Chapter 3 What Does a Demon Look Like?
It's obviously a dead vine and an old tree, why is it full of branches and leaves as soon as you open your eyes?
It's certainly not an eye problem, then there's only one possibility - it's already in a dream.
Lu Ren frowned slightly, the system task is to survive here for a year, and the name of the mission is 'Demon Invasion', all of which shows that it seems that it is not a simple matter to survive.
The walls of the courtyard were mottled, the dilapidated water tanks were rolling crookedly in the corners, the wooden men who practiced martial arts were cut off, and the axes for chopping wood were stained with blood, and the blood stains were dragged down the bluestone steps to the outside of the gate.
"Where did the blood come from?"
Unlessβ
Lu Ren's heart chuckled.
He hurriedly rushed out of the door, and along both sides of the courtyard wall, rows of neat graves, and the graves that smelled of blood appeared in front of him.
He gasped.
On the two graves in the first row are wooden tombstones, which read: The Tomb of Senior Brother Zhang Yuanshan and Wang Zhangshi.
"Dead, the demon invasion is over?"
Lu Ren recalled the BGM before entering the dream realm, he was a survivor of the Sword Washing Pavilion, and his task was to survive under the blockade of the demon clan for a year, that is, the invasion of the demon clan was likely to have come to an end, but the demon clan did not give up the blockade of the neighborhood.
So, they just like that, all dead?
Only yourself?
After a while, he said weakly: "Senior brother, this is all set up by the dog system, and it has nothing to do with me." β
With such a large area of tombs, I'm afraid that all the disciples of the entire Xiaozhu Peak are buried here, right?
Wrong!
Lu Ren suddenly remembered that he also had a companion, Lin Xuewei.
Where is she?
She's definitely alive!
She is a disciple of Longquan Peak, as long as she finds Longquan Peak, she will definitely be able to find her.
It's just that where is Longquan Peak???
......
Lu Ren is only a disciple of the outer sect, and he usually doesn't pay much attention to the situation in the sect, and he has never been to Longquan Peak on duty, so he doesn't even know where Longquan Peak is, and how do he know where to look for her?
"Anyway, let's find food first. β
Since you want to survive for a year, it is natural to have something to eat.
There's no need to worry about finding food, it's definitely in the dining room.
The dining room was halfway up the mountain, and it was only a few minutes' walk on weekdays, but this time he walked cautiously for a quarter of an hour.
He wasn't sure if there were any demons on the mountain.
It was silent, not even a birdsong, except for the occasional gasp of breath he held his breath.
The silence made him panic.
Even if you know that this is a dream, you still feel that this oppressive atmosphere is really palpitating.
He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it through the courtyard wall into the courtyard of the dining room.
The stone fell to the ground with a "bang".
He hid behind a tree and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in the dining room.
After a while, until he was sure that there was no sound in the dining room, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked in.
The dining room was empty.
Wooden tables and stools are scattered throughout the room, and green lights flicker, illuminating every corner of the room.
Courtyard, tomb, dining room, Lu Ren's heart has been hairy all the way. This is not at all the same task he expected, he originally thought that since it was an invasion of the demon clan, it would always be the same brother and the same enemy who kept the demon clan out, and he only needed to save his life under the protection of the master, but the current situation was completely unexpected by him.
The system, what does it look like, what does it look like!
"Let's think about how to get through this year safely. β
Lu Ren rubbed his face vigorously and forced himself to calm down.
He knew that there was a hidden cellar in the dining room, which stored a lot of rice and noodles, and the amount of rice and noodles should be enough to eat for more than a year, and he also found some cured meat, and the bottles and jars scattered in the dining room also contained a lot of condiments, although the iron pot was a little deflated, but fortunately it could still be used, and the only thing he regretted was that the cured meat was a little less, estimated to be only enough to eat for ten days and half a month.
Once you've made sure you don't starve to death for food, the next step is to find a source of water.
The outer disciples usually fetch water by the small river behind the mountain, that is, the place where Lu Ren fell into the water, and they have to walk many times every day to fetch water, and they are also familiar with the road.
The water is crystal clear, and the fish writhe happily in the water.
The fish is still alive, indicating that the water can be drunk.
The water and food are ready, all that remains is to find a suitable place to live.
The dining room is located halfway up the mountain, the terrain is dangerous, and there is a cellar for hiding, which is a good choice.
The wind blows the leaves and falls, silently.
His deep eyes looked into the distance along the river, and he muttered in a low voice: A year, should it last so long!
......
It took Lu Ren a long time, and he was finally able to determine that there was really no one on the mountain.
Neither did the demon.
Lin Xuewei was nowhere to be found.
He was a little apprehensive in his heart, thinking that if he really couldn't touch anyone in this year's time, no one talked, no one chatted, and he didn't know if he would be suffocated.
At this time, it was still early, so he sat down cross-legged and practiced the 'Pure Heart Technique'.
At this time, if he doesn't find something to do, he will probably not be able to withstand it.
True Qi entered his body, and his troubled thoughts gradually disappeared, and Lu Ren felt the meridians in his body filled with True Qi, and the feeling of trembling in the meridians came, which seemed to be a little more violent than before.
He practiced the 'Breeze Sword' again, and the sword light flickered, but it also looked similar.
It's just that I don't know if the true qi still exists after waking up from the dream?
"Uh...... You should remember......"
Since the system has said that cultivation can be achieved in the dream realm, it is very likely that the results of cultivation in the dream realm can also be brought back to reality.
In any case, try anyway.
His gaze grew firm.
......
The sky is dark, and the sun is setting in the west.
Lu Ren felt that the Five Organs Temple was a little empty.
He thought for a moment and climbed up to the roof with a few stools.
He couldn't be sure if the demon clan was nearby, and if the smoke in the chimney attracted the attention of the demon clan, wouldn't it be a blockage for himself?
He shoved a stool into the chimney and pasted it with a basin of mud.
"The mason's craft is self-taught. He laughed slightly self-deprecatingly.
Close all the doors and windows of the dining room, and finish a meal at a very fast speed, a pot of porridge, and a plate of cured meat. After cooking, the food is brought into the courtyard, and then the doors and windows of the dining room are opened with a small gap to let the smell of oil smoke slowly drift out.
He drank porridge and ate cured meat, calculating in his heart how he would live the rest of his life.
Rice and noodles are stored for a long time, but meat is more troublesome. You can't just live on these cured meats, even if the cured meat is left out for a while, it will spoil, and you always have to find a way to supplement some meat ingredients.
The fish in the river are good.
You can't always eat fish, no matter how delicious the fish is, you will vomit if you eat it for a month.
There are some rabbits and roe deer in the forest of the library, and catching a few once in a while can improve the diet.
It is also necessary to lay down mechanisms on the necessary roads around the dining room, so that if there is really a demon clan coming, you can also have time to react.
What else needs to be done?
He took a sip of the porridge gently, but stopped halfway through the drink,
A somewhat serious question suddenly occurred to him: What the fuck does a demon look like?
