Chapter 18: There is a ghost on the left
"I want to go left."
The person who spoke was none other than Lu Ran.
There is no expression on his face, not even a determined look.
Completely ignoring the incomprehensible, disappointing, angry, strange, and foolish gazes that others threw at him.
In the audience, only King Fu was smiling.
"Left, do you mean left?" King Fu turned around, but the words he asked were inexplicable, but since King Fu spoke first, the others did not dare to interject again.
Lu Ran just nodded.
King Fu smiled mysteriously, nodded the same head, and in response, replied briskly: "If you want to go, it's fine." ”
His eyes swept away, and finally stopped at Li Jiangliu: "Jiang'er, you can be a companion." ”
Li Jiangliu, who was named, had an ugly face for a moment, but quickly returned to normal and gestured towards King Fu.
Li Jiangliu was deeply frightened by the meaning of King Fu's words, but he soon felt that he should just let him stare at this little Haizi and not make a mess.
So the soldiers were divided into three ways.
Lu Ran and Li Jiangliu went to the left, and King Fu took the other three young girls, Gu Xing, and seven or eight sergeants to the cave on the right, while the remaining sergeants stayed in place and waited.
The cave explored by the "Treasure Exploration Fire Spirit" is just halfway up the mountain, and there is no road to access, if ordinary people do not have some climbing skills or physical skills, it is difficult to reach without the help of tools.
Although Lu Ran had some floating kung fu in the water, but when he arrived on land, he was an ordinary fifteen-year-old boy, and he saw King Fu taking Li Huati and Li Yuexuanfei up the mountain wall, and saw Gu Xing, Li Chunfu, and two or three monks following closely behind, and then saw the seven or eight sergeants climbing up without effort, Lu Ran stood on the lower wall of the cave on the left, a little embarrassed, and did not move.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you?" Li Jiangliu asked with a smile on his face.
Lu Ran didn't answer, and was already ready to start climbing with his bare hands.
"Little brother, don't be in a hurry, you might as well try this." Li Jiangliu took out a small white bottle from his bosom and poured out a few pills, which came in various colors.
Li Jiangliu thought for a while, left a small blue pill, put it in the palm of his hand and handed it to Lu Ran.
Seeing Lu Ran's suspicious face, Li Jiangliu smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not a poison, it's a pill to strengthen the body, it was just refined into a batch not long ago, you might as well give it a try." Li Jiangliu raised his chin and motioned for Lu Ran to take it.
Lu Ran took the pill, and without waiting for him to speak, Li Jiangliu also flew up the mountain wall and entered the cave on the left.
Looking back, he stretched out his hand to Lu Ran and motioned for him to hurry up.
The blue pill the size of a fingernail, with some black and gray impurities in the blue, is not round, and the surface is pitted.
After smelling it, it was still a little sweet.
Elixir?
Lu Ran turned his heart across and swallowed it in one gulp.
The taste was not bad, it could even be said to be a little delicious, but before he could taste it, Lu Ran only felt a sharp pain coming from his abdomen.
From the abdomen to the toes, from the toes back to the abdomen, and from the abdomen to the top of the head.
It was as if this pill was swimming in the body for a full three turns.
I walked three laps, from the top of my head to my toes, and it hurt three times.
Fortunately, the pain gradually disappeared soon.
It was so painful that I closed my eyes tightly and convulsed all over my body, like a person with hysteria.
When I opened my eyes again, I felt like I had been reborn.
Not only is it much clearer in front of me, but even what I hear in my ears and what I think in my heart, and my whole body senses become strong and full.
Tentatively, he jumped lightly, as if he felt that he had lost weight, and although he still stumbled a little, he successfully climbed the cave halfway up the mountain.
"Little brother, look, I'll just say, it's useful."
Li Jiangliu's smiling face is consistent.
The two of them went one after the other, exploring the cave.
Lu Ran's body, the wonderful changes continued.
In the dark cave, Li Jiangliu's back was clearly visible, he looked back and smiled, his voice was loud and scary: "Little brother, don't worry, the effect of the medicine is only an hour, and it will recover soon." ”
Lu Ran wanted to nod his head and thank him, but unexpectedly, he nodded slightly, and the whole person flew out like a big scale.
Obviously he felt that his body was as light as a cloud, but he fell hard like a mountain peak falling to the ground.
"Your current body and mind, because of the pills, are already close to the Red Immortal, and I don't know how much more powerful than a person like me who has been cultivating for three or five years, so from now on, you can't move too much, because your physique is close to an immortal, the so-called difference between humans and immortals, the first is the perception of priorities, which has soared to a new level."
In front of Lu Ran's eyes, Li Jiangliu was slowly moving forward in an incredible slow motion, explaining as he walked.
This scene, this back, how does it feel a little familiar?
Lu Ran hurriedly followed behind, either stepping out of a pit in the ground with one foot, or knocking out a big hole in the wall of the stone cave with one punch.
Is this the power of the "immortals"? Lu Ran stopped talking, and for a while, he suddenly remembered a lot of irrelevant things.
In this way, the two of them walked forward for about two incense sticks, and the effect of the medicine gradually decreased, and Lu Ran gradually got used to it, and while calming down and carefully observing the situation in the cave, he talked to Li Jiangliu without a match.
There is nothing special about the inside of the cave, and the inner walls are all stones, slightly lighter in color than the one outside the cave, one after the other, like the scale armor of some kind of beast.
This kind of similar and monotonous scene always makes people feel that they have walked for a while, returned to the starting point, and seem to be going to walk again.
But Lu Ran knew that they were not stuck in a labyrinth, but kept moving forward. The effect of the pill allowed him to distinguish the difference between each stone, the shape, size and even the texture, which usually looked almost the same, but now when he looked at it again, he found that even if it was the same stone, it was very different in nature.
The road is a little winding, but it always leads deep into the heart of the mountain. Lu Ran could even feel the end of this cave through the air current, there was indeed something.
The clearer his senses, the more active his mind became, and his emotions became unusually intense.
Gradually, the whole person became out of his control.
Lu Ran looked at Li Jiangliu's back and listened to him let out some laughter from time to time.
He felt more and more that this back was somewhat familiar.
The more I look at it, the more I feel ...... I don't like it very much.
The more I listened to him, the more disgusted I became.
Li Jiangliu was originally a young man with few words, but he walked in this cave for a long time, and he didn't meet anything, his guard was relaxed, but he was a little frightened, and there was only Lu Ran around him, so he had to open his mouth and say: "I said...... Little brother, why do you want to go to the left alone? ”
Lu Ran's voice in the darkness was a little hurried: "No." It's nothing. ”
"Don't you think that you can find some unexpected treasure when you go to the left? Or do you know what is hidden in the belly of this mountain? ”
"Nope. No. ”
"Little brother, I didn't say you, you're a 'destined person', it's really boring."
Lu Ran didn't make a sound, just muttered and repeated in his mouth: "Indeed." People who are destined are really boring. ”
"You said that you, who suffered such a great sin, came here, but chose such a path, and even when you finally came here, you didn't know what you were looking for, and you couldn't even take a look, did you say that you were too miserable."
"It's a pity, 'destined people', people who cultivate the Tao in the world, people with top qualifications."
"You say, could it be like this, without the 'destined person', their side is not going well, and in the end nothing is found?"
"You say, if you are a 'destined person', then will I be a 'perfect person'?"
Li Jiangliu chattered endlessly, and Lu Ran only felt that he kept hearing the words "destined person" in his ears.
He didn't like these four words either.
Li Jiangliu, he also doesn't like it.
All the while, I didn't like it.
Li Jiangliu heard the young man behind him suddenly stop and speak.
"I offered to go to the left because I didn't want to be with you guys anymore."
Lu Ran said word by word the reason why he wanted to go to the left.
