrested? Who wrote a letter to beg for permission to come here?

"Oh, I am just not as skilled as others."

Zhang Tianshi sneered.

Zhao Yushu nodded and said, "That's right."

"roll!"

Of course Zhao Yushu would not leave. He came here to save people, so what would it be like if he left?

"So, Mr. Er is next door after all."

"Yes, if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of it. But that person set up a very scary trap next door, and it's still difficult to escape."

After listening to Zhao Yushu's description, Zhang Tianshi sighed slightly: "If it were me, he wouldn't be able to be trapped."

The implication is not that Li Li is not as good as him, but if he were in Li Li's situation, he would not care so much and would just walk out with a swagger. As for whether a few mortals are dead or alive, or whether the so-called ten unknown people are dead or alive, it has nothing to do with me, the Taoist priest, because I didn't kill them.

Even if I killed him, what does it matter?

"I don't quite understand. Senior sister can't leave on your own. Even if you have lost your spiritual power, ordinary mortals can't stop you."

Zhang Tianshi stroked his beard and said, "Let alone ordinary people, even if I am in the third or fourth heaven, I can go wherever I want with just a sword."

You are awesome, you deserve to be in the top five in the world.

So, why don't you leave?

Since it was a matter of life and death, Zhao Yushu naturally would not care too much about Zhang Tianshi's face and asked the question without hesitation.

"I have tried it."

"So what is it that's holding you back?"

"desire."

Zhang Tianshi stood up, waved his hand, and walked out first. Zhao Yushu hurriedly followed.

Walking out of the room and the courtyard, Zhang Tianshi ignored the astonished looks of the Taoist children at Zhao Yushu, a man who appeared out of nowhere, and walked straight forward. The gate was in front of him.

Zhang Tianshi is not leaving.

But he signaled Zhao Yushu to move forward.

Zhao Yushu took a step forward with a suspicious look on his face.

Only took one step.

Then he immediately stepped back.

He knew why Zhang Tianshi couldn't leave.

He also understood why Zhang Tianshi said that it was desire that trapped him.

There were no illusions, no mirages, no traps full of swords and knives ahead, but I had to retreat.

Because after he took that step, his Qi sea began to churn, several of his magic weapons trembled slightly, and his realm showed signs of being unstable.

How many traps did Second Uncle and the Imperial Master set here! ?

"felt it?"

Zhang Tianshi stood beside him and said, "Every step forward will reduce your cultivation. I am sure that if I retreat early and adjust my breath for a while, my cultivation will not be affected. But if I insist on moving forward, I will fall into the outer scene within ten steps, and I will never be able to recover. This is the desire that I cannot get rid of. Do you understand?"

Zhao Yushu nodded. Of course he understood. Cultivators are the darlings of heaven and earth. Those who can open their minds are the best among men. It is even more difficult to cultivate to the inner realm. There are only thirty or forty inner realms in the whole world. Who dares to lower his own cultivation level in order to get out?

Not to mention the interior, even Zhao Yushu didn't dare.

What's more terrifying is that I am trapped here too.

Zhao Yushu didn't believe it. He had Madam Xu, who could completely hide the fluctuations of spiritual power. Could it be that she couldn't hide it from this thing that he didn't know whether it was a formation or a treasure?

So he took another step forward, and in the instant he took that step, he became a mortal.

Then he stepped back again.

It still doesn’t work.

This force actually acts directly on the qi sea.

"Let me touch it."

Zhao Yushu turned around and walked back, sat down under a big tree and started drawing circles on the ground.

"You can't keep the spiritual power in your body, and he stabs you with more than ten swords every day."

Zhang Tianshi casually picked up a cushion and placed it opposite him and sat down: "You should have one more sword than Mr. Er. You have to take another one here."

Zhang Tianshi pointed to his dantian, which was the location of his inner elixir.

"Then why is he okay?"

"Ok?"

Zhao Yushu scratched the ground a few times and said, "Master, suppose I'm fighting with the Little Master right now, and you summon a thunderbolt to strike me from the side, will this thunderbolt only strike me and not the Little Master?"

Zhang Tianshi nodded: "I am still confident that I can control it."

Zhao Yushu's face was dark: "That's not what I meant. I meant that if you don't control it, Lei will be unconscious."

Zhang Tianshi suddenly realized: "I understand what you mean."

"Yes, just like the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, only those with the royal blood of the Li family can be immune. Oh, it's okay, but everyone else will be tricked. So, now at least I have experienced three traps. If they are all treasures, they are three heavenly-grade treasures. But they don't work on him and the national teacher. Do you believe it?"

Zhang Tianshi fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Zhang Tianshi shook his head: "I don't want to believe it, but now, we can't pin our hopes on wishful thinking."

Zhao Yushu nodded in agreement: "You are right. We have no trump card to gamble. We must find out the reason why they are not affected."

"How to find it?"

"What time does he come every day?"

"Come to my place after dinner."

"Then I'll have to have dinner here."

Maybe Zhao Yushu doesn't have to wait until dinner.

The news of his appearance in Zhang Tianshi's courtyard was immediately passed to the National Master via a note. The National Master's face changed uncontrollably, and his eyes subconsciously drifted towards the second uncle, but neither of them spoke.

Because there were two people sitting opposite them.

Li Qi, Ge Lao.

Apart from being a royal relative and an angel, Li Qi is only at the seventh level of heaven, so he is not a concern. However, it is different for Ge Lao who is beside him.

Even if Second Uncle said that this person was not worth mentioning, he was an inner scene after all, and an extremely deep and introverted inner scene.

As an imperial teacher who had been by the emperor's side for twenty years, he could tell at a glance that the other party was the same, even more shrewd than himself.

Force is sometimes not the only criterion for determining victory or defeat, especially when the gap in force is not large enough to ignore strategies.

Mr. Ge kept his head down the whole time. He heard nothing and seemed to see nothing either. But a pause and a turn of the National Master's eyes were enough for him to guess a lot of things.

Mr. Ge's wrinkles became deeper.

He is laughing.
