Chapter 45: Into the Mountain
Long Yun shook his head, but did not insist, Lao Chu's family is simple, if they refuse their kindness, I am afraid they will regret it for the rest of their lives.
It's just that Long Yun didn't expect that the good fate he formed this time was not over, and at some point in the future, he would get the reward he deserved.
"Okay, Lao Chu, I have received your wishes, although your lady has eliminated the evil qi, but the vitality in her body is missing a lot, after waking up, stew more chicken soup to make up for her body, I still have urgent matters, so I will leave first!" Long Yun said slightly.
Lao Chu didn't do it, stood up and said loudly: "Engong, Lao Chu, I originally promised to take you up the mountain, this time you saved my mother, Lao Chu, I can't repay it, only this little favor can help, how can I let Engong you go up the mountain by yourself? Lao Chu, I will accompany you here!"
Long Yun smiled bitterly: "Lao Chu, you listen to me first, it's not that I won't let you go, although your lady recovers, she will definitely spit out the * in her body after a while, without you, Xuan'er may not be able to cope with it alone, if you are my father, listen to me, the mountain does not turn around, this kindness, sooner or later, there will be a time to pay it back, do you still care about this moment?"
"But... Hearing Long Yun's words, Lao Chu hesitated, if it was really as Long Yun said, then he really couldn't leave.
After thinking for a while, Lao Chu finally said: "Engong, let's do it, you take Xuan'er with you, Xuan'er has been going up the mountain with me to collect firewood since he was a child, and he is also very familiar with the road in the mountains.
Long Yun's eyes fell on Chu Xuan's face, and he found that he was also looking at him with some hope, as if he was looking forward to it, and immediately nodded: "It's okay, just let Xuan'er go with me!"
Long Yun took Chu Xuan, left the Chu family, and walked directly towards Yandang Mountain!
Indeed, as Lao Chu said, Chu Xuan was very familiar with the situation in this mountain, and pointing out Long Yun's direction along the way also made Long Yun suffer a lot of bumps.
"Big brother, are you, like those people, here to hunt spirit beasts?" Walking on the forest path where he couldn't see his fingers, Chu Xuan suddenly asked.
Long Yun nodded, but he was a little confused in his heart, not knowing why Chu Xuan asked like this.
Hearing Long Yun's answer, Chu Xuan's expression became a little lonely, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, Xuan'er begs you one thing, don't hurt them, okay?"
"Oh?" Long Yun smiled slightly, he knew that Chu Xuan was born with a trace of pure Buddha power, so it was normal to have the idea of not killing like Zen Buddhism.
Chu Xuan continued: "They grew up in this mountain, and like us, they love the mountains, they have their own lives, and they never go down the mountain to hurt us, why should we hurt them?"
Long Yun stretched out his hand and rubbed his head twice, and then spoke: "Xuan'er, you are still young, some things are still unclear, I don't hunt demon beasts today, there will also be other people who come to hunt, you can stop me, but you can't stop the world!"
"No, if I grow up, I must stop them from continuing to hunt demon beasts!" Chu Xuan waved his small fist and said firmly.
In an instant, Long Yun was a little distracted, this child of the body of the Xuan Ling, maybe in the future, he could really reverse all this, but everything was a later story.
"Xuan'er, big brother believes that in the future, you will definitely be capable!" I don't know if it was out of encouragement to Chu Xuan, or something else, Long Yun squatted down and hugged Chu Xuan's thin shoulders and said.
Chu Xuan smiled and said: "I know that you are a good person, big brother, although you also want to hunt spirit beasts, but Xuan'er will not hate his brother because of this, it's just that big brother, don't kill them in front of Xuan'er, Xuan'er can't stand it!"
Long Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head, it seems that it is really not a wise choice to bring Chu Xuan out this time!
At this moment, a "squeak" cry came, and immediately, a black shadow in mid-air shot towards Chu Xuan rapidly, making Long Yun's face change instantly!
"Xuan'er be careful!" Long Yun picked up Chu Xuan, and with the other hand, a sword qi shot out!
"Big brother, don't hurt it!" Chu Xuan also seemed to see the appearance of the animal clearly, and suddenly reminded him.
Seeing that Long Yun's sword qi was about to penetrate directly through this small animal, hearing Chu Xuan's words, Long Yun forcibly changed the direction of the sword qi and avoided the animal that looked like an ermine.
"Squeak!" The animal escaped death, jumped to the branch of a big tree in fright, looked at Long Yun and Chu Xuan a little timidly, and kept screaming.
"It's a shadow marten!" Long Yun instantly recognized the animal.
The shadow mink, which belongs to the same mink spirit beast as the ferret replaced by Xiao Leng, is also a spirit beast of the same grade, and its characteristics are known for its speed, but the shadow mink in front of him is still underage.
Otherwise, Long Yun would not have locked on to its figure so easily.
"Xiao Ling, is that you?" Chu Xuan glanced at Long Yun with some caution, and then said to Shadow Mink.
"Squeak!" The shadow marten seemed to understand Chu Xuan's words, and shouted twice.
Chu Xuan smiled: "Brother, it's Xiao Ling, it's my friend!"
Long Yun smiled slightly bitterly and said, "Don't worry, Xuan'er, my brother promised you, he won't hurt it, since you know each other, let him come down!"
Chu Xuan nodded, and said to the shadow mink: "Xiao Ling, do you have something to do with me?" Come down, my brother is not a bad person, he won't hurt you!"
"Whew-" The shadow mink's figure flashed, turned into a black light, and landed on Chu Xuan's shoulder, but a pair of smart little eyes kept spinning on Long Yun's body, and his expression became a little twisted and careful.
Animals have spirits, and spirit beasts like the shadow marten have a lot of intelligence, and from the bottom of their hearts, they can feel the threat that Long Yun brings to it, so even if Chu Xuan says that Long Yun is not a bad person, it still can't hide the fear in its heart.
Chu Xuan's little hand kept rubbing against the satin-like fur of the shadow mink, and he said softly: "Xiao Ling, why did you come out? Didn't you tell you last time, don't you run this way?"
Shadow Marten stood on Chu Xuan's shoulder, a pair of sharp little claws kept gesturing for a long time, his cry was a little hurried, and he stretched out his claws and pointed to the depths of the mountain forest.
Long Yun frowned, although he couldn't understand Shadow Mink's words, but from Shadow Mink's expression and gestures, he roughly understood that something seemed to be happening in the depths of the mountain forest.
"You mean, something happened to them, Da Ling?" Chu Xuan suddenly spoke, and a thick worry flashed in his eyes.
Shadow Marten nodded, tearing Chu Xuan's clothes with his claws, as if to take him with him.
Chu Xuan looked at Long Yun and said slightly apologetically: "Brother, there seems to be an accident on my friend's side, I have to go with him, I'm sorry brother, I can't continue to take you down!"
Long Yun walked in front of Chu Xuan in a few steps, and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, you don't have to say sorry to your brother, this shadow marten is so urgent, it won't be too easy to think about it, I'll accompany you on a trip!"
Chu Xuan raised his head suddenly, and a touch of gratitude emerged: "But brother, you still have your business!"
"You're right, all things have spirits, why did I deprive them of the right to live?" Long Yun stroked Chu Xuan's head dotingly, and said softly.
The shadow marten squeaked, not knowing what it was saying.
Long Yun couldn't help laughing and said, "Little Mink, you lead the way! Xuan'er is just a child, what can I help you? I'm a cultivator, don't you believe me, don't you believe Xuan'er?"
Sure enough, Shadow Marten thought for a moment, and finally nodded heavily, and walked towards the depths of the jungle!
In the old forest of Yandang Mountain, demon beasts emerge in endlessly, and you will encounter demon beasts from time to time, and groups are also common.
But under the leadership of Xiao Mink, Long Yun and Chu Xuan didn't encounter a single demon beast, which made Long Yun feel amazed in his heart.
As a shadow mink, the speed of the little mink was extremely fast, and under its deliberate slowing down, Long Yun and Chu Xuanfang were able to keep up with its pace.
"What a powerful aura!" The deeper he went, Long Yun could clearly feel several powerful auras, and those auras were all demon beasts of the innate realm.
I couldn't help but secretly sigh that if I came in, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come here at all, and I would be devoured by those demon beasts of the innate realm.
After about a stick of incense, the mink's speed gradually slowed down, squeaking, and it seemed very anxious and uneasy.
Long Yun's brows also furrowed, because he found that just a thousand feet away in front of him, a wave of formation fluctuations was transmitted, mixed with the thunderous roar of demon beasts.
