Chapter 104: Uncle

The mass of snow and withered grass exuded the smell of rot. Not too far from them was a well, on which dark green moss had grown. What was scary wasn't the moss, but the fact that there was only a thin layer of snow in the yard despite the heavy snow. The entire yard was covered in mud.

"Did someone clean the yard? Or..." Qing Xu shut his mouth. No matter how he looked at the yard, it didn't seem like it had been cleaned. Rather, it was more like an external force had caused the snow to dissipate. However, he felt no spiritual qi, nor was there any baleful qi or resentment. As long as a life form lived at this place, some qi should have been left behind. It was a very scary thing for there to be no qi.

Qing Xu touched his slightly chilled arm. "We should've brought Elder Chu today."

Chu Yu was naturally sensitive towards the qi of all types of yao cultivators. Even the qi of yao who had taken form through heavenly law could be sensed by him.

"No use. Even if Chu Yu had come, he wouldn't be able to perceive much," Fu Li took out two talismans and passed them to Wei Cang and Qing Xu. "These talismans were gifted to me by my family's elders, they can block one hit."

"What about you?" Wei Cang clutched the talisman. There was a terrifying magic protection formation on this talisman; the individual who made it must have been an exceptionally mighty person. If a life-saving talisman like this were to be auctioned in the cultivation world, there would be a mad scramble among cultivators for it.

The talisman felt slightly heavy in Wei Cang's hands, as if Fu Li had casually thrown him a house in the prime section of the capital's fourth ring.

"I don't need it," Fu Li smiled. Ever since he passed the Nine Hearts' Tribulation, his cultivation could no longer be spoken of in the same vein. He even had a faint feeling that he possessed a certain innate ability.

It was just that this feeling was too vague, as if it was shut behind a locked door.

Fu Li did not forcibly break through this door because no one could be sure what this door hid. He had been living very well these few years and was temporarily not in a hurry to know certain truths.

The withered underbrush moved. Something seemed to have rushed out from inside.

Qing Xu and Wei Cang looked back suddenly, their gazes vigilantly settling on the underbrush. A short while later, an exceedingly obese white rabbit crawled out of the underbrush. This white rabbit wasn't scared despite seeing strangers. It stared foolishly at them for a while before very slowly hopping towards the main door.

The three of them discovered three or four holes the height of ten centimeters at the bottom of the already-peeling main door. They were just nice for the fat rabbit to crawl in and out.

"It seems the great figure of unknown origins inside is very fond of raising rabbits as pets," Qing Xu looked at the holes at the bottom of the door, a good half of the fear in his heart vanishing. A yao who raised rabbits as pets shouldn't have a vicious nature.

Fu Li watched the fat rabbit jump up the stairs and squeeze through a hole in the door. After a few shakes of its short tail, it vanished into the hole.

"Fu ge, are we going in now?" Qing Xu turned towards Fu Li, seeking his opinion. Although Fu Li appeared young in terms of appearance, Qing Xu and Wei Cang were very clear who the true decision-maker was.

"Let's go in and take a look. Follow behind me, don't walk around recklessly no matter what sounds you hear," Fu Li thought about it. "If someone calls you, don't casually reply."

There were all sorts of magic weapons in the yao world, and each had different skills. There were flight magic weapons that had to be stroked three times before it would fly, gourds that would only spit fire after exposure to sunlight, storage magic weapons that could only absorb the other party's body and soul if their name was called out correctly, and so on.
