Volume 1 Pangea Chapter 57 Barren Mountain Meets Monk

Hearing Yuan Jing's question, Hu Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Jing, do you remember Li Zhong?"

As soon as he heard the name Li Zhong, Yuan Jing's eyes lit up and said, "That's right! He once said that he was appointed by Yue Qingshan to monitor the head of the Yue family. Yue Qingshan had been missing for more than two years, but he had given such an order to his loyal servant, and it seemed that he had a plot against the head of the Yue family. In this case, he will definitely return to Jiangyan City!"

"That's right! Yue Qingshan is a person who plans and then acts, since he has already given an order to Li Zhong, I'm afraid it's almost time for him to come back......"

Yuan Jingden remembered the incident of Lincheng, if she hadn't met Hu Lin, she didn't know how long she would have to wait to discover Yue Qingshan's true face. Thinking of Yue Qingshan's hypocrisy and the city government, Yuan Jing instantly felt that Hu Lin's words were very reasonable. According to Li Zhong, Yue Qingshan had been contacting him for more than two months. If Li Zhong did a good job, Yue Qingshan would probably return to Jiangyan City in the near future.

Thinking about these things, Yuan Jing said to Hu Lin, "Brother Lin, what do you say Yue Qingshan will do when he returns to Jiangyan City, and where will he go?"

Hu Lin rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Yue Qingshan must know the secret of the Yue family's ancestral land, because he is the heir of the family head before Yue Mingshan, and he definitely didn't come back because of this matter." Since he has the Devouring Demon Sutra in his hand, this time he should have something to do with the Devouring Demon Qi in the Yue family's ancestral land, but why did he let Li Zhong observe the Yue family's master?"

Yuan Jing also fell into thought when she heard this, and after a while, she seemed to think of something, and said, "I have always felt that Yue Qingshan is very ambitious, could he be trying to become the head of the family?"

Hu Lin shook his head and said, "Probably not...... Yue Qingshan has been getting the Devouring Demon Sutra for a long time, but he has not cultivated, so there should be some lack of conditions. Lin Cheng's sudden disappearance should have gained something from me, so he has the conditions to cultivate the Demon Sutra. And this matter can't be known to the people of the Yue family, so he hid and practiced demonic skills. Even if Yue Qingshan was extremely talented, it was impossible for him to surpass the head of the Yue family after only two years of cultivation. But why would he risk coming back?"

Yuan Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Could it be that Yue Qingshan's cultivation has encountered a bottleneck and needs the help of devouring demonic qi." There is no demon seed in his body, and he can't directly absorb and devour demon qi like Brother Lin, so he needs some special methods to absorb it. And the current head of the Yue family is likely to be the key, so he will venture back to Jiangyan City......"

After Yuan Jing's reminder, Hu Lin seemed to have figured out the middle joint, and finally opened his tightly locked brows and said, "Hmm...... Your speculation is very reasonable! Looking at it this way, Yue Qingshan will definitely go to the ancestral land of the Yue family in the barren mountains. So when is he going?" After speaking, he quickly took out the communication crystal, sent a quick message, and put it on the table to wait for a reply.

After a while, the communication crystal lit up again, Hu Lin picked it up and looked at the information inside, and said with a smile, "Half a month later, the Yue family will worship their ancestors, and all the family members in Lincheng will gather in the ancestral land. It seems that Yue Qingshan is really coming back soon......" After speaking, he picked up the sword on the table. Yuan Jing looked at him with interest.

Hu Lin stroked the bright silver sword with his hand, and used his spiritual power to make a tentative effort. He wanted to know what kind of material this sword was made of, and it could withstand devouring demonic energy. After observation, Hu Lin was pleasantly surprised to find that the body of this sword was actually forged from solid wall kryptonite. This material is derived from extraterrestrial meteorites, which can effectively conduct and store energy, and is not only hard in appearance but also very resistant to corrosion. This discovery made Hu Lin very happy, and he couldn't help but sigh that the Yue family's hands were full of treasures.

But when his spiritual power swept over the hilt of the sword, he suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! There is something strange in this hilt!"

This sudden cry startled Yuan Jing, and she hurriedly asked, "Brother Lin, what's wrong?"

Hu Lin handed the long sword in his hand to her, pointed to the gem on the hilt of the sword, and said in a deep voice, "There are strange things here, you use your spiritual power to probe it." ”

When Yuan Jing heard this, he immediately covered the gem with his spiritual power, frowned, and said, "It seems that this sword is also a great treasure in the Yue family, otherwise it would not have left this kind of tracking mark in the gem." Brother Lin, I need your help to inject spiritual power into my hands!" After speaking, Yuan Jing held Hu Lin with his right hand, and put his sword finger on the gem of the hilt with his left hand.

Hu Lin dared to slack off, and hurriedly poured all his spiritual power into Yuan Jing's right hand. After a moment, Yuan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully observed the hilt of the sword, before whispering, "Fortunately, I know how to erase this mark, otherwise we would have to discard this sword......"

Hu Lin looked at Yuan Jing gratefully and said, "Xiao Jing, thank you...... Yue Mingshan has been dead for so long, even if the people of the Yue family have not come to Dongpeng Town, I am afraid that it will not be far from here. It seems that we have to leave here immediately, and when we get to Jiangyan City, you go to Liufu to find Yue'er, and I will go to the Great Wilderness Mountain......"

Yuan Jing shook her head and said, "No, I'm going to follow Brother Lin...... The Yue family's ancestral land is too dangerous, plus Yue Qingshan, I really don't worry about you going alone......"

Seeing the firmness in her eyes, Hu Lin wanted to say something to dissuade but couldn't, so he nodded and said, "Okay...... You can follow me, but you have to listen to me. When you encounter danger, I will let you go, and you must leave without looking back!"

When Yuan Jing heard this, she felt an indescribable joy in her heart for some reason, so she smiled and said, "Well!

Taking advantage of the night, the two jumped out of the window and left the inn, and when they got out of Dongpeng Town, they got into a dense forest and ran in the direction of the Great Wilderness Mountain.

As soon as he entered the dense forest, Hu Lin noticed that there were five dark shadows running towards him not far ahead. He immediately grabbed Yuan Jing and made a silent gesture to push her into a bush. The long stick in his hand flashed out and rushed straight towards the five figures.

The five black shadows immediately dispersed when they saw Hu Lin attacking, forming a strange formation, and they didn't seem to have the intention of looking for Yuan Jing. One of them shouted, "Are you from Dongpeng Town?"

As soon as he saw the long sword in the man's hand, Hu Lin knew that it was from their Yue family, and he beat him without saying a word. Seeing this, the five people hurriedly attacked in groups, and the weapons in their hands attacked Hu Lin's vital point, the angle was very tricky, and the tricks were also very ruthless, at first glance, they were dead soldiers trained by special means.

Hu Linyun easily dodged their attacks with the pace he used when he fought against Yue Mingshan, but he didn't have a chance to fight back effectively. Seeing that the five of them were clinging to the combined attack formation, Hu Lin knew that he couldn't entangle with them for too long, so he gave up his defense and picked up the long stick in his hand to attack the five recklessly. Unexpectedly, this helpless move actually worked, and the formation of the five people began to be chaotic, and they were forced together by Hu Lin.

Just as the five of them got together, Hu Lin's body suddenly flashed with white light, and then a burst of pink mist enveloped the five people. The fog cleared, and the eyes of the five black shadows all lost their light. Hu Lin raised his long stick and directly beat the five people to death, and dragged Yuan Jing away without cleaning up the battlefield.

At this moment, the sound of things breaking came from the dim room in Yue's mansion. An old slave knelt tremblingly in front of the bookcase, holding five empty Demon Soul Crystals in his hands.

"Good thief! Not only did he break my tracking mark, but he also killed five secret guards! Send an order, dispatch all the secret guards, and turn all the villages and towns in the east of Jiangyan City to the bottom for me! Say whatever you say, you must catch this thief who killed Mingshan!"

"Obey the order of the head of the house!" After speaking, the old slave who was kneeling on the ground wanted to get up and leave.

"Wait! Tomorrow, we will send some guards to inspect the periphery of the Great Wilderness Mountain, and report back immediately if anyone enters...... Remember, let them all change into civilian clothes!" After speaking, he sat down on the chair and began to look at Yue Qingshan's Demon Soul Crystal.

Speaking of Hu Lin, after he rushed out of the dense forest with Yuan Jing, he asked Yuan Jing to put on a mask, and he returned to his original appearance. The two of them no longer ran wildly, but cautiously moved in the direction of the Great Wilderness Mountain.

When the sky was just dawning, Hu Lin and Yuan Jing finally came to the periphery of the Great Wilderness Mountain. To his surprise, at the entrance to the Great Wilderness Mountain, he saw a figure and walked over with a puzzled expression.

After seeing the figure clearly, Hu Lin joked, "I'll go, it's really you stinky monk! What's the matter, the monk is short of money now, and he wants to make a living in this way?"

The monk clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha...... The little monk is not here to make a living, but to wait for the two benefactors...... This is not a place to talk, let's go into the mountains quickly to find a secret place and then talk in detail......" After speaking, he ignored Hu Lin's reaction and walked straight towards the depths of the Great Wilderness Mountain.

When the sun was about to rise, Hu Lin and the three of them found a hidden cave far away from the ancestral land of the Yue family and walked in.

The three of them sat down, and Hu Lin spoke first, "Stinky monk, why didn't you come to this barren mountain if you didn't inquire about the news around Yue's mansion......

The monk smiled slightly, and said, "The little monk just found out some news, saying that the Yue family sent a lot of people to inspect the barren mountains. This is just a round with the two donors, presumably the two will not leave the little monk......"

Hu Lin scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "It seems that the monk is also a smart person, but how did you guess that we would come here?" Hearing Hu Lin's words, Yuan Jing also looked at him curiously.

"Hehehe...... This evening, I learned about Yue Mingshan's death from the people of Yue's mansion, and I knew that it was Hu Shizhu's doing. The Yue family sent a lot of people to look for Hu Shizhu, and at this moment, the donor sent me a message, asking if the Yue family has any collective activities recently, coupled with the Yue family's actions, the little monk guessed that you would come to the Great Wilderness Mountain......"

Yuan Jing smiled and said, "I didn't expect the master to be a delicate person. When the master came here, wouldn't he also be interested in the ancestral land of the Yue family......

"Amitabha...... The little monk heard that Hu Shizhu said that there was information about devouring the demon ancestor in the ancestral land of the Yue family, so he wanted to feel and see it himself, and take this opportunity to learn more about the demon seed, so as to relieve the interference of the demon seed in his heart to the little monk......"

When Yuan Jing heard this, she said in surprise, "The master also has a demon seed?" and then looked at Hu Lin, who cast an apologetic look at her.

As soon as the monk looked at Yuan Jing's expression, he knew that Hu Lin had not told Yuan Jing about him. So he said, "Amitabha...... Thank you Hu Shi for keeping the little monk a secret! Here's the thing......" The monk told Yuan Jing in detail about the demon seed in his heart.

Yuan Jing fell into deep thought after listening, she didn't blame Hu Lin, on the contrary, she glanced at Hu Li in her heart.

Hu Lin didn't disturb Yuan Jing's contemplation, and said to the endless monk, "Stinky monk, this time it's not a joke. I have to wait until the Yue family worships their ancestors and enter the Yue family's ancestral land, and I can't imagine what will happen at that time. I think you should not join in the fun, how good it is to chant the Buddha with peace of mind......"

The endless monk shook his head and said, "Master Hu doesn't need to persuade him, the little monk knows that the donor's trip is for Yue Qingshan." The things he knows are equally important to the little monk, so the little monk can't fly ......."

"This ......"
