Chapter 11: The Five Spirits
In the middle of the night, the sound of rain is gone, but the slight ticking sound is still real. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was a sudden "cooing" sound in the disciple's room, and the quilt that should have fallen asleep moved.
Su Mufeng pillowed the back of his head with one hand, touched the hungry stomach with the other, and frowned deeply, very unhappy.
Tsk, I have been practicing in the meditation for half a year, but this technique of clearing the valley has never been able to be practiced. The brothers and sisters who started at the same level now have the cultivation of not being able to eat for lunch, but they still can't eat enough every day, and they can't sleep when they are hungry!
Alas, I really have nothing to do with the way of monasticism!
"Gollum~"
Alas! Still called? Call me again that today's Bigu technique is going to fail again!
Su Mufeng simply covered his head with a quilt, and he definitely didn't come out of this quilt today!
"Gollum~"
"Goo~"
"Gollum ~~~~~"
No way!
Even the person belt sat up suddenly, and Su Mufeng opened his eyes very reluctantly, "No...... Absolutely not, can, eat ......"
The moonlight is beautiful, and the smoke and rain are misty.
Standing on the seashore, the East China Sea Mountain has always been a sacred place for people to talk about. Perennial clouds and mist, fairy spirit, at this moment is after the rain, the foothills are yinyin, the grass is fragrant and refreshing.
The wind gently lifts the mist on the mountain, and the outlines of the houses and pavilions gradually appear, and there is a tall long stone standing near the mountain pass, with the words "Five Spirits" written on it.
The feldspar was surrounded by a shimmering light, and the entire top of the mountain was covered with an enchantment, so that ordinary outsiders and demonic things could not enter and exit at will.
There are two halls in the five spirit temples, two side halls, an octagonal spiritual tower stands in the east, the north belongs to the backyard of the five spirit temples, the disciple room, the dining hall and the kitchen are all here, a three-story eaves pavilion in the west, or a collection of books, or refining medicine, the dark green strength is densely surrounded.
The night was dark and cloudy, and everyone in the Wuling audience fell asleep on the couch, only the red lanterns hanging in the corners of the three-story pavilion were still bright. and in the kitchen, where you can't see your fingers, there is a sound of slapping from time to time.
Putting down the lid of the pot with a "bang", Su Mufeng couldn't wait to stuff the food he touched into his mouth, "Hmm! Fortunately, there are still two steamed buns here! ”
"Hee-hee-......" came a girl's laughter at the door.
"Who?!" Su Mufeng grabbed a spatula and threw it over, this is not something to show off, naturally it is not possible to light the lamp, it was pitch black in front of him, he only threw it away, and soon heard the sound of the spatula falling to the ground, and almost scared himself in this empty night.
The other party chuckled again, and said softly as he walked towards him, "Senior Brother Mufeng, others go to the thatched house at night, it's good for you to always come to the kitchen." ”
After swallowing two steamed buns, Su Mufeng only felt that his mouth was dry and his throat was blocked, and he leaned his back against the wall of the stove and said, "Senior Sister Bingxuan? Why are you here too? ”
"Hmph, if I hadn't put two steamed buns here, would you have thought I would have found food during the period of hard practice of the grain opening technique?" Bing Xuan's hands were behind him, and he was quite proud.
Su Mufeng didn't think so, thinking that it was not the first time that he had failed to practice the Gu Reclamation Technique, and he hadn't been able to touch food in the kitchen every time, so why was it that he had been stained with her light this time? "You said you put two steamed buns, so it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you sleeping in the room at the moment, right?"
"You ......" Bing Xuan was speechless, and shouted in his heart Su Mufeng really didn't understand the amorous feelings, people don't sleep at night and squatted here to deliver food, he was good, he didn't pay attention to it at all? ! immediately pouted and was about to leave, "I'm too lazy to tell you!" I'm leaving! ”
"Wait......"
Bingxuan walked to the door, but when she heard Mu Feng suddenly hold her, her heart moved, and she couldn't hide her joy, but she still pretended to be a gesture, "What are you doing?" ”
"Come here."
Bingxuan was even more secretly surprised, arching her waist and taking small steps beside Mu Feng, "What's the matter?" When she got closer, she finally saw Senior Brother Mu Feng's handsome face again, even if a beam of light from the window could only see a pair of his eyes, she also liked the deer in her heart. Su Mufeng, as his name suggests, his eyes and his smile make people feel like the warmth of the spring breeze, white and refreshing, and his temperament is dusty. But because of his good background and solid family background, he was born unconventional, slightly arrogant, and what others pursued was nothing but in his eyes.
"Listen? What was that? Su Mufeng rolled his eyes and pricked up his ears to hold his breath.
Bing Xuan also listened attentively, and there seemed to be a slight muffled sound far away from the house. "I guess it's Senior Brother Haoqian practicing martial arts again."
Su Mufeng jumped out of the door in three steps and two steps, and went around to the back of the kitchen, a strong wind blew in his face, and his crescent-white clothes and headband fluttered in the gloomy night breeze. Right now, the foothills of the sloping mountains are steaming with a blur of water vapor, ethereal and ethereal to connect with the mountains and forests in the distance.
Su Mufeng fixed himself and looked into the distance, and there was indeed a certain range of lightning and wind in the foothills of the mountainside, and the sound was endless, it must be someone who used the spell there.
Bingxuan followed, "What's wrong?" ”
Mu Feng pointed to the distance of the lightning stone fire and was surprised, "That guy is actually mutilating living beings again?" ”
"But...... Senior Brother Mu Feng...... How can you call Senior Brother Haoqian 'that guy'......"
"What's wrong with me just calling him that?" Mu Feng has always been the most disgusted with that vast Qian, who has a very human height, and does what he wants all day long! "It's normal for those demon spirits to surround a place with abundant spiritual power, but he is practicing under the banner of destroying demons, which is extremely cruel!"
"Senior Brother Mu Feng, those are all demons, aren't we cultivating swordsmanship and spells just to destroy them? I think it's understandable for Senior Brother Haoqian to do this...... Ay? Senior Brother Mufeng? Brother Mufeng! ”
Without paying attention, he saw that Su Mufeng had already flown away a few zhang away, and was heading towards the Xiwu Square at the mountain gate.
As soon as he landed in the square, Su Mufeng stood in the wind, his fingertips were sealed, and there were words in his mouth, and he struck a thunderbolt at the commotion in the forest! The smoke suddenly rose from that place, the surprisingly tall figure shook slightly, and a black shadow suddenly flew out, Su Mufeng had already rushed to the outside of the mountain gate, only to hear the terrifying roar from far and near, and rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed! Mu Feng heard that there was a change, and hurriedly summoned a long sword, but he was still startled by the fangs and green face that suddenly showed his true body, and stabbed out a few swords indiscriminately, but he failed to hit the key point of the monster. On the contrary, the monster's big palm was slapped, Mu Feng held the sword against each other, and immediately got the upper hand, it was really not a wise move to fight hard, Mu Feng was annoyed, and the stalemate had been forced to the stone wall, the monster opened his bloody mouth at him, roared angrily, and the sour and rancid smell in his mouth made Mu Feng sick to his stomach.
No way! If you vomit, it's a pity for those two steamed buns!
Seeing that the monster was about to open his mouth, Su Mufeng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and turned the monster against the stone wall on one side.
The stone wall connected to this mountain gate was also the place of enchantment, and the magic power of the seal suddenly made this behemoth, which was much taller than Mu Feng, suffer and roar and wail.
Su Mufeng glared at the monster and gasped, "I'm ...... I know you didn't mean to make a mistake, and if you hadn't been hunted down by a guy who was about your height, you wouldn't have offended me......"
"Hey! Who's there! It's not going to turn out soon! Behind him, there was a vast sound full of energy, and it seemed that it was coming this way.
Mu Feng only glanced back, and then said to the monster again, "Don't resist me, if you have no intention of harming people, I will let you go, you flee to the forest and don't come out again." ”
The monster seemed to understand human speech, and really no longer struggled, but still let out a painful wail, and the mouth of the blood basin opened and closed, and there was a lot less anger in an instant.
Su Mufeng smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as he removed his hand, a long sword grazed his sideburns and pierced into the monster's chest! There was the location of the heart, and the warm blood burst out at once, and Su Mufeng's face was half of his body!
"Su Mufeng?!" The man with a length of nearly two meters leisurely withdrew his long sword, "Why are you again?" Could it be that you just wanted to let it go? ”
"Haoqian......!" Su Mufeng was shocked and angry by the scene of blood splashing just now, and only felt that a breath rushed straight to his head, and it took a long time to squeeze out the words from between his teeth, "You actually killed it!" ”
"It's a demon."
"But it didn't hurt you! It's you who have been struggling to chase it to the end of the road! ”
"If I don't kill it, how do you know that he won't become a monster and cause trouble to the people in the future?"
"But how do you know that they won't cultivate good fruits and become immortal bodies?"
"Ridiculous!" Hao Qian flicked his cuffs angrily, "Su Mufeng, as a cultivator, what are you thinking about all day long?" You've connived at monsters and defended them again and again, and I even doubt that one day you'll come against us for them! ”
"Hehe......" Su Mufeng felt funny, but his face under the moonlight was slightly bleak, "Deal with?" Do we have to be right to deal with them? If you don't take their lives in your eyes for the sake of trial, how can you ever take the virtues of the good life of God in your eyes? ”
"It's all about the virtue of a good life! You lunatic! Hao Qian shook his head, his long sword was in his hand, and he was ready to look back and no longer argue with Su Mufeng. But at the moment when he turned around, the sky was scorching, and before the thunder came out, a purple gas suddenly flashed in front of the two of them.
The purple qi instantly conjured up a small proboscis beast that was startled by the electric light, opened its innocent and panicked eyes, trembled all over, and shrank weakly beside a stone.
Hao Qianda was alert from the moment he saw the purple qi, holding the hilt of the sword, ready to attack, and at this moment he saw the qi turn into a small purple beast, it was the sound of the sword, and he attacked!
"Stop!" Su Mufeng recognized what the little beast was at a glance, and immediately raised his legs and leaped hard, reaching out to intercept it at the moment when Hao Qian took out his sword!
Haoqian broke away from Su Mufeng, "You get out of the way for me!" The sword has no eyes! ”
"It's not a demon!"
"Su Mufeng! You are hopeless! Hao Qian saw that he showed a posture of saving demons again, so he was angry, "If you stop it again, don't blame me for being careless!" Hao Qian made a false move at Su Mufeng, and immediately stabbed at the little beast.
Su Mufeng's cultivation is not as good as Haoqian, and he has never cared about his swordsmanship, he was deceived by Haoqian's tricks, and when he came back to his senses, the purple beast had already shown a sad light in his eyes, and fled in a hurry, and he didn't know if the two of them were blocking the way down the mountain, it actually rushed towards the Five Spirits Temple on the mountain.
Although Haoqian still chased, he thought that there was an enchantment on the mountain that was fatal to the demon after all, and even if it ran to the mountain, it would only end up being a moth to the fire. Then he stopped chasing, and Su Mufeng in the back caught up with him in three or two light strokes, and before the two could speak, they saw that the purple beast actually rushed straight into the Five Spirits Temple unscathed!
Hao Qianwei said, "Oops! This monster can actually break through the barrier! As he spoke, he was about to step forward to kill him, but was stopped by Su Mufeng.
"Haoqian, you can also see it, it can break through the barrier, it is not a demon, but a beast!"
"You say...... Beast? Haoqian seemed to understand something, "What kind of beast is that?" Why have I never seen it? ”
Su Mufeng exhaled lightly, this guy was finally able to listen to him well. He cleared his throat and said, "This purple proboscis beast is actually a tapir referred to in the ancient books. Unlike other beasts, they do not eat grains and meat, but only eat human dreams. ”
"Speaking of tapirs, I've heard some legends. But that's a legend after all, you and I haven't seen it with our own eyes, how can we tell that the one just now is? ”
Su Mufeng scratched his head, "It's strange to say, I heard that this tapir only sneaks out in the silent night, tonight is full of wind and rain, how can there be a tapir, and it is still a young beast......"
"Either way, you have to find it first." Hao Qian looked around, and after only a while, he couldn't find it.
Suddenly, there was a roar in the west, and the two of them were in their hearts!
"Luo Xiang Pavilion!" Unison! The two figures had quickly headed towards the pine forest to the west.
Luoxiang Pavilion is a three-storey attic integrating the collection of books, medicine refining and armory of the Five Spirits, and the purpose of each floor is different - the main medicine on the first floor is called "mountain ghost"; The main weapon of the second layer is called "dust"; The three-storey main collection of books is called "Wu Wei". It is a precious place for the Five Spirits.
The roar just now sounded very bad, as if it came from the Luo Xiang Pavilion.
When the two of them arrived, they saw that the two disciples who were keeping vigil were hurriedly casting spells to extinguish the samadhi true fire on the ground, the pill furnace for refining medicine was dumped on the ground, and the pill that was still being refined rolled out of the furnace.
The night watchman's spells were a drop in the bucket and useless against the samadhi fire in the furnace.
"The true fire of Samadhi must be extinguished with ten thousand years of Xuan Ice!" Su Mufeng said to them.
"What a thousand years of Xuanbing!" Hao Qian raised his hand angrily, and his two fingers shot out an invisible qi, which easily hit the bronze bell on the top of the octagonal psychic tower in the east, making a mixed and powerful sound.
As soon as this sound came out, there was a commotion in the Five Spirits Temple, and it was not only the disciples and masters in the temple who were alarmed, but also the purple beast in the Naluo Elephant Pavilion, the little beast heard the alarm bell, and was first shocked, and then saw the two people standing at the door - one holding a long sword in his hand, and a pair of eyes staring at him like an eagle; The other, half-blooded, was staring at it.
The big teary eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them and the Samadhi True Fire, and the movement in the distance was getting closer and closer, making it even more uneasy. It couldn't find a way to escape, and began to tremble, and shrank as if it had just appeared, which made Su Mufeng look unbearable.
"Haoqian...... Senior brother," Su Mufeng clenched his fists, stiffened, and called the demon-killing guy for the first time to call him Senior Brother, "Please, let it go......"
Hao Qian glared at him back, "Do you know what you're talking about?" Whether it is a beast or a demon has no way to verify, and now it is even more troublesome, look at what it has made this 'mountain ghost' medicine hall look like! ”
"But it's not because of you?!" Su Mufeng couldn't bear it anymore, "It's still a young beast!" You can't do it without permission, at least you should wait for the head and master to decide! ”
As he spoke, a cloud of cold air had flown between the two, and the startled two quickly retreated, and there was a "hiss" in the mountain ghost medicine hall, and the true fire of Samadhi was extinguished, leaving wisps of green smoke in vain.
The disciples who had woken up from their sleep had already arrived one after another, and they all shouted, "The head of the sect is really good! In real people! ”
Su Mufeng and Hao Qianfang saw that the real person in charge of the crane with long hair and white eyebrows had just stopped, and the real person who taught the disciples to learn various Taoism on weekdays was also on the side, and the two of them paced, but they were shocked to hear a wail in the pavilion and the shouts of the disciples who kept vigil, "Don't let it eat!" ”
Hao Qian was the first to react, and an arrow stepped into the pavilion, pointing at the purple beast next to the Dan furnace.
Su Mufeng was worried that the little beast would die here, so he hurriedly rushed in after him, but was stunned by the scene in front of him!
Next to the Dan furnace, where is there still some purple beast! It was actually swelling all over his body, the wails turned into roars, and the teary eyes turned into red eyes, as if they could burst into flames! The baby teeth in the mouth also grew into fangs in an instant! Feeling extremely uncomfortable due to the sudden change in its body, it kept stomping its strong limbs, and the ground hit with a straight sound!
"How...... How did it come to this?! Su Mufeng was stunned.
Wasn't it the same poor lamb to the slaughter? How did it become ten times bigger now...... Beast of prey?!
Hao Qian glanced at the pill underground, "What was originally refined in this furnace?" ”
"Yes...... It is a power-boosting pill that has been developed since last month. One of the disciples of the night vigil replied tremblingly as he drew his sword to confront the mutant purple beast.
A strong palm wind penetrated between Su Mufeng and the others, hitting the purple beast hard. The purple beast lowered its posture, and its roar shook out, confronting the palm wind, although it was barely able to parry!
The real person in charge of the house took one hand behind him, strode into the pavilion, looked at the purple beast, and looked solemn, "This thing is not a demon, nor is it harmless to people's hearts, it is just a dream tapir that steals food in the middle of the night." ”
Su Mufeng's heart lit up, and there was a special feeling in his heart.
My speculation is indeed correct, but I stole food in the middle of the night......
Haoqian hugged his fist at the head of the sect and asked for instructions, "The head of the real person, although this thing is not a demon, but it has forcibly taken the pill of my faction to improve its strength, and even underwent a mutation, since this thing has entered the Five Spirits Concept, how to deal with it, and please ask the head of the real person to mention it." ”
When Su Mufeng heard it, the meaning of these thousands of words was unclear, and he wanted to kill him quickly? "The real person in charge...... Mu Feng thought that he could force the ingredients of the elixir out of the dream tapir's body, and he could restore it to ......"
As soon as these words came out, there was immediately a lot of discussion around.
Hao Qian turned to Mu Feng, "Then may I ask Senior Brother Mu Feng, who will force out the elixir ingredients in his body?" ”
Su Mufeng swept around the crowd, and saw that everyone couldn't even avoid their own gaze, for fear that they would be selected, after all, this was just a bold assumption, and it was still very risky to really face the purple beast with a drastic change in temperament. Su Mufeng didn't have any hope for these brothers who didn't often come and go in the past, and even Bingxuan, who claimed to give him steamed buns to eat, just stood in the crowd and waved at him.
Su Mufeng took a deep breath, "Isn't it just forcing Gong?" I'm enough for myself. ”
