Chapter 31: The Man with the Lantern
Shen Xianxun sat quietly in the room, and there was still a period of time before it got dark, and he drew a teleportation talisman.
Close the doors and windows tightly, make sure that there is no one around, dig a hole under the bed, and put the teleportation charm in the formation arranged in the hole.
Keep one hand in everything, in case you can't fight anything, at least you can ensure that you can get out of the way.
Fill it back in with the dirt, clean it up, sit on the bed and breathe, and wait quietly for dark.
As night falls,
The aunt brought dinner to Shen Xianxun as agreed, and told her to close the door and leave after resting early.
Shen Xianxun put the food on the table and did not move the chopsticks.
Two hours later, a slight crunch sounded.
Shen Xianxun got up and jumped to the window and opened a small slit.
Across the windowsill, a middle-aged man, carrying a lantern made of red paper, walked over with a smile on his face.
The middle-aged man was very happy, muttering as he walked that this kind of good thing was finally his turn.
Turn the corner and walk to the back door of the village, dancing as you go.
Shen Xianxun softly pushed open another window, and a volley jumped silently on the roof, closing the window by the way.
Tiptoeing up and down the roof, following closely the man with the lantern.
The whole village was surprisingly strange at night, it was not too late tomorrow, there was not a single lamp, and no one made a sound, as if no one lived.
The middle-aged man walked out of the entrance of the village, carrying a lantern and looking left and right in the direction.
"Go up the hill at the back door of the village. The middle-aged man muttered to himself.
After speaking, he walked towards the mountain with the lantern, and the weeds and muddy along the way did not go around, and stepped on it directly.
"............" Shen Xianxun stared at the middle-aged man's back suspiciously, didn't think much about it, and followed with a restrained breath.
When you practice to the martial spirit realm, you can float on the water, and flying on the grass is as simple as eating and drinking, and it is easy to come by.
"Strange... How do I feel that someone is following?" the middle-aged man walked to the foot of the mountain, a gust of cold wind blew to the back of his neck, and he turned to look.
It's empty, not to mention human figures, there are no beasts and small things.
"Self-proclaimed!" the middle-aged man laughed at himself.
Shen Xianxun hid on the branches and gently brushed away the dense leaves.
The mountain on which the middle-aged man climbed was full of large trees that covered the sky, and the dense foliage and branches blocked the moonlight, and it was pitch black inside, and only the light of the red lantern could be faintly seen.
However, this bit of darkness still can't make it difficult for him in the Martial Spirit Realm, and Shen Xianxun can see it more clearly without the help of a lantern than ordinary people carrying a lantern.
Jumping off the branch, Shen Xianxun swept across the grass silently and quickly like a black shadow.
The middle-aged man struggled to shuttle through the mountains and forests, and the red light from the lantern set off the surroundings even more strangely.
I don't know how long I walked with the lantern, and a cat meow startled him.
"Should...... This should be the case. "According to the village guide, go up the hill and keep walking, and you can only stop when you hear a cat barking, and the cat barking indicates that it is nearby.
The middle-aged man said that he was not afraid of being false, he really wanted to go back, but when he thought that he could cultivate, he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and craned his neck to look around for the ancestral grave.
"Meow!" The tanuki jumped into the open space in front of the middle-aged man, looked at him humanely, wagged his tail, and walked towards a path.
"This ........." The middle-aged man shuddered and gritted his teeth and followed.
Shen Xianxun watched quietly and followed quietly.
"A mountain spirit who has just entered the cultivation is interesting. ”
The middle-aged man followed the tanuki's footsteps, the tanuki walked faster and faster, and the middle-aged man couldn't care about looking at the road, so he followed with all his strength.
Walked nearly half a column of incense.
The tanuki barked strangely and jumped into the bushes to the side.
"This ........." The middle-aged man looked nervous, and carried a lantern around in a panic.
Suddenly, a stone monument behind him emitted a golden light that soared into the sky.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then turned his head in surprise.
A grave wrapped in golden light, and the handwriting on the tombstone emits a dazzling golden light.
The middle-aged man hurriedly threw the lantern aside and kowtowed to the ground.
"The ancestors are above, and the kid is on the orders of the village chief to receive the fairy root. ”
At the same time as the middle-aged man kowtowed, a fairy-like old man slowly descended from a high place.
"Get up. Suspended a foot above the ground, the old man waved his hand.
"Are you ready to receive the Immortal Root?"
"Quasi-...... You ready. The middle-aged man said excitedly, his ten fingers grasping the ground, trembling slightly.
"Good. The old man slowly floated towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked up at the old man.
Amiable, with a smile like an old father.
"........." Shen Xianxun hid in a high place, frowning slightly, "Let me see who you are." ”
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and silently recited a meditation mantra in his heart.
"Open!" Shen Xianxun suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were covered with a stream of ice-blue water.
The scene has completely changed,
The ancestral tomb with golden light turned into a dry mound, and the woods around Shen Xianxun also disappeared, with only a few dead trees.
Where did the ancestral grave come from? This is clearly a mass grave!
Looking at the "old fairy," the tanuki, which had always been the size of an adult, stood up like a human and approached the middle-aged man with a smile.
"The demon beasts in the mountains have gone the evil way, relying on sucking the flesh and blood essence of the living, and the old monk before is in tune, but the cultivation is much worse. ”
The cat demon walked in front of the middle-aged man, pressed the middle-aged man's shoulder, bared his fangs and gritted it.
"Ah......h
"Heavenly Sword Technique!" Shen Xianxun pinched his fingers, and a crystal clear Han sword fell from the cat demon's hair.
The cat demon noticed the sound of breaking wind overhead, and jumped backwards with a meow.
As soon as he landed, a Han sword appeared where the cat demon was standing before, and the sword body sank three inches into the ground, crystal clear, and a faint white spiritual power floated out.
The humanized expression on the cat demon's face appeared as a human being was unhappy.
Before the cat demon could look around, there was another sound of breaking the air overhead.
The cat demon jumped backwards on its knees.
A crystal clear Han sword fell again, cutting a dead branch on the ground, and sank into the ground with a click.
The cat demon kept jumping backwards to dodge, and as soon as he dodged, a sword was inserted where he was lying on his stomach before.
Four crystal clear swords in a row forced it back to a distance of ten meters.
"Ah...... You...... What the hell are you!" The middle-aged man regained consciousness when he was bitten, but at that time he could only feel a cloud of stuff holding him, and his neck hurt.
At this time, the cat demon stayed away from him, allowing him to see the appearance of the cat demon clearly, and immediately covered his bleeding neck and screamed.
"This is what you call an ancestor, Sengen. Shen Xianxun walked up to the middle-aged man and joked.
"No...... It's not so, it's ...... It's a youkai...... No...... It's not ......" The middle-aged man panicked, and the sudden drop made him difficult to accept.
"........." Shen Xianxun didn't bother to explain to him, looked at the cat demon with a fierce face, and said.
"Demon beast cultivation, it is difficult to produce spiritual wisdom, you evil animal demon spirit realm has spiritual wisdom, you don't know how to practice well, you have to suck the flesh and blood essence of living people. ”
"Stinky boy, nosy. The cat demon spat out and said fiercely.
After speaking, the claws waved, and the sharp claws popped out from the fingertips, and the sharp claws were as long as the fingers of adults, and the scalp of the person watching them was numb.
"Ah......" The middle-aged man was too frightened, his neck was crooked, and he fell to the ground and passed out.
The cat demon waved its long sharp claws and attacked Shen Xianxun.
"Tiangang Mantra!" Shen Xianxun closed the middle finger of the index finger of his right hand, the little finger of the ring finger was bent, the thumb pressed on the first knuckle of the ring finger, pinched out the sword finger, and shouted.
