The Disciple’s Diligence Makes the Master Seem Lazy - Chapter 145

[Chapter 145: All Men Are Bad]

Several pairs of white jade hands did not listen to Li Xu’s words, and still held Da’er’s feet tightly, as if warning something.

Li Xu frowned. The things in the Santu River were too weird. It was the first time he saw such a weird creature. It was very magical.

Seeing that the white jade hands still did not let go of Da’er, Li Xu asked:

“Can you tell me the reason?”

The white jade hands seemed to understand, and wrote a line of words on the ground with fingertips:

“Three Life Road, Three Life Flower, Evil Spirit Banquet, Those who enter will die.”

“Thank you for telling me this information.”

Li Xu reached out and gently touched several pairs of white jade hands. They were cold and had no temperature, like cold corpses.

His eyes flashed, and he vaguely saw several corpses underground. Their hair was very long, blocking their faces. They seemed to have no faces.

They did nothing.

He just stretched out his hands to drag Dahu’s legs, not letting her move forward, just like a mother protecting her child, not wanting the child to be in any danger.

Li Xu tried to pry those hands apart, but they gathered together again, trying to drag Dahu’s feet again.

He directly picked up Dahu, and those jade hands turned into sharp claws, wanting to attack Li Xu but not daring to. After a stalemate, he wrote a sentence on the ground:

“Remember to protect her with your life.”

After writing, he rushed into the ground and disappeared.

Dahu saw Li Xu retract his gaze, poked his face, and asked: “Brother, who are you talking to?”

“They should be the most bizarre creatures in the Santu River. They gather the power of the Santu River and transform into human form, exuding maternal care, reminding those who enter to pay attention to safety. It will probably not take long for them to become spirits.” Li Xu said lightly.

“There are such weird things in the world?” Dahu felt incredible, “Did something really drag my feet just now?”

“Yes, it was them.” Li Xu said.

“Why only drag my feet?” Dahu was a little dissatisfied.

“Maybe you are only of the second rank. In their eyes, you are just a child.” Li Xu touched the round face of little Daxu.

Daxu was speechless.

She was already three hundred years old.

She just didn’t grow taller and her realm was a little low.

She was the lowest cultivator among those who entered. She was only of the second rank, which was indeed a little worrying.

She looked at the strange creatures that she could not see and thanked them secretly in her heart.

“Three Life Road, Three Life Flower, Evil Spirit Banquet, those who enter will die, the information is so big.” The little monk murmured.

“Can you see it?” Li Xu looked at him.

Mu Yi said, “I just opened my third eye, and saw several pairs of white jade hands dragging Daxu on the ground, and there were formed human bodies underground, with only hair covering their faces. I could vaguely see that their faces were empty.”

“I once stayed in a temple, and an ancient book once described such strange creatures. They were condensed from the yin energy of heaven and earth and the thoughts of the dead who missed their children.”

“They had no faces in the early days. When they were fully formed and grew faces, this kind of thing was called Mamu.”

“Mamu has the brilliance of human nature, just like a mother. She protects her children and doesn’t let them be in any danger. What they did just now was purely to protect her.”

“Daxu is really lucky. I’m weak too. Why didn’t Mamu protect me.”

“I heard that those who have been touched by Mamu will have good luck.”

Mu Yi said, his eyes lit up, and he quickly ran over to touch Daxu’s feet to try his luck, but was blocked by Li Xu.

Li Xu looked at him and shouted, “Don’t touch me, kid.”

Mu Yishi said, “You are so stingy.”

Li Xu hugged Daxu and didn’t want to argue with him, so he asked, “What do you think of what I said just now?”

Mu Yishi’s expression was serious, “It means that there is a Sansheng flower on the Sansheng Road. There are evil spirits holding a banquet on this road. Anyone who enters this road will die.”

“I also suspect that the evil spirit is also interested in the world’s rare Sansheng flower.” Li Xu took a deep breath.

“I suspect it too.”

“It seems that the people competing for the Sansheng flower include the Demon Cave, the Kingdom of Women, the Sword Pavilion, Miao Dou, the Veiled Mute Girl, and the unidentified brother and sister. Now the evil spirit has to be added. This Sansheng flower is really a hot commodity.” Li Xu suddenly found that more and more powerful people were competing for it, and things were becoming more and more difficult.

“In addition to evil spirits, there are all kinds of terrifying creatures in the Santuo River.”

“I once accidentally crossed the Santuo River and found that it was extremely terrifying.”

“There seemed to be the panting and breathing of some terrifying creatures in the darkness. They were watching my every move from behind. Fortunately, they didn’t attack me.”

Li Xu explained one by one. Thinking about it now, he felt a little creepy, as if he was watching a horror movie.

Mu Yishi was surprised and said, “You also accidentally crossed the Santuo River. What did you do after you entered?”

Li Xu didn’t want to explain, and said, “That’s not the point. The point is that we have to find the Sansheng Road now. Our goal is the Sansheng Flower.”

Mu Yishi nodded: “Okay, I’ll find it right away.”

Li Xu asked, “How are you going to find it?”

“I’m a professional at finding things. I have my own little tricks. Don’t ask me.” Xiao Heshan twisted his Buddhist beads, and his appearance was much calmer.

At first, he thought he had to find the Sansheng Flower by force, but now he knew that the Sansheng Flower was on Sansheng Road.

It would be much easier to narrow the regional gap.

“How sure are you that you can find Sansheng Road?” Li Xu asked, seeing that he was very confident.

Mu Yishi stomped his feet and stamped his chest and said, “Ninety-eight percent.”

Hearing the little monk say ninety-eight percent, Li Xu’s eyes lit up. This little monk is reliable, and the salary he gives is six hundred and three per day.

It’s a blood profit.

He hurriedly urged him to start looking for Sansheng Road Sansheng Flower: “If you can find the Sansheng Flower before them, you will be rewarded with a bonus of five hundred.”

“Okay.”

The little monk was even more powerful, his eyes were moist, and he kept making seals. Various seals flew out and surrounded his side, holding a purple gold bowl in his hand.

Although Li Xu couldn’t understand his operation, he felt that he was very powerful.

This might be a professional.

The little monk seemed to be very powerful and fancy, but after searching for several hours, there was still no clue, and Xiao Da’er fell asleep in his arms.

The little monk became more and more nervous, with dense sweat on his forehead, pale face, and kept muttering: “This is very fantasy.”

“Incredible.” He talked to himself and became nervous.

Seeing that his condition was not good, Li Xu asked: “What’s the matter?”

The little monk said: “This is different from the outside world. I don’t seem to be able to use my methods.”

“Can’t you find it?” Li Xu looked at him.

Mu Yishi blushed, hesitant, and the speed of twisting the Buddhist beads increased. He said awkwardly: “Although I am usually a professional in finding things, this is the first time I have found Sansheng Road Sansheng Flower. Please give me some time.”

“Ninety-eight percent, haha.”

Li Xu looked at him, and he was really arrogant, and said: “Why don’t we spread this news and let them help find it together.”

After all, this is the Santu River, not the outside world, and there must be a big gap with the outside environment. Even if the little monk really has a way to reach the sky, I am afraid it will be difficult to use it.

Mu Yishi said, “Do you plan to cooperate with them?”

“Yes.”

“If we really find the Sansheng Flower, how should we distribute it?” Mu Yishi asked a suffocating question. You can’t divide a flower into several pieces, right?

Li Xu said, “Then it depends on your own means. Whoever has the ability to get the Sansheng Flower will naturally get it. The most important thing now is to find the Sansheng Road.”

“Once you find the Sansheng Road, you will not be far from finding the Sansheng Flower.”

Then, they went all the way.

The little monk followed Li Xu’s method and told the three sons of the Demon Cave, the sword fairy Luo Yabai, the national teacher of the Kingdom of Women, the mute girl and the Miaodou girl about this matter.

Each of their expressions revealed surprise.

Yes.

Li Xu knew that the goal of these people coming in was indeed the Sansheng Flower, which made it much easier. It would be really unreasonable if so many people couldn’t find a road.

They went in different directions, one direction for each faction, and began to look for the Sansheng Road.

Li Xu walked leisurely with Daxu Wang in front, and soon came to a huge river. The river was very calm, the water was deep and black, and you couldn’t see the bottom.

Looking far away, you can see that in the middle or on both sides of the river, there is a towering mountain across the water at a certain distance.

These peaks are always shrouded in mist, and it is difficult to see what is inside at a glance. It feels like there are gods living here.

“Brother, is this the Santuo River?”

Da’er looked at a stone by the river, on which were written three vermilion characters “Santuo River”.

The handwriting looked a little sloppy, but very wild.

Li Xu looked at the dark river water with a calm face: “This river is the Santuo River. It runs across this gloomy and terrifying area and runs through the entire area. The place where we are standing now is just the entrance.”

“I can’t even see the end. This can no longer be considered a river, right?” Little Da’er asked, like an endless sea.

“Its name is Santu River. Legend has it that it is the border between the world of life and the world of death. The environment is particularly terrifying. That’s why it is famous.”

Li Xu continued, “The real horror is inside this river. The last time I came here, I touched a lot of rare treasures in it. The materials for your ring and An Zhiyu’s necklace were all found here.”

“Are there any more in there?” Da’er rubbed her hands and said, she was a little excited.

“I just took a look and didn’t find them. I guess there may be these things in the depths of Santu River.” Li Xu sighed.

“Then when do we set off?” Da’er asked.

“No hurry, wait for them and let them explore the way outside. If they can find the Sansheng Road outside, there is no need to enter the river.” Li Xu looked at the boundless river and said, “There is another problem. Flying is prohibited over the Santu River.”

Da’er looked at Li Xu, “Then don’t we have to swim across?”

Li Xu shook his head and said, “You can swim, but it’s not necessary. You can walk across or sail across.”

Da’er asked, “Do you have a boat?”

Li Xu smiled and said, “I don’t have it, but they must have it. We just need to wait now. If they haven’t found the Sansheng Road, they will definitely go here. If they find it, the little monk will give us the news.”

He was assured that the little monk would do things.

Li Xu felt that he could give him anything in the future. The key was that it was cheap.

He had never seen such cheap labor.

“If we want to get news, we probably have to wait for them for a while. Let’s take a rest first.” Li Xu pulled out a recliner and sat down with his legs crossed.

“Brother, I want to sit too.” Little Da’er looked around, but unfortunately the ground was a little wet and dirty, and she didn’t know where to sit for a while.

“Sit on me.”

“No.”

Little Da’er shook her head. Someone would definitely come over later, and it would be embarrassing for others to see her.

“Tsk.”

Li Xu ignored her, opened his arms, and picked her up.

Da’er struggled, trying to break free from Li Xu’s hand, but because she was too weak, she stopped struggling after a few struggles and let him hold her.

She looked helpless, lying in Li Xu’s arms, looking around, her face flushed, and she said nervously:

“I can only let you hold me for a while, they will definitely come over later, it will be so embarrassing to see them.”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? I’m not afraid.”

“You are so shameless.” A shallow dimple appeared at the corner of Da Xu’s mouth, and she reached out to poke his nose and said, “You are really not shy.”

“What’s the matter…”

Li Xu hugged her in his arms, pressed her head to his face, and kissed her forehead gently.

“Let me go.” Da Xu struggled. She thought Li Xu was just hugging her, but she didn’t expect him to go too far. In broad daylight, he was really bold.

“No.”

“Then don’t kiss me.”

“I’m kissing you.” Li Xu pressed her head and kissed her cheek.

“It will thunder again later.” Da Xu pushed his face away, smiling with a red face.

“It’s okay, it won’t be that serious.” Li Xu didn’t kiss her again, but just held her in his arms, feeling her warmth.

Daxu didn’t say anything, just leaned in his arms, with a bright smile on her lips.

Suddenly, the two felt something, and Daxu quickly jumped out of Li Xu’s arms, her face flushed, because she saw a person suddenly appear on the branch.

“I’m sorry, I came at the wrong time, you continue.” The person who spoke was a woman, who didn’t expect to see this scene.

Li Xu turned his chair and stared at the woman who spoke.

She had an extraordinary appearance, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her figure was graceful, and her curves were full. She stood quietly on the branch, just like a landscape painting, it was really wonderful.

“The National Master of the Kingdom of Women.” Li Xu looked at her, “Why are you alone?”

He remembered that the National Master of the Kingdom of Women was usually followed by several women from the Kingdom of Women.

The daughter country’s national teacher spoke lightly, with a certain arc of smile on her face: “They are all looking for Sansheng Road. I want to come here to the entrance of Santu River to see what’s going on. I’ve never seen it before…”

She glanced at Li Xu for a few times, and then looked at the small, shy Dahu who kept twisting her fingers.

These two siblings are interesting.

However, she didn’t say much, because she didn’t want to talk to any man, always feeling that

none of these men were good. The ancestral motto of the daughter country is: “No man is a good thing.”

If it wasn’t for having to, she really wouldn’t have any verbal communication with any man, always feeling that talking to them would make her feel bad.

“You seem to have something against me?” Li Xu saw her face full of disdain, looked at her, and asked: “Do we have a feud?”

The daughter country’s national teacher glanced at Li Xu, said nothing, folded his hands, like a lonely and proud white swan.

Li Xu was speechless.

Dahu was even more speechless. She came to Li Xu and whispered in her ear: “This sister may be sick.”

“Remove the possibility.”

“Can you speak more quietly? I can hear you.” The State Master of the Kingdom of Women looked at her coldly, then stared at Dahu and said:

“Come with me.”

“Are you talking about me?” Dahu pointed at herself.

“It’s you.”

“What for?”

“Come with me to the grove. I have something to tell you.”
