Chapter 14: Night Walking
Li Lun is a casual cultivator.
From a secular point of view, Li Lun is in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, has a wife and children, and works as a small private tutor in Jiankang City, although the monthly silver money is not much, but it is enough for the family's expenses. If this is the case, it will be enough to enjoy the joy of family in a few decades, which is also a good fate.
And the profession of Mr. Teaching, it can be regarded as face-saving when you say it. And what is more face-saving is that his family's ancestral house is in Wuyi Lane, although he is not from the Wang Xie clan, he is immersed in the unusual atmosphere here every day, and Li Lun and his family are stained with some strange bones.
There are probably two kinds of scattered cultivation in the world, one is similar to Guo Pu, who has cultivated to a certain extent in the Daomen, and when he reaches a bottleneck, he simply sways the red dust alone to see if he can form a few fates. Of course, Guo Pu himself is an exception, after all, he was passively expelled from the Daomen.
The second type is like Li Lun, firstly, his qualifications are limited, and his fate with various Taoist sects is also shallow, even if someone leads him in, he can only practice simply in the world.
Such people themselves know what they are capable of. Soaring to immortality is a sweet dream, and it is already very good to be able to prolong life and strengthen the body.
Li Lun has been practicing for 17 years since he was enlightened by a senior at the age of 16. It was two years ago that I was able to enter meditation, and so was the full opening of my spiritual consciousness.
But he didn't feel that his cultivation was slow, and for an ordinary person like him, being able to experience the world of meditation was already extraordinary. After all, they are people rooted in the world, and for people like Li Lun, cultivation is just a way to look up at the starry sky.
Out of reach.
Ever since the opening of his spiritual sense, he could feel something different.
The construction of the huge spirit walls in Jiankang City was astonishing to him, especially the two powerful spirit walls surrounding the palace and Wuyi Lane, like an enchantment, which seemed to be enough to isolate all the ghosts and monsters in the world.
But even so, Li Lun can often feel and even see ghosts and monsters running rampant in Jiankang City. I was also surprised in my heart, obviously ordinary ghosts and monsters would be isolated by the spirit wall outside the city, how did these guys appear?
It's just that he has only been cultivating for a while, and what he knows is really limited. Moreover, there is some cultivation in the air, and there is no Taoism, even if he encounters the ghosts and monsters in the city, he can't do anything to eliminate demons and defend the way.
Fortunately, those ghosts can sense his cultivation, and they will stay away from Li Lun and his family, which is the benefit of cultivating immortals.
It can be seen that bullying the weak and fearing the hard is not unique to human beings.
But tonight, Li Lun obviously felt a little unusual.
He woke up in the middle of the night, looked at his wife sleeping beside him, felt the demonic aura outside, and frowned.
The demonic spirit overflowed in Wuyi Alley, which was a rare thing. But now, this demonic aura not only did not dissipate after it ascended, but even approached his own home, and lingered outside his own door.
The inherent spirit wall in Wuyi Alley was buzzing, and it was obvious that it had sensed the existence of the monster, but there was no further movement.
Li Lun was deeply puzzled, but also a little frightened in his heart. Obviously, this demon qi is very powerful, if this demon beast really wants to be unfavorable to itself, where is there room for resistance......
One breath, two breaths...... Time passed slowly, but the demonic spirit had no intention of leaving.
It's really for me.
Li Lun gritted his teeth, put on his clothes, walked into his small courtyard, looked at the closed gate, felt the richness of the demonic energy, and clenched the talisman paper on his waist.
This is something he bought in his early years to save his life. He usually has a limited income, and there is no special method for cultivating immortals, this town character was bought with private money saved for a whole year, and I am afraid that I will have to use it tonight.
Dig out the rune paper and infuse the aura. The robe on Li Lun's body was windless, even if it was an ordinary little person, his eyes were firm at this time.
The gate did not open, and a figure poked its head out of the courtyard wall.
"Well, excuse me."
The little girl who climbed over the wall seemed to be a little embarrassed, stood in place and straightened her clothes, and saluted Li Lun.
"We don't have any malicious intentions, it's just that we don't know each other well, and we want to inquire where we can get the pill."
The little girl grinned, looked at the rune paper in Li Lun's hand and scratched her head.
"Xiaobai, come out!"
The little girl was naturally Xie Xiaoman, she called Xiaobai's name outside the wall, the abrasive goblin passed through the wall, and was startled after catching a glimpse of the rune paper, and hurriedly hid behind Xie Xiaoman, and secretly tilted her head to look at Li Lun.
"This is only called Xiaobai, it won't hurt anyone, please don't worry about it, sir. Under Xie Xiaoman, it was indeed rude to visit late at night. It's just that the lower spirit root is damaged, and it needs to be recovered with pills as soon as possible, so it is so abrupt, I hope this gentleman will not be surprised. ”
The person who came didn't seem to have any malicious intent, and it was just a little girl who didn't cultivate. As for the other youkai...... It's so good-looking.
Li Lun looked at Xiaobai in a daze for a long time, only then did he realize that his mind seemed to be charmed, and he hurriedly guarded the dantian and breathed a few times before he gradually came back to his senses.
After looking at them a few times with complicated eyes, Li Lun let down a little guard and took down the rune paper in his hand.
Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, and slipped out from behind Xie Xiaoman, looking around curiously at the slightly cramped courtyard.
"Are you, Xie family?" Li Lun was a little surprised when he heard Xie Xiaoman report to his home.
"It's just a side branch." Xie Xiaoman smiled slightly wryly, this identity has brought too many things to himself, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is good or bad.
Li Lun nodded and sensed it with his spiritual sense. He looked at Xie Xiaoman over and over again, and then glanced at Xiao Bai next to him who was sitting on the threshold eating carrots, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "I've been cultivating immortals for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen someone with a damaged spiritual root. Moreover, the rabbit demon is raised as a spirit animal, and it is the first time I have seen it. ”
Xie Xiaoman spread his hands: "Please believe me, these two things are also very magical to me. ”
Li Lun nodded: "Xie Niangzi's adventures are extraordinary, and she will definitely be extraordinary in the future." And you can find me here in this Jiankang City, it is also due to fate, and I will definitely help Li Lun with this favor. ”
"You don't have to be polite, sir, just call me Xiaoman."
Li Lun smiled: "Although I have a little cultivation, but after all, I am a secular person, how dare I trespass on the little lady of the Xie family?" In the end, it's just a title, Xie Niangzi doesn't have to care. ”
He glanced up at the moonlight: "Since Xie Niangzi wants the pill to be used urgently, let's go to the West Market now." ”
