Chapter 19 Good birds choose trees to perch on
The back hill of the temple is very empty, only the stone path winds and turns, and it extends from the front hall to here.
The surrounding woods do not grow here, and the edges of the trees form a very regular semicircle around the surrounding area. However, it does not appear to be human, as there is no sign of any deforestation in the entire forest.
It seems that the environment of this area here in the back mountain is not suitable for their growth.
Hot, extreme heat.
Mo Chen could probably know why, because when he walked here, he felt as if he was gradually approaching some steelmaking furnace in use.
The air is filled with some kind of heat radiation, and the more you move forward, the more you will feel unbearable heat, both physically and psychologically...... It doesn't seem to be simply hot, it's terrifyingly destructive.
The environment of the surrounding area is indeed quite strange and strange, the moisture in the air is almost evaporated, and the powerful heat is unscrupulously eroding all the vitality in this spatial area.
"This mountain...... Is it an active volcano? ”
Mo Chen looked at the black cave in front of him, even if he knew that there was something sealed inside, he still couldn't help but be amazed, he wondered if it was a lava lake connected to the crater.
After all, isn't it normal for people to subconsciously associate such an environment with that direction?
Who would associate the main reason for this with a horse?
"This is it, when the old monk tried his best to force the demon horse Yanhoof into the cave, limiting its speed......"
The old monk of Shenquan, who led the way, stopped before he came to the black pressure back mountain cave, and sighed softly, but he still had a serious expression, as if his face had been stiffened and solidified.
He looked at the cave behind the black hole in front of him and said with general feeling.
"Otherwise, the old monk would not have been able to seal it. As for its owner, the Inferno Ghost, I have sealed it in another place......"
"But I don't need to talk about it, old monk, since you are ready to subdue the flame hoof, then it will definitely take the initiative to take you to the purgatory ghost after it gets out of trouble. Because you must kill the Inferno Ghost to become its new master......"
Speaking of this, the old monk turned around and stared at Mo Chen with bright eyes on his thin face-
"As the donor said, it is indeed impossible for the old monk to stop you...... Rather than wait until I die and Flame Hoof falls into the hands of other evil monsters or humans, I should choose to believe what the donor says, and only hope that the donor will keep your promise. ”
If you don't believe it, there is no way, he is actually not so easy to be convinced, but although what the other party said is ugly, it is indeed the truth.
The old monk, who is already quite old, really doesn't have a few years to live, and the so-called "virtuous monks" are still human beings after all, and birth, old age, sickness and death are the most natural.
It's like this, if the other party wants to come hard, not to mention whether the old monk can desperately defeat this unfathomable opponent, even if he wins, he will die in a few years.
After that, who else will be able to guard this temple and continue to guard the seal of the demon horse Yanhoof?
Even if this young man is gone, there will definitely be other youkai who will hear about it......
In the final analysis, what the other party said was indeed true, and the existence of the seal itself was used to break it.
The old monk of Shenquan thought to himself that he had no way to stop it, so he could only choose to compromise.
"Don't worry."
Mo Chen just nodded, and then without any hesitation, he waved his hand and strode towards the black pressure cave, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
"Alas......"
The old monk sighed again, but he didn't say anything more, just stood still and silently recited the scriptures, waiting quietly.
It didn't take long for him to suddenly feel the mountains under his feet suddenly shake. Immediately afterward, the heat radiating from the cave became even more terrifying.
But it was only a matter of moments, and the intense heat suddenly disappeared, as if the "heat source" itself controlled it, causing the heat to converge back.
After a few breaths, there seemed to be a fire in the cave, and with the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground, the red fire gradually became dazzling.
A white horse of a divine steed came out of the cave unruly, its body was quite tall, its hooves were as white as snow and frost, it looked slender and strong, very well-proportioned and beautiful.
The fiery red mane was scattered, the long tail hung down, and the vermilion pupils seemed to shoot out two divine lights, making it even more proud.
- Demon horse Yanhoof, finally broke the seal and got out of trouble.
It walked out of the cave and saw the old monk of Shenquan not far away, but it did not attack the human who had sealed itself - because it now had more important things to do.
The demon horse turned around, as if it had taken a deep look at the young man who had walked out of it, and then it turned around and neighed in a low voice, and then its four hooves stepped into the air, like wind and lightning, and it flew into the air at once.
Mo Chen, who came out of the cave, pursed his lips, then looked in the direction of the old monk of Shenquan and nodded.
Immediately after that, he also stepped into the air, rolled up a strong wind, and instantly flew into the sky to chase after him.
In the hunting wind, the old monk looked at the shadow of a man and a horse that disappeared at the end of the sky, and after a long time, he silently turned around, walked towards the front hall of the temple, and left the back mountain.
……
……
"Isn't this more agile than a fighter jet......?"
Walking against the wind, Mo Chen, who was chasing the demon horse in the air, stared closely at the "firelight" in front of him.
Demon horse Yanhoi is good at moving at high speeds, he knows this very well, but only after seeing it with his own eyes does he know what the concept of "good at" is.
At least Mo Chen felt that with his speed and flexibility, he really didn't even have the qualifications to follow the other party and eat ashes.
If it weren't for the demon horse Yanhoi deliberately slowing down, not to get rid of him, but to take him to the location to find the old master, then it would have been estimated that he would have run away by now.
The reason why this horse has no discipline is such a reason, it does not have high requirements for its owner, as long as it has strong strength, at least it can conquer it.
And there is no limit to the master, as long as you find a stronger one, you will attach to the stronger one, and only one of all the monsters and people can ride it in the end.
In the original plot, the Purgatory Ghost won the victory and rode the Flame Hoof because he defeated all the people and demons who wanted to win the Flame Hoof, and the White Boy was able to become its new master because he killed the Purgatory Ghost -
Anyway, if you encounter a more powerful person or monster, the demon horse Yanhoof will abandon the previous owner and choose a new owner to ride on its back.
But that's the only thing that's bad, and everything else is good......
The place where the purgatory ghost was sealed was not too far away, just in a certain wilderness dozens of miles away, where there was no one nearby, and there was not a single village in sight within a hundred miles.
There was only a protrusion of the dirt slope, like a solitary burial bag, on which a long naginata was inserted upside down.
This is where the Infernal Ghost is sealed, and the four hooves of the Divine Steed's demon horse are burning with flames, descending from the sky, and then waiting quietly.
More than ten seconds later, Mo Chen also fell from the air to the ground, and he glanced at the demon horse Yanho with his feet on the ground, and the latter turned his head and nodded towards the tomb bag, signaling.
"Huh."
Mo Chen chuckled, then stepped forward and grabbed the handle of the naginata, pouring spiritual power into it, easily destroying the structure of the sealing technique from the outside.
He let go of his palm and stepped back, only to see the grave bag suddenly tremble, then crack in it, and a hideous green palm sticking out of the dirt and grasping the handle of the naginata.
"Hahahaha, that damn old monk, I'm finally out of trouble."
A two-meter-tall ghost with green fangs and armor shook the dirt off his body and slowly stood up from the cracked grave.
It laughed arrogantly, and immediately saw the figure of the demon horse of the divine steed, and was immediately surprised and delighted.
"Firehoof! It turned out that you came to save me, and it was a good horse...... Come on, master, I'll go back with you now and settle accounts with that damn old monk!" ”
However, for its call, Yan Hoof just shook his head and looked at Mo Chen next to him.
"Damn! Yanhoof, how dare you disobey me?! The Inferno was stunned for a moment, then burst into rage, "Do you expect anything from that weak human?" ”
After all, he had become the owner of Flamehoof in the same way before, and the Infernal Ghost now naturally knew why Flamehoof did not listen to his master's orders.
- Because a new challenger has appeared, he is not the only owner of Yanhoof now, and there is one more guy with alternate qualifications.
"Then I'll kill this human right now, give me a good look, Hothoof! Don't have those meaningless thoughts in the future! ”
The purgatory ghost roared, grabbed the naginata knife and strode towards Mo Chen's direction.
It raised its long naginata in the air, and with a single blow, it was about to split that disgusting human in half!
Mo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, the folding knife appeared in his hand.
Then, nothing happened.
The Inferno Ghost froze for a moment as it raised its naginata with the help of its charge, and then slowly, its body turned into pieces like a broken building block.
The sound of puff and puff was endless, and the blood suddenly burst out as if it was an afterthought, drowning the ground with pieces of miscellaneous flesh in a pool of blood.
Direct spike!
Mo Chen put away the folding knife for a long time and looked at the divine horse not far away.
Yan Hoof screamed a few times towards the corpse of the purgatory ghost with some sadness, but without any hesitation, he walked to Mo Chen's side and rubbed his head against his new master.
Mo Chen exhaled softly, and then he felt that his body actually had a faint feeling of overload.
After all, he wasn't pretending just now, he was just using his own version of the "time warp" spell.
However, it is not to slow down the time of the objective world, but to make itself high-speed, so as to obtain an approximate effect.
This is the effect that he has not been able to grasp the real "time warp" for a long time, and there is no way to find another way to achieve it from another direction - strictly speaking, time in the outside world has not slowed down, but his own actions have become faster.
Not only their own reaction ability, but also their mental thinking has also become high-speed.
Creatures with different speed levels have different worlds, and just now in Mo Chen's eyes, the world is stagnant.
However, while it is easy to use, the load on the body is also quite heavy, and with his current physique, it is a little unbearable.
If you were an ordinary person, it would definitely be the moment you activated the spell, and it exploded in an instant before you had time to do anything.
Patting Yan Hoof's head, Mo Chen turned around and grabbed the grip of the naginata knife that had just fallen from the hands of the purgatory ghost and was diagonally inserted into a pool of blood, and then lifted it.
It is not possible to upgrade the folding knife directly, after all, its characteristics may still be useful, and Mo Chen is worried that any transformation and recasting will cause its special properties to change.
Therefore, it is better to keep the folding knife untouched, and he now feels that this long naginata knife is also very handy.
Maybe it's not powerful enough, but it's strong, so you just need to continue to use that method to "blood refine" it.
