Chapter 23 Spirits, Runes

At night, the stars are like water. 【】

There was a dead silence around Longquan Mountain, the whimpering wind, and the strange noise coming from the mountain, if a timid person was here, he would definitely be frightened by the sound of death howls.

Nie Lin and Gu Menghan walked on the mountain road one after the other, and by their side, they were followed by a guard in the town, this guard's surname was Luo, called Luo, and Luo Xiong were cousins under the same branch, a three-pole swordsman, entrusted by the mayor of the town, to serve as a guide for Nie Lin.

Along the way, according to Luo Xiong's confession, the strange sounds that often appear in this mountain are sometimes caused by the wind blowing into those mountain springs, but sometimes, those strange sounds are caused by some ghost-like foreign objects.

Those ghostly foreign objects, like virtual and real, like beasts and humans, have many strange textures on their bodies, according to the experienced old people in the town, those should be a kind of rune spirits handed down from ancient times, which are used by shamans to arrange runes.

In that Longquan Mountain, there are many strange places, often there are some strange phenomena, the townspeople in the town sometimes occasionally encounter the aftermath, if they do not escape in time, I am afraid that there will be a danger to their lives, every year there will be townspeople who collect the iron and sometimes disappear in the mountain and never come back.

And this time, the disappearance of these girls born in Qingtan Town has never been seen before, because he is afraid of causing panic, so the old mayor does not dare to let the townspeople publicize it.

In the past, only after entering the depths of Longquan Mountain, if there is a phenomenon of disappearance from time to time, but now people have not entered the mountain, there are people missing, and they are still girls, although this will be reminiscent of some evil people lurking in the mountain to do that evil deed, but most of the townspeople in the town feel that it must be those strange spirits in the mountain who are doing trouble, and it may even be related to the dragon fish.

The mountain wind roared, and the farther you went up the mountain, a gloomy aura came to your face.

When Nie Lin entered the foot of the mountain, he was able to keenly sense the strong cold aura of Longquan Mountain.

After about a stick of incense, they found a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, and the fence gate around the small courtyard had been damaged.

Nie Lin took a look, there were still some water stains around, judging from the traces of destruction, it was a bit like Zhu Tanzhi's monster coming ashore to make trouble, but in fact, if it was really a monster, I am afraid that the wooden house would also be destroyed.

The three of them didn't take a closer look around the wooden house, and Nie Lin motioned to investigate directly into the mountain, which was more direct than imagining it out of thin air.

Under Luo's leadership, they entered the mountain through a narrow mountain path.

The reason why this Longquan Mountain will be revered as a holy mountain by Qingtan Town is because there is not only Bitan Qingtie on this mountain that they have relied on for generations, but also some strange plants and fruits on that mountain, which are the foundation of their survival, and even this mountain also buries the ancestors of the people here.

Although the old mayor and Luo didn't reveal much to Nie Lin, it was not difficult to guess that since they regarded this mountain as a holy mountain, it was not only a place to bury their ancestors, but I am afraid that there were also some secret relics left by their ancestors here.

Since Nie Lin realized some ancient ruins to some history thousands of years ago, then he would naturally be more aware that the ruins left by Longquan Mountain were probably left by the ancient shamans.

But until now, the people of this town may have forgotten the original intention of the mysterious ruins left by their ancestors, they have guarded this mountain for generations, and the people of the town have gradually become timid and cowardly, and they have not even stepped out of a strong man, or someone has created an unprecedented world.

After entering the mountain, Luo seemed very cautious.

Especially at night, the five fingers are not visible in the dark, although Nie Lin and Gu Menghan's eyesight is not affected by anything, but Luo's strength is the weakest, and he is familiar with this Longquan Mountain, if he is careful, Nie Lin naturally has to pay attention to it.

There are no sword beasts in the mountain, but there are some spirits, and the spirits mentioned here refer to some psychic beasts, after giving birth to mutations, they are completely different from ordinary beasts, more powerful and ferocious, and even some of the bodies occupied by the alien spirits of the mountain are more powerful, not weaker than sword beasts at all.

Some people in the town have seen strange spirits, and they can't describe the specific appearance of the strange spirits, but the existence that seems to be virtual and real makes Nie Lin think that after thousands of years of evolution, the talisman of the talisman has been introduced into the soul of the living soul to give birth to a kind of spiritual energy body, which is somewhat similar to the sword spirit.

Along the way, there were no clues to the whereabouts of Luo Xiong and the others who were missing, so Luo took the two of them and continued to walk near the Dragon Spring.

Longquan is deep in a cave in the depths of Longquan Mountain, where it was originally guarded by the townspeople, but since the appearance of a large number of strange spirits and some spirit beasts entrenched there, the townspeople have retreated to the town, but there are people guarding the foot of the mountain.

Into the depths of Longquan Mountain, you can see a lot of spring water pools, the scenery is very beautiful, especially at night, when the moonlight shines in, the sparkling waves, reflecting the stars in the sky, is indeed very wonderful.

In fact, Nie Lin could have waited until tomorrow morning to come again, but he felt that by coming at night, he could reveal the clues they were looking for, and the general attribute of extremely yin things, naturally liked to haunt at night, and if there was sunlight during the day, those things would not be able to shrink.

And he heard that Luo Xiong and several girls were missing at night, so it was undoubtedly the best choice to come out at night to look for clues.

"Wait, slow down......"

At this time, when entering the area near Zhutan, Nie Lin sensed the abnormal movement around him, so he stopped Luo Luo's pace and stopped.

"Brother Nie, what did you appear, why didn't I sense anything?" Luo asked.

Nie Lin's will and soul are strong, and he naturally has a sensing ability that ordinary people can't compare, when he sensed that there were foreign objects near these waterholes, he reminded: "Let's stand in a triangular position, each on guard, continue to move forward, and walk in the direction of Longquan."

For the sake of safety, Nie Lin let Luo stand on his left side, he and Gu Menghan happened to be each other's horns to protect him from the attack of spirits or alien spirits, everything that has wisdom knows the truth of bullying the weak, and the law of the jungle is suitable for no matter what kind of creature it is.

Luo is the guide, he knows the exact location of Longquan, and he is familiar with the environment of this mountain, if there is no danger in entering, he can return the same way smoothly, but if other people who are not familiar with this place come in, it will not be so easy to get out.

Nie Lin didn't know what kind of talisman array this mountain had, and it had generated so many spring pools, but after coming in, there were spring pools everywhere, as if it was a natural labyrinth, plus some influence of light, so it was easy for ordinary people to get lost.

The more mazes like this, the more likely it is to appear spirits, and even those alien spirits, but Nie Lin believes that they are runes that have produced mutations.

Whew

At this moment, when Luo led the two of them to a clear pool, and was about to cross a single-plank bridge built on top of the clear pool, a muffled roar like a beast came from the vicinity of the clear pool.

"On Alert"

After Nie Lin reminded him, Gu Menghan pulled out his double swords and clenched his heavenly hands, while Luo also pulled out his sword and looked around.

swish

At this moment, when Nie Lin took three steps forward, a half-human-tall influence suddenly rushed towards Luo like a flash of humor.

Nie Lin's gaze flashed, and when the shadow pounced, he quickly locked onto the shadow, and at the same time he could see what the thing was.

It was a spirit with a lot of sarcomas on its body, especially on the back, and two protrusions that supported the skeleton and allowed him to stand up, but in fact his prototype was a wild wolf, but now he has become a wild wolf that can stand up, this is not an ordinary beast, and it is naturally classified as a spirit.

These spirits are different from ordinary sword beasts, their bodies are not as fierce and strong as sword beasts, nor do they have strong weapons like sword claws, saber teeth, and sword tails, they are similar to ordinary beasts, but the most sudden thing is that their eyes are blooming with a strange purple luster.

It's a long story, but it's actually just a few breaths away.

When Nie Lin saw clearly that the wolf spirit was rushing towards Luo, he didn't draw his sword at the first time, but slammed Luo's arm and reminded: "Stand back, quickly dodge......"

Luo had experienced the attacks of these spirits, and he was not flustered, he naturally knew the habits and murderous characteristics of these spirits, so after Nie Lin reminded him of the location, he suddenly leaned back and fell straight down like a big tree.

Recite~~

At the moment when Luo fell, the wolf spirit suddenly spewed out a sword-like thing, slashing in front of Luo, with a sour smell, but after that breath erupted and shot into a tree trunk, the trunk was suddenly pierced through a hole.

Nie Lin also experienced this kind of strange spirit for the first time, but his agility was not low, at the moment when the spirit attacked Luo Dong, the Absolute Dust Sword in Nie Lin's hand swung out, and a sword light drew a silver arc against the backdrop of the moonlight, with an extremely sharp sword aura, and slashed towards the spirit.

Poof

Under the sword, the spirit was split in half, blood and light splashed, and the two halves of the stump fell to Qingtanzhi, splashing with bursts of water.

Luo stood up at this time and said: "The body of these spirits is not as strong as that of sword beasts, if you cut it with a sword, it is easy to kill, but their degree is very fast, and they are elusive, especially they will spit out a strange liquid, just like a sword, very sharp, so as long as they can prevent them from spitting attacks, the threat of these spirits is not great."

Nie Lin said: "Then the spirits of this mountain, but they are all like this?"

Luo shook his head and said: "The spirits of the mountain are some of the more powerful ones we have encountered, and they can all have a chance to escape, so for kendo masters, they can be easily killed, but some of them we have never encountered are unknown, but we can be sure that those powerful spirits must be there, and if they do, the weak people will definitely die, so naturally they can't see it."

roar

Just as Luo's words fell, a loud roar sounded from near Qingtan, and the huge sound made the water ripple in the entire Longquan Mountain Earthquake Qingtan.

Luo's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "It's too evil, whatever you say, you can come to anything"
