Chapter 8: The Thunder Ape

Although he was confused by the village chief's abnormal behavior, Yan Jingchen's good mood today was not affected.

After mastering the magic of the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws, Yan Jingchen's idea of hunting demon beasts became even stronger, the Luoyu Mountain Range was very large, and many places had never been set foot in all year round, and there were a lot of demon beasts waiting for him to hunt.

Returning to the cave, bringing the porcelain vase for storage and the dagger he got from Bai Lihao, Yan Jingchen secretly made up his mind in his heart. He decided to start the search within the scope of the Stone Man Ridge first, after all, the demon beasts here were relatively simple in terms of number and strength compared to the depths of the Luoyu Mountain Range.

Walking along the ridgeline of Shirenling all the way, walking for about dozens of miles, Yan Jingchen was about to sit down and rest for a while, when suddenly in the mountain forest not far below, a slippery bald head poked out, Yan Jingchen's footsteps froze, and he drew a dagger vigilantly.

The bald man came out of the forest, looked up and saw a young man staring at him condescendingly with a dagger, and without the slightest hesitation, he let out a terrible scream and was about to run away. Yan Jingchen didn't intend to give him a chance to escape, and a 'primer' pulled him back. Now the bald man screamed even louder, "Master save me, there are demon beasts!"

"Stop screaming, I'm not a monster. My name is Yan Jingchen, what's your name?" Yan Jingchen grabbed the bald man in front of him, for fear that as soon as he let go, he would stumble and roll down the cliff.

The bald man glanced at Yan Jingchen with palpitations, and bowed his head, "The immortal master spares his life, the immortal master spares his life!"

"I'm only fifteen years old this year, but I can't be called an immortal master, I see that you should be older than me, I'll call you a big brother." By the way, you haven't told me your name yet. "In the customs of the Yunzhou Empire, being bowed down for no reason will cost you your life, so Yan Jingchen didn't wait for him to make a move, so he pulled him down and sat down beside him.

Seeing that Yan Jingchen spoke politely, the bald man also let down his guard in his heart, "Poor Dao Dao cultivates the Fa, and has lived in Shirenling with Master since he was a child, and today he went up the mountain to collect medicine. ”

Hearing that the other party was a Taoist priest and had been living in Shirenling, Yan Jingchen was suddenly overjoyed, "Then dare to ask the Daoist Master of the Dharma to be able to demon beasts here?"

"It was common when I was a child, but later the master often went into the mountains to exterminate it for my safety of collecting medicine, and I haven't seen any traces of demon beasts in the past ten years, why did the immortal master ask about it?"

Yan Jingchen heard that he hadn't seen a demon beast here for ten years, although he was unwilling in his heart, he didn't completely give up, his expression on his face remained unchanged and he replied calmly, "I was ordered by the master to enter the mountain to exterminate the demon beast, since there are no demon beasts here, I don't know if I can go and visit the master." ”

"Okay, Master and I live at the bottom of the mountain, but I still have to go to Shiren Peak to pick a few night grass first, and then I can take you there later. ”

"Then I'll pick medicine with you first, and I'll have a good response on the way. ”

Although the snow has stopped, there are still large clouds obscuring the starlight, and the sky and the earth are dim, and the two figures walk side by side on the slippery mountain road. Yan Jingchen's body has been transformed by the Cleansing Pill, and his perception ability has far surpassed that of ordinary people, and he can see the stones and horizontal branches on the night road clearly, and the cultivation law carefully follows his side.

After walking for a while, the two of them came to a thorn forest, and Xiufa pointed ahead and said, "It's not far away, just go through this thorn forest." The two of them carefully walked through all kinds of thorns, and it took them two hours to get out of the thorn forest.

The moment you step out of the thorn forest, there is really a feeling of sudden enlightenment, the slope of the hill in front of you is slightly inclined to the top of the mountain, and there are a few shimmering fairy grasses scattered on the snow, the leaves of the fairy grass are hung with ice crystals as thin as cicada wings, and the shimmer of the fairy grass reflects a colorful world through the ice crystals.

Xiu Fa stepped forward and picked two of the largest immortal grasses and put them into the medicine he carried. "The medicine has been collected, let's go back. At the moment he was standing on the snow with a charming smile on his face.

Yan Jingchen looked at this Taoist priest who was more than ten years older than himself, and somewhere in his heart was touched by his smile, and he was envious that he would have such a pure heart, while he, a person who had not even reached the age of a weak crown, was full of hatred.

At the moment when Yan Jingchen was stunned, there seemed to be a silver light on the top of the mountain, and a roar that shook the four fields followed, and a giant ape with thick hair appeared in the darkness.

After Yan Jingchen saw the giant ape, he immediately became excited. I thought I was going to go out for nothing this time, but I didn't expect him to really run into a demon beast.

The cultivation method was frightened at the moment, and when he turned around, he drilled into the thorn forest, "Immortal Master Yan, let's go." This is a second-order demon beast Thunder Ape, and you are not its opponent. ”

"You go back first, if I can destroy this demon today, he will come to visit him again in the future. Yan Jingchen's heart was full of fighting spirit at this moment, and he couldn't listen to other people's words at all, so he ran towards the top of the mountain at full speed.

The Thunder Ape's sensing ability is very keen, Yan Jingchen was discovered by it as soon as he rushed to the mountainside, only to see the Thunder Ape stand upright, hammer his chest a few times with his fist, his eyes locked on Yan Jingchen's figure, and suddenly opened his mouth and sprayed, and a ball of spherical lightning rolled towards Yan Jingchen.

Yan Jingchen was no longer the newcomer in the immortal cultivation world who could only 'primer technique' at this time, after a whole day of 'teaching' by the village chief, he had already practiced all the techniques he could learn, and this thunder ape happened to be his actual combat object.

Seeing the ball lightning coming, Yan Jingchen didn't dodge, he silently recited the mantra in his heart, and the body covered with a layer of fine scales passed straight through the ball lightning, and reached the other side without any damage, "Let you also try my moves." Collapse Mountain Fist!"

A giant ape, who was an unknown number of times larger than the Thunder Ape, appeared out of thin air, stretched out his giant hand and smashed it with a punch. The momentum of the thunder ape just now dissipated completely, and he crawled on the ground, letting this punch fall.

"It seems that my guess is correct, I have recruited all the ape ancestors, and I don't believe that it dares to resist. Yan Jingchen excitedly held the dagger in his hand, and only waited for the thunder ape to eat this punch, and then went up to mend the knife.

On the top of Shiren Peak, the ground trembled suddenly, as if the entire mountain was a little shorter, and Yan Jingchen saw the opportunity to rush up. After being severely injured, the thunder ape rolled on the ground and screamed, and the bones in his chest were smashed and deformed.

"Your Neidan is mine!" Yan Jingchen had already arrived at the Thunder Ape's side, raising his extremely sharp dagger and stabbing it towards the Thunder Ape's head.

"Whoa......" The thunder ape's eyes were red, and he fell directly into a state of rage, and several arcs of electricity instantly appeared in his hand. This arc of electricity looks extremely extraordinary, flashing with a strange purple light, faintly with the power of the thunder of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Zizizizi!

The arc of electricity intertwined into thunder chains in the air, and the dense chains formed a large net towards Yan Jingchen. All this came too suddenly, a moment ago, the Thunder Ape was still a piece of meat on Yan Jingchen's chopping board, and in a blink of an eye, the situation was reversed. At this time, Yan Jingchen didn't have time to use a spell to escape, so he could only make a desperate attempt to use the 'primer technique' that he was most familiar with, and drag the thunder ape into the thunder net together.

For a moment, anger rose from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts, and the dagger in his hand stabbed into the heart of the thunder ape, once, twice...... , The blood gushing out from the wound poured Yan Jingchen all over his body, but his knife never stopped, the thunder net fell, and the powerful electricity burned his body with a choking mush, and his knife still did not stop.

At the foot of Shiren Ridge, in an elegant courtyard, a bald man waited anxiously outside the thatched hut.

"Practice, go get some hot water. An old voice came from the hut. Xiu Fa picked up the wooden basin in front of the threshold, walked to the courtyard where he was sitting next to the kettle on the fire, poured a full basin and brought it into the grass hut.

"Master, Yan ......" The words of cultivation had just begun, when they were interrupted by an old man with crane hair and a childish face, "You go outside and wait." ”

When the Fa Xiu went out of the house, he was still restless and wandering around the campus. That night, he came down from Shiren Peak, and immediately pulled his master You Fang Zhenren to save people, when You Fang Zhenren stepped on the void, the battle had already ended for a long time, the body of the thunder ape was electrocuted into a piece of charcoal, and Yan Jingchen under it was in better condition, although there were many damages on the body, but after all, a life was saved.

With a violent coughing sound, Yan Jingchen woke up from the bed, and saw an old man with white hair and white beard standing in front of him, moved his body slightly, and immediately a sharp pain of tearing flesh and skin came from him, and he couldn't help but shout, "Ah...... It fucking hurts. ”

Hearing Yan Jingchen's shout, the cultivator outside the house ran in one step and two steps, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old man, "He still needs to rest, you go outside and wait." ”

Xiufa had always been obedient to his master, and at this time, seeing that Yan Jingchen had woken up, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he fell into You Fang Zhenren's arms with a thud, and fell into a deep sleep.

After Yan Jingchen woke up, he didn't rest anymore, but lay on the bed and began his daily cultivation. The battle with the thunder ape was dangerous and abnormal, and it also made him deeply aware of his own shortcomings, if he could be more skilled in his spells, he would definitely be able to use the 'green dragon flash' to dodge in the face of the sudden attack of the thunder net.

Lying on the bed like this for seven days, Yan Jingchen healed his injuries with his strong recovery ability, during which he came to see him a few times, but he was driven out by the real person in front of him for various reasons.

On this day, Yan Jingchen got out of bed, planning to say goodbye to the two of You Fang Zhenren's master and apprentice, after going out, he found that only You Fang Zhenren was lying on a rocking chair napping in the courtyard, and after inquiring about it, he knew that he had gone to the mountain to collect medicine again, so he bowed down to You Fang Zhenren, "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the real person, the younger generation will be the grass ring in the future, these days there have been many disturbances, the younger generation has a loss, and I am here to say goodbye." ”

"It doesn't matter if you repay the favor or not, just stay away from my apprentice's cultivation in the future, your kid is a monk, so who is your master?" You Fang Zhenren looked like a fairy wind and bones, but when he spoke, he had the same taste as a street hooligan.

Yan Jingchen thought for a while and felt that although the village chief had never admitted that he was his apprentice, he was always not good at answering when asked by the life-saving benefactor, so he said humbly, "Family teacher, Yan Tianchen, the village chief of Yanjia Village." ”

"What! Your master is the old thing!"
