Chapter 63: Sabre-rattling
This voice from nowhere startled Lu Chen, and the water he had just drunk in his mouth almost squirted out. What surprised him even more was that the man who invited him in to bring him water, regardless of his age of fifty, did not delay his movements at all, and after hearing the shout, he hesitated slightly, quickly took two steps back, and then rolled on the spot, and disappeared at the door.
Lu Chen looked at this sudden scene in a daze. That is, a few seconds after the voice came, two flames suddenly flew in from the door and hit Lu Chen's face. With a wave of Lu Chen's instinctive right hand, the two fireballs were scattered. He looked closely, the two fireballs seemed to be familiar, this was a bit like the talisman Wu Tianxuan gave him, but it had been burned now. Why do you always have trouble with the talisman? Lu Chen was thinking, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a person standing at the door at some point, which made him startled again, because he didn't see how this person came in at all.
I saw that the person who came was also an old man about the same age as Wu Tianxuan, but he was much thinner than Wu Tianxuan, his face was even a little dry, with a big cloak, but his eyes were bright. At this time, he was staring at Lu Chen without blinking. The two mustaches are still shaking, I don't know if it's because of the excitement.
The old man was also dressed in linen, and he was holding a cane in his right hand, which I don't know what it was made of, and it was black and shiny.
"I don't know what happened to Your Excellency entering my Xuanxu Taoist Temple, why did you embarrass an ordinary person!" As soon as this person opened his mouth, he had a posture of asking for guilt, and it was not difficult to hear from his tone that he seemed to be a little afraid of Lu Chen.
Now Lu Chen was a little confused, he walked all night, just came to beg for saliva and drink, why did he come to look for trouble. He looked at the old man, who didn't seem to be ordinary.
"I said, did you misunderstand something! I just came in and begged for a drink!" Lu Chen spread his hands and could only tell the truth.
"Hahaha! Your Excellency is joking! This fifth peak is located in the deep mountains and wild forests, and there is no one around for more than ten miles, you don't think I'm a three-year-old child, right?" The other party not only didn't believe it, but also seemed to be directly exposing Lu Chen's lies.
"This ...... Can't I come here alone, it's really inexplicable!" Lu Chen rolled his eyes. If Wu Tianxuan hadn't dragged himself into the mountain, he wouldn't have run to this ghost place, tossed himself enough in one night, and lost Wu Tianxuan, the old man.
"That's good! Your Excellency has drunk the water now! If you drink well, then please!" The old man didn't talk nonsense to Lu Chen, and directly opened his mouth to drive people away.
Lu Chen was a little speechless, how could there be such a person, where did this guy come from, how could he get along with himself. Could it be that this place is his.
"Is this your home?" Seeing this old man who was bombarded as soon as they met, Lu Chen was also angry, so he asked his questions angrily.
Hearing Lu Chen's answer, the old man's face began to change, becoming both serious and vigilant, as if he was responding to Lu Chen's attack at any time, and he couldn't blame him for this, just Lu Chen's inadvertent hand just now had already caused him considerable pressure.
Because he didn't regard Lu Chen as a human at all, if an animal could cultivate into a human form, it would already be profound, and he didn't know that it had hundreds of years of cultivation, and this kind of existence had only been seen by the master and his old man back then. Although he was lucky to win when his master fought with him at that time, he was also broken in his cultivation. With his current cultivation, he is not an opponent at all, not to mention that he played a talisman against heterogeneity just now, and he was shot off so easily, which proved his guess. If the opponent uses strength this time, his chances of winning will not be at all. But he still had to stand up, because there were two other people here, and if he ran away, they would definitely be poisoned.
"Do you really want to do it? Although your Taoism is profound, I am not without the strength to fight, and I will lose both of them when the time comes. I don't think that's what Your Excellency wants to see. At this time, the old man tried to calm himself down, and said with a fierce expression.
"I think you're still misunderstood! Who wants to fight with you, since this is your house, and I've run out of water, then I'll leave!" Lu Chen really didn't know what was wrong with this old man, was his brain broken, and he was not good at coming up, and he had to fight with himself at this time, he didn't have the mind.
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he stood up.
His move made the old man suddenly more vigilant, and his eyes were staring at Lu Chen's every move.
"Hey, I said you should get out of the way! You block here! How can I get out!" Lu Chen saw that the old man was still standing in place with a vigilant face, and he couldn't help but be angry again, you drove me away, but blocked the door.
"Okay, then I won't send it to Your Excellency!" The old man carefully observed Lu Chen's expression, which didn't look like he was lying. So he got out of the way and said.
Lu Chen no longer paid attention to this strange old man, but strode towards the door helplessly. But just as he stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly stopped.
Lu Chen's move made the old man, who had already put his mind at ease, suddenly raise his heart to his throat again, could it be that the other party was cheating.
"Uh! Ask, do you know how to get out of Nine Immortal Mountain?" Lu Chen asked with a wry smile, if he could find his way back, he wouldn't have walked the road for most of the night and touched this ghost place.
"Well, Your Excellency is going down the mountain?" shouldn't you ......" This time it was the old man's turn to wonder, shouldn't this kind of being live in the mountains? How could it come down the mountain! Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and his thin hands began to tremble. Could it be that the other party has been cultivating for more than a thousand years and can move freely in the world! That would be troublesome, even if his own master had encountered it before, he had not reached this point.
"You don't know how to go down the mountain, do you!" Lu Chen couldn't help frowning when he saw that the old man didn't react for a long time after listening to his words.
"This ......!" It's not that he doesn't know, he doesn't know now whether the other party really doesn't know, or if he deliberately makes excuses. He felt his forehead start to sweat.
......
"Mr. Jiang, what's wrong with you?" Lian Tonghai saw Jiang Bayi fleeing in embarrassment as soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, and couldn't help but pull him and asked.
"Oh! No! There's a terrifying existence inside, and now the master of the mountain may have been fighting him inside!
The person who was panting and talking was Jiang Bayi, the person who poured tea for Lu Chen just now.
"What? Master told you to run away quickly! Will his old man be in danger? No! I want to go in and have a look!" He had just come back with his master, and he had a bad stomach halfway through, so he came back a little later than his master. Because he was almost at the Taoist temple, the master didn't wait for him and left on his own.
"Master, I'm here to help you!" Lu Chen was silent with the old man when he heard a shout outside.
Hearing this voice, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, how did this voice sound a little familiar.
And the old man began to stomp his feet in a hurry. This person is finally leaving, what are his apprentices still running over to do? If one can't get it right, and then put his life on the line, he will be just this one serious apprentice.
"Huh, why are you?"
