Chapter 12: The Night of the Empty Mountains
In order to avoid encountering an attack similar to the bat demon again, Lu Mingyue and Chai Hu once again calculated the route, if they were entangled by the demon clan and delayed the time to go to the Empty Hades Sect to receive the hall, it would not be Lu Mingyue's original intention to cheapen Lu Junxiong and the three of them in vain.
Although there is a calculation Li Mubai's meaning, Lu Mingyue thinks that as long as he doesn't show this calculation too deliberately, there is no need to use the fact that the first person to arrive at the Empty Netherworld Sect's Receiving Hall is her Lu Mingyue's husband to force Li Mubai, both of them know that they have had such an adventure, and it is enough.
Emotional connections between strangers take time and experience to maintain and consolidate, and Lu Mingyue knows how to make her pursuit plan based on Li Mubai's personality traits.
Re-planning the road map, Chai Hu drove the treasure rabbit to walk in front, although the route was quite tortuous, delaying some time, but avoiding unnecessary battles will make up for this part of the delayed time.
From the north gate of Jiangcheng to the foot of Kongming Mountain, it took half a day, and another hour passed from the foot of Kongming Mountain to the bat demon.
Seeing that the sky was dark and night was about to come, Chai Hu proposed to find a place to rest for the night, the empty mountain at night is very dangerous, during this period, most of the demon clan will take the initiative to come out to hunt, and it is easy to be noticed by the hunting demon clan.
After Lu Mingyue and Li Mubai discussed, they agreed to Chai Hu's suggestion, from this position to the Empty Netherworld Sect Receiving Hall, even if it is unhindered, it will take at least four hours, if you encounter the demon clan, deviate from the route or get injured in the battle, it will take longer to arrive at the Empty Netherworld Sect's Receiving Hall.
Chai Hu is very experienced in sprinkling insect repellent incense, insect repellent incense has no effect on the demon clan, but it can make ordinary snakes and insects smell and reluctant to approach.
Considering the low strength of Chai Hu and Liao Ping, Li Mubai and Lu Mingyue discussed changing the guards once every two hours to avoid the appearance of beasts and demons at night, although the cultivators did not rest for a night did not have much serious impact, but in order to avoid a slight lack of energy in the battle, Li Mubai and Lu Mingyue still decided to take turns to retreat.
The Treasure Rabbit was put away by Chai Lake, and the Treasure Rabbit needed to perceive the danger during the day, so the Treasure Rabbit had to rest quietly for a night at night.
Li Mubai was on duty in the second half of the night, and Li Mubai, who was idle and bored, lit the firelight, and turned over and over to figure out the white jade fragments, the quality of the jade was very high-quality, and it was a rare warm jade. Holding the white jade fragment in the palm of his hand, Li Mubai could feel a warm feeling transmitted by the white jade fragment.
The Empty Styx Mountain in the middle of the night was extraordinarily quiet, except for the hunting demon clan tossing and turning from time to time, the place where Li Mubai and the four of them rested seemed very quiet.
There was a faint sound of salsa, and in the half-foot-high grass, red-tailed spotted snakes approached Li Mubai and the four of them.
Li Mubai's eyes suddenly jumped, and in the moment just now, the white jade fragment in his hand seemed to flash a few times.
What's going on, am I dazzled?
Li Mubai shook his head slightly, and the white jade fragments in his sight were still lying quietly in his palms, and no strange features appeared.
At this moment, the treasure rabbit in Chai Hu's arms suddenly had his hair open, and his body was bent like a bow, which was the characteristic of the treasure rabbit sensing danger, and Chai Hu, who was holding the treasure rabbit, was awakened, his face was pale, and he said in a little shock: "Li Xianchang, it is a red-tailed spotted snake, highly poisonous!"
The word poison made the Qinglian Sword instantly unsheathed, divided into eight, and laid an eight-sided sword array around it, and Lu Xiang and the three of them used the eight-sided sword formation that could not be broken with magic weapons, blocking the red-tailed spotted snake group outside.
Lu Mingyue felt that she was frequently embarrassed in front of Li Mubai today, and looked at Chai Hu angrily: "Chai Hu, what's the matter with you, you met the demon clan one after another, did you mean it?"
Chai Hu said aggrievedly: "Fairy Lu, where do I dare to deliberately deceive you, I really don't know why I ran into the demon clan again, this is obviously a public place at the junction of the territory of the fiery mad monkey and the black spider, whether it is the fiery mad monkey or the black spider, they will not easily set foot here, and the territory of the red-tailed spotted snake is on the opposite side of the mountain, separated by half a circle of empty mountains." ”
Li Mubai glanced at the white jade fragment in his hand, thought of the few white mangs he had just bewildered, and guessed: "Mingyue, if there is no problem with your road map, then it is likely that there is something among us that is attracting the approach of the red-tailed spotted snake." ”
Lu Mingyue walked to Li Mubai's right side, looked at the white jade fragment in his palm, and asked, "Brother Mubai, do you think it's a white jade fragment?"
Li Mubai said: "I'm not sure, this time we traveled lightly and didn't carry anything valuable, and the most likely thing to attract the red-tailed spotted snake is this white jade fragment." ”
Lu Mingyue sacrificed the magic weapon Moon Blade and said, "Do you need to fight?" At this time and place, the sound of the battle is too loud, and it is likely to cause the peeps of the fiery mad monkey and the black spider. ”
Li Mubai shook his head slightly, and said: "The night battle is not good for us, although the red-tailed spotted snake is easy to kill, but it is highly poisonous, Mingyue, you and I can still resist the poison, but Chai Hu and Liao Ping stick to this snake venom,." With the current conditions, there is definitely no way to heal in time, I will maintain the Bafang Sword Formation, you will protect the Dharma for me, and there will be a chance to find the snake king of the red-tailed spotted snake, it must also be nearby!"
The social demon clan will inevitably have clan leaders such as the demon king or the demon emperor, these leaders are more intelligent than ordinary demon clans, and they are usually the highest in the group.
In the darkness of the night, it was difficult to distinguish and find the snake king of the red-tailed spotted snake, but there was a continuous eight-sided sword formation, and the community could not enter the sword formation and the like to attack Li Mubai and the others.
On the other side, Lu Junxiong, who had a defeat with Lu Hongzhen and Lu Xiujie, after a few fights with demon beasts, got lost in the Empty Styx Mountain, and under the circle, he broke into a circle full of luminous stones.
In the center of the circle is an old man with a white beard and white hair, with a chessboard in front of him, and his left and right hands represent different factions.
Considering that the night in the Empty Immortal Mountain was too troublesome, and he could accidentally fight a demon beast that appeared out of nowhere, Lu Junxiong decided to borrow a place to rest for a while with this old man who couldn't see the reality clearly.
Guessing that this old man might be a senior cultivator who came to the Empty Styx Mountain to explore the treasure, Lu Junxiong didn't dare to slack off, and politely saluted the old man, and said: "This fellow Daoist, the junior wants to rest here for a while, and he will leave after dawn, and he also asks the fellow Daoist to understand and be accommodating." ”
The white-haired old man was fascinated by playing chess, and he didn't realize that Lu Junxiong had walked to the center of the circle, and after hearing this, he raised his head in surprise, glanced at the glowing stone that had not moved its position, and said, "I forgot to set up the array eye, and I didn't pay attention to it when I was touched in front of me." ”
Lu Junxiong hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the seniors, the juniors have no malicious intentions." ”
The white-haired old man blew his beard and glared: "Big night, who knows if you have malicious intentions? I will be fascinated when I play chess, either I will rearrange the formation, and you will rest outside the formation, or you will play chess with me, only if you play chess, I can know if you want to kill me." ”
What a troublesome old man!
Lu Junxiong had the heart to refuse, but considering the demon clan hunting outside, he agreed to the white-haired old man's request with some irritation.
The white-haired old man rearranged the formation, rotated the chessboard ninety degrees, and handed over the sunspot to Lu Junxiong, who himself was in charge of the white.
The white-haired old man picked up a white child, looked at Lu Junxiong, and said, "You or me first?"
Lu Junxiong is not very interested in playing chess, it doesn't matter who comes first and who comes last, seeing the white-haired old man's look of anticipation and the action of falling at any time, he suddenly felt a little funny, and said: "I am a junior, I should be humble, and the seniors will fall first." ”
"Then you're welcome!"
The white-haired old man fell into the chessboard, while Lu Junxiong fell into the corner of the chessboard at will, looking very perfunctory.
But the white-haired old man obviously didn't care about Lu Junxiong's attitude towards chess, and since Lu Junxiong fell, the excitement on his face has become stronger and stronger.
About half an hour later, the white son on the chessboard had firmly gained the upper hand, and the little eyes of the white-haired old man had narrowed into a slit.
"The last son, lore, I won!"
The white-haired old man laughed, while Lu Junxiong looked uninterested, and asked, "Senior, chess is also playing, can I rest here?"
"Rest, why rest, my dear chess slave. ”
The white-haired old man's voice suddenly became cold, and a cold wind woke up Lu Junxiong, who was lacking in interest.
But before Lu Junxiong could react, the white-haired old man in front of him had already disappeared, and was replaced by a dense array of armored warriors.
Lu Junxiong hit his fists, a pair of golden lion head fists covered his fists, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face: "You old man, you dare to calculate me, don't think that if you hide, I won't be able to find you, I, Lu Junxiong's golden lion fist, will make you clearly understand what a sad thing it is to offend me!"
The voice of the indiscerning direction sounded from the dense armor warriors, and the white-haired old man's voice was full of coldness and banter: "I don't know the so-called little worm, it's your honor to let you be my chess slave, and you dare to think about resisting, if you don't teach you a lesson, you don't know how powerful my earth immortals are." ”
The armored warrior rushed towards Lu Junxiong fearlessly, and the sea of people was vast, as if he was going to drown Lu Junxiong.
Lu Junxiong was calm and calm, his golden movements were smooth, and the lion fist punched one by one, hitting the armored warrior, but soon, as if he had not been harmed, the armored warrior who was hit stood up again, and stabbed the sharp spear in his hand towards Lu Junxiong.
