Chapter 18: The Heart Ape

When Fang Cheng and his group took advantage of the night to go to the horse market to find the carriage.

Lunan welcomed two uninvited guests outside the city.

One of them was a very bright dressed in a red robe, while the other appeared to be her daughter, who looked to be only seven or eight years old, and wore pigtails.

"Mother, I'm sleepy," the little girl walked for most of the night, and at this time she was tired and sleepy, and complained every once in a while.

"Sitong, we will go to Lunan City in front, we will find an inn to rest later. The woman touched her daughter's head helplessly, but there was a little more sadness and excitement in her heart.

The people who were able to walk at night in the wilderness were naturally not ordinary people, and this woman was a casual cultivator in the realm of real people.

But her cultivation is like a lost dog and takes the four seas as her home, all of which started with an accident three years ago.

At that time, she and her husband both broke through the realm of real people, and they were planning to do a big job when they were in high spirits.

But disaster fell from the sky, and the two Ten Thousand Tribulation Grandmasters fought the magic and destroyed half of the city with the magic weapon they smashed down, killing her husband by mistake.

And she and her daughter were shopping for the lantern festival that day, so they happened to escape.

After the mother and daughter were left alone, some of the casual cultivators they had befriended in the past eyed them.

Therefore, she had no choice but to take her daughter away from home to find a pure land without cultivators.

In the past three years, the mother and daughter traveled north and south, and by chance heard that Lunan City had become a forbidden place for monks for some special reason, so she worked hard and came all the way from Nanqingguo.

"Mother, let's not leave in the future, okay?" Li Sitong glanced back at the wilderness behind him, looking a little scared.

"Okay, it's up to you. The woman touched her little head dotingly, her face full of guilt.

It has indeed been a little difficult for this child in the past few years, but if she can live happily and steadily, how can she choose the four seas as her home.

And in the moonlight behind them, three silver-gray giant apes followed not far away.

They seem to have become human, keeping a fixed distance, chasing them unhurriedly.

"Mother, I'm a little cold" Li Sitong suddenly felt a chill to her bones, and she couldn't help but shiver.

"Sitong, we'll be there in a few miles. The woman comforted her and tightened her daughter's padded jacket.

At this time, she was a little nostalgic for the years when she used to travel with a carriage.

In the past few years, they have been on the road almost every day, and it is very difficult to sleep in the open all the way, and if they don't have the cultivation of a real person, they may not be able to walk down.

After another half an hour, after walking out of the jungle and up the hill, the woman finally saw the whole picture of Lunan City in the dark night.

However, at this time, the entire Lunan City was brightly lit, and it looked like daytime.

"Mother, what's going on in this city, is there a festival?" Li Sitong looked at the lights of the hundred schools in surprise.

"Maybe it's a temple fair. The woman was also a little unsure.

In stark contrast to the red lanterns hanging all over the long street, there were not many pedestrians on the bluestone streets, only a few night watchmen and a few young swordsmen in green shirts and white shirts.

"Someone is coming. ”

After Fang Cheng saw the mother and daughter who appeared at the city gate, he stopped.

"Little brother, are you holding a temple fair today?" asked the woman who looked like she was standing for a young age.

When Fang Cheng heard this, he replied solemnly: "Madam, I'm afraid you have come to the wrong place, so it's better to leave as soon as possible." ”

He could see at a glance that this woman had a real-level cultivation, and Lunan City was a place of right and wrong for monks.

"This little brother, what do you say?"

"This place has just been attacked by ghosts, and I can't keep you safe. Fang Cheng explained calmly.

When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but laugh at once, because Fang Cheng and the others looked too young, and although they were from famous families, everyone's cultivation was not high.

"Looks like you can't go. ”

At this time, Fang Cheng and the others suddenly rushed over, and everyone held the hilt of the sword with their hands.

When the woman saw that their expressions had become a little solemn, she turned to look behind her, and saw three silver-gray apes standing not far away, silent like ghosts.

Oh

The giant ape roared and rushed over, they seemed to be reacting too violently to Fang Cheng and the others.

"Little brother, wait!" the woman tried to stop them, but was still half a beat slower.

Fang Cheng's speed was too fast, and he turned into a phantom and rushed in front of the giant ape, his sword light shining like a brilliant firework blooming.

After a sword slashed down on the arm of the giant ape, it immediately made a sound of gold and iron striking.

Fang Cheng felt a majestic Yin Qi attacking, and instantly flicked his sword blade away.

bell

He used the sword technique in the Tianyin Twelve Towers Sword Sutra, and the green steel sword began to vibrate violently under the infusion of true qi, emitting a crisp sword groan.

The sword groaned higher and higher, and soon broke through the eight-story building and headed towards the ninth-story building.

This was already the limit of what he could use, and after the nine layers of amplification, the power of the sword duel had been raised to a terrifying level, and it even triggered the true qi resonance in everyone's body.

Poof

Fang Cheng stabbed out with a sword, and the sharp sword in his hand turned into a white light, which instantly penetrated the body of the giant ape, directly breaking through a large hole half a foot square.

Oh

The giant ape suddenly let out a terrible roar, and the sword qi crisscrossed its body, destroying its body structure.

Black blood fell tricklingly, spilling on the bluestone slabs, emitting clouds of green smoke.

But the others were not so lucky, and the four junior disciples, including Tian An, were directly swept away by the tails that swept across the air, fell far to the ground, and fell into dog-gnawed mud.

"Get out of the way, the sword has no eyes. At this time, the woman also joined the battle group, and she took out a pair of mandarin duck knives from her cuffs.

Hearing this, Fang Cheng stepped back to a safe position and turned his head to look at her.

The giant apes seemed to be human, and when they saw the woman coming again, they retreated one after another, leaping up and down ten feet away.

"Hey, these apes seem to know her. Tian An got up from the ground, rubbed his somewhat sore chest, and leaned over to Fang Cheng's side and said.

"Do you know such a?" Fang Cheng asked.

"Senior brother, these are heart apes, which are generally formed by the long-cherished wishes and grievances of the dead. Tian An explained.

"It turns out that this is the heart ape. Fang Cheng suddenly realized.

Just as every monk of all calamities has his own demons, every true monk also has his own unfulfilled wishes.

"They are supposed to be the relatives of this lady, but what a big resentment. Tian An was a little frightened when he saw that the strength of the three-headed ape was quite good.

"Are you saying that they were transformed by my husband?" the lady listened to Tian An's words and retreated to his side.

"Yes, madam, your husband seems to have unfulfilled wishes. Tian An nodded affirmatively.

She suddenly realized, so she put away the mandarin duck knife in her hand, bowed her head in front of the heart ape and said: "Senior brother, the concubine has arrived in Lunan City, if there is a heavenly reincarnation, I hope that senior brother will take the first step......"

She didn't say the rest of the sentence, but glanced at Li Sitong behind her, and suddenly shed tears, but soon evaporated with her true qi.

The three-headed ape seemed to be very reasonable, and after a few roars, they turned and left, and soon disappeared into the night.
