Chapter 183: Encountering the Dead
"Tuoba Meng!"
What Yang Xiaotian didn't expect was that the young swordsman who was hanging from the tree was actually an acquaintance, Chongwu Academy Tuoba Meng, although several years had passed since the martial arts conference, he still recognized this young man with a thin body and a powerful name at a glance.
When Yang Xiaotian and Su Shu came to Luoxia Mountain, they saw it seriously and was desolate, and soon saw the young swordsman who was hanging from the tree as the proprietress said.
Seeing the situation, Tuoba Meng had been dead for a while, and there was a long sword stuck in his chest, which was his own weapon "Heavy Mountain".
"Brother Yang, do you know him?" Su Shu was a little surprised.
"Well, it's been a few years, and I've seen it at the martial arts conference at that time. ”
Although he doesn't have much friendship with Tuoba Meng, he can't afford to let him be violent in the wilderness.
After hugging Tuoba fiercely, Yang Xiaotian wanted to bury him nearby and put him into the ground.
After the pit was dug, Yang Xiaotian took down the heavy mountain on Tuoba Meng's chest, and placed the person and the long sword in the pit together.
Who knew that he was about to sprinkle dirt into the soil, but Tuoba Meng jumped up from the pit.
"Ahh
Su Shu was so frightened that he hid behind Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian shouted: "Tuoba Meng, are you a human or a ghost?"
Tuoba shook off the dust on his body, he didn't expect it to be Yang Xiaotian, and asked strangely, "Why are you?"
Yang Xiaotian also felt that things were really too coincidental, and asked, "Tuoba Meng, what the hell is going on? Aren't you dead, why are you alive again?"
Tuoba exhaled a turbid breath, and his thin figure stood up a little straighter, and then said, "So fast, seven days have passed." ”
"What's the passage of seven days?" Yang Xiaotian was inexplicable when he saw what he said.
Tuoba Meng said, "Die again." ”
Yang Xiaotian asked, "What happened?"
Tuoba Meng asked, "Yang Xiaotian, it's been a long time, how did you get here?"
"I passed by here, and met the proprietress there at an inn at the bottom of the mountain, and told me some bizarre things, and I was a little puzzled, so I wanted to come to Luoxia Mountain to find out. Yang Xiaotian said.
Tuoba nodded violently and said, "Now that you know what happened to the boss lady, then I don't have a lot of tongues." ”
"When I heard what happened to the proprietress, I also thought about coming to Luoxia Mountain to find out. ”
"Then did you find out anything?" asked Yang Xiaotian.
Su Shu was particularly surprised by Tuoba Meng's resurrection from death, and asked, "Aren't you dead?
Tuoba Meng originally wanted to answer Yang Xiaotian's question, but when he saw this good-looking woman, he smiled at Su Shu and said with some pride: "I am immortal." My master taught me a miracle, and after seven days after death, I can be resurrected again. ”
"Oh!"
Originally, I wanted to see Su Shu's surprised performance, but seeing that she just responded lightly, Tuoba Meng was a little disappointed, and said, "Don't you think this magic skill is very powerful?"
Su Shu said: "I'm just worried about you. ”
Seeing her strangeness, Tuoba asked, "What are you worried about?"
Su Shu said: "I'm thinking, if you weren't hung on a tree, but lying on the ground, and were eaten by the beasts on the mountain, you wouldn't be able to resurrect if you didn't want to!"
Tuoba Meng didn't expect that what she was thinking about was these things, and she was a little speechless, and she said after a while: "How can this happen!"
"How could it be?"
"Even if you are dead and lying on the ground, you still have spiritual power to protect your body, and no matter how sharp the beast's claws and teeth are, you can crush it. The last time I was killed, I didn't lie here for seven days, and it wasn't like nothing!"
"So you've been killed more than once!"
"They were killed three times together. ”
Yang Xiaotian wasn't interested in his divine skills, and he didn't care much about how many times he died and was resurrected, he just asked, "Tuoba Meng, what did you find out this month?"
Tuoba Meng's magic skill was practiced not long after he went down the mountain to practice, and he wanted to brag in front of Yang Xiaotian and Su Shu, but he didn't know that these two were weirdos, and he didn't mean to be surprised at all.
"Did you see a bookkeeper when you were at the inn at the foot of the mountain?" asked Tuoba Meng.
Yang Xiaotian said secretly, the bookkeeper was really weird, and said, "What does it have to do with him?"
Tuoba Meng said: "He is the one who killed me for the third time!"
"Sure enough, it's him!" Yang Xiaotian said.
"What, you already saw that there was something wrong with that person?" Tuoba suddenly saw Yang Xiaotian's expression as usual, as if he had mastered something.
Yang Xiaotian nodded and said, "I can see that Mr. Ledger is a little strange, but other than that, there is no other discovery." ”
"Hmm!"
Tuoba nodded violently and continued: "That day, after I came to Luoxia Mountain, I searched everywhere, hoping to find the husband and children of the proprietress later. But unfortunately, after searching the entire mountain, there is still no clue. Just a mountain temple on the hill saw something odd. ”
"What's weird?"
"What is weird, I can't say, I just think it's abnormal, the statue of the mountain god in the temple is gone. ”
Su Shu said: "Maybe there is no mountain god in the temple in the first place?"
Tuoba said fiercely: "Impossible, when I was in the inn, the proprietress said that she occasionally returned to the mountain temple to worship and bless the family." ”
So, I took a closer look at the temple, hoping to find some useful clues. Unexpectedly, a few people suddenly appeared behind me, and before I could make a move, I was slapped to death. ”
Yang Xiaotian pondered, Tuoba Meng's cultivation, he was still relatively clear, not to mention that several years had passed, and it was impossible not to advance an inch, although it was a little unexpected, but the person who could slap him to death with one palm was by no means simple.
"When I came back to life, I found that I was lying in the wilderness of the Lishan Temple some distance away, the more I thought about it, the more unconvinced I became, and I was slapped to death without even seeing anyone, which is too embarrassing to say, no matter how strong the other party is, I have to go back to find out, otherwise this matter will remain in my heart, and it will hinder my practice. ”
"The second time I came to the mountain temple, this time I saw it. ”
Su Shu hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"
"I don't know!" Tuoba sighed violently, it was really embarrassing to say it, he died twice under their hands, but he didn't even see their faces, "they are dressed in black, and they can't see their original appearance at all." ”
Yang Xiaotian noticed the thoughtful look on Su Shu's face and asked, "What's wrong, Su Shu?"
Su Shu said: "Brother Yang, among the group of robbers I met that day, there were also several people who were dressed exactly like what he just described, I don't know if they are the same people." ”
Tuoba Meng said: "Although I have been on guard this time, they are only one person to fight with me, but they were also killed by him with a palm. ”
What Yang Xiaotian thought of was that if these people were the same people as the people Su Shu met, then the matter would not be simple, this place was so close to the cold sea, maybe the target of these people was still Su Shu, knowing that Su Shu had entered Wenzu's hometown, but he couldn't get in, so he simply set up camp here and waited for Su Shu to come out by himself, so why didn't he live at the bottom of the mountain, but came to Luoxia Mountain and made such a big battle? What is there on Su Shu's body, which is bound to be obtained by these people?
"Brother Yang, what are you thinking?" Su Shu asked when he saw Yang Xiaotian lost in thought.
"It's nothing, Tuoba Meng, you go on, then why were you hung up on the tree again, and what happened to Mr. Bookkeeper?"
Tuoba Meng said: "Another seven days have passed, and I have been resurrected again, this time I am no longer so reckless, and I secretly went to the mountain temple, wanting to secretly observe who these people are. Who knew that when I walked here, I met the bookkeeper in the inn, and I said hello to him, but he started to work with me without saying a word. After I was hit by him, he snatched my long sword, and stabbed a sword in the chest, I thought that this bookkeeper and the people in the mountain temple should be in a group, knowing that palm power alone could not kill me, so I made up a sword, but I didn't know that my magic skills were wonderful. As for how he was hung from a tree, I don't know. ”
Tuoba Meng said so much, and the only useful clue was that there was a mountain temple on the mountain, and there was a group of people in the temple who cultivated extremely high but did not want to reveal their identities.
"Where is the Mountain Temple?" Yang Xiaotian asked.
"It's not far, just go around the mountain road in front of you. ”
"Okay, you can take us there. ”
Tuoba Meng knew that Yang Xiaotian's cultivation was much higher than his own, and with him all the way, maybe he could have some chance of winning, so he took them all the way to the mountain temple.
"Brother Yang!"
Su Shu stopped abruptly and pointed to the side of the road.
"Statue of the Mountain God!"
The mottled statue of the mountain god lies on the side of the road.
Tuoba was surprised: "Why didn't I find out before. ”
Yang Xiaotian walked over, didn't find anything abnormal, and after straightening the statue of the mountain god, he turned around and walked back.
"Wait. ”
Suddenly, someone behind him called him.
Yang Xiaotian turned around and saw that it was a little old man, holding a bamboo cane in his hand, but the original statue of the mountain god was gone.
"Are you the mountain god here?" asked Yang Xiaotian.
The little old man said: "The old and vulgar are the mountain gods here. ”
Yang Xiaotian saw that he was disgraced, so he asked, "Baishan God, why did you end up like this?"
Bai Shi was a little indignant and said: "The old decay was originally the peak of incense, and I was also conscientious and conscientious to protect the safety of the party." Who knew that such an encounter would occur. ”
Yang Xiaotian said, "White Immortal, what trouble did you encounter?"
Bai Shi sighed and said: "Nearly half a year ago, a few strange people came to the mountain, as soon as they went up the mountain, I felt a feeling, knowing that these people were not good people, how do I know that I haven't gone to look for them, but they ran to the temple, drove me out, and sucked the aura of this mountain clean." ”
"White Mountain God, do you see where they come from?" asked Yang Xiaotian.
Bai Shi said: "Since I was named the god of this mountain, I have seen a lot of people in the past thousand years, and my eyes are also sharp, but I can't see their origins, I just think they seem to be inhuman. ”
