24 Midnight Terror
"Old man Li, don't laugh. Lu Shengqing said disdainfully. Old man Li laughed for half an hour, too much to give him face.
"No, no, I can't laugh anymore. Old man Li waved his hand, held his stomach and said. "Where are you going to go on a mission this time?"
"Why are you inquiring so clearly?" Lu Shengqing asked.
Old man Li suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, "I know where there is a treasure outside, if you stop by, you can go and get the treasure." ”
"What treasure, Uncle Li?" Before Lu Shengqing could speak, the fat man couldn't wait to ask, and Huzi and Heizi also looked at Old Man Li with curiosity on their faces.
Old Man Li cleared his throat, sat up straight, and said proudly: "When I was young, I also wandered around the Lingfeng Domain, and at that time, this place left my legends everywhere. I want to ...... back then"
"Stop, don't talk about your glorious history, I can make it ten thousand times better than you, and get to the point. Lu Shengqing said.
Old man Li smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said: "When I was young, I liked to explore, and once I came to Yandang Mountain in Jurong Country.
There, I found a cave, and I was curious, so I walked in, and then I found three boxes inside, and just as I was about to go over and take the boxes, a spirit beast of one rank and eight stages appeared in front of my eyes.
At that time, I was only in the third stage of the psychic realm, so I retreated, planning to come back to retreat and cultivate, and when I reached the advanced realm, I would go to the evil beast to settle accounts, but I never thought that my submersible cultivation would be decades, and I had only cultivated to the seventh stage of the psychic realm.
After so many years, the spirit beasts in the cave may have left a long time ago, Xiao Qingzi, I will give you the treasure inside, if you have the chance, go and get it. But when you get it back, you must let me see what the treasure is, otherwise I won't be blind to death in this life. After Old Man Li finished speaking, he looked at Lu Shengqing affectionately.
When Lu Shengqing saw Old Man Li's gaze, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he quickly looked away.
"Old man Li, why is this place you talking about so coincidental, I also happened to go to Yandang Mountain to carry out a mission. Lu Shengqing said in surprise.
"Oh yes, that's great, it looks like this treasure is really going to be given to you by God. Old man Li said happily.
Later, Old Man Li explained in detail to Lu Shengqing the geographical features near the cave, so as not to find Lu Shengqing when he went.
Old man Li repeated it twice, and Lu Shengqing was sure that he remembered it clearly, so he nodded.
After chatting for another half an hour, Lu Shengqing kept most of the food and wine he bought, and used the rest as dry food on his way. Each person, including Old Man Li, sent thirty spirit stones and a few less valuable pills, and then waved goodbye to several people.
Lu Shengqing thought that he would be able to set off at noon at the latest, but he didn't expect to see the fat man and Old Man Li for too long, so he chatted for a long time without noticing, and now it is almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun is about to set, so he has to hurry up and set off.
But he didn't plan to walk, he was going to the Spirit Beast Hall to rent a spirit beast to travel.
When he came to the Spirit Beast Hall, Lu Shengqing told the disciple here that he wanted to rent a spirit beast, and then the other party took Lu Shengqing to the place where he used to go.
That's right, it's where he used to poop every day.
After thousands of choices and careful consideration, Lu Shengqing still chose a spirit horse.
There are three reasons for this.
The first is that he will definitely pass through a mortal city when he goes here, and it is not easy to reveal his identity on horseback. And the other spirit beasts, either with hideous faces, or ordinary people have never seen them, he is afraid that if he rides such a spirit beast into the city, he will be driven out as a demon.
The second is that the speed of this spirit horse is indeed very fast, it can reach five hundred miles in one hour, and if you feed it spirit stones, it can run all day without sleep. In addition, this kind of spirit horse has a very good eyesight at night, which is no different from the daytime, so you don't have to worry that the horse will not find its direction at night.
And its price is not expensive, ten spirit stones per day, but you need to pay a guarantee fee of three hundred spirit stones first, if the horse does not bring it back in the end, then these three hundred spirit stones will belong to the Spirit Beast Hall.
The third is because Lu Shengqing is poor and can only afford to rent the ground to run. The spirit beasts flying in the sky move hundreds of spirit stones a day, and the guarantee fee paid is as high as tens of thousands of spirit stones, which is not suitable for a poor person like him.
Leading the spirit horse out of the Spirit Beast Hall, Lu Shengqing turned over and sat firmly on the horse's back, then picked up the reins with both hands and flicked it, "Drive!" The spirit horse quickly ran towards the outside of the sect.
......
......
......
Three hours later, Lu Shengqing and Lingma came to a river to rest.
At this time, they had already left the Sunset Sword Sect for more than a thousand miles.
The spirit horse was leisurely eating grass by the river, drinking the clear river water, and it seemed that it rarely had the opportunity to come out and run, and its expression looked a little excited.
Lu Shengqing was different, he was rubbing his aching ass on the side.
Because it was his first time riding a horse, he didn't adjust his sitting posture, and the mountain road was rugged, and the saddle bumped his ass from time to time along the way, Lu Shengqing only felt that his chrysanthemum was about to turn into a sunflower.
Lu Shengqing untied the big backpack he was carrying, then took out an elixir to relieve muscle pain, took it, and practiced by the river for another hour, only then did he feel that the pain had basically subsided.
It's winter, and it's already dark at eight o'clock in the evening, and it's even darker in the forest. However, Lu Shengqing is not a mortal, and the horses are not ordinary horses, they don't need to sleep, and they don't need to rest much, Lu Shengqing threw a spirit stone into the horse's mouth, and then rushed forward non-stop according to the map guidance.
Around one o'clock in the evening, the moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and Lu Shengqing couldn't see his fingers in the forest where he rode by.
"Step!" "Step!" "Step!" In the quiet forest, only the sound of the spirit horse stepping on the ground sounded.
I haven't heard the sound of other animals for a long time, even if the forest is quiet, it is impossible not to make a sound at all, Lu Shengqing suddenly felt that something was wrong, and pulled the reins back, "Phew!", and stopped the running horse.
Lu Shengqing took out a cane from his backpack, the top of the cane was inlaid with dozens of small night pearls, and suddenly this cane lit up the darkness, and it was bright and visible within seven or eight meters nearby.
Lu Shengqing shouted angrily: "Where is the demon, it is not quickly revealed." ”
But no one answered, and the forest was still eerily quiet. Suddenly, a sound of "swish" sounded not far away, Lu Shengqing hurriedly looked over, and held the hilt of a spirit sword with his right hand, it seemed that if something was slightly wrong, he could pull out the sword at any time.
The sound of "huh", "hmph" and "hmm" kept sounding, and it was getting closer and closer to Lu Shengqing.
Lu Shengqing had already raised the spiritual power of his whole body, and controlled the five spirit swords in the sword box, he deliberately made the action of drawing the sword, just to make the other side mistakenly think that he was good at using melee combat.
As long as the opposite side walks within ten meters of him, he can attack the opponent by surprise.
"Huh!" The voice finally stopped, Lu Shengqing looked ahead, and there seemed to be a black shadow standing there more than ten meters away from him. "Your Excellency is a human or a ghost, a demon or a demon, what are you doing to stop me?"
The black shadow did not answer him, and after a while, the black shadow began to walk slowly towards him, and said in an extremely hoarse voice: "Not human, not ghost, not demon, I am a demon, the supreme demon." ”
"Okay, this demon brother, why don't you sleep here in the middle of the night, do you collect the toll?" Lu Shengqing teased.
As the distance increased, he had already sensed the realm of this person, it should be around the eighth stage of the psychic realm, and Lu Shengqing's mentality relaxed a little.
"Hehehe. This person walked slowly towards Lu Shengqing, and his laughter was very hoarse, which made Lu Shengqing uncomfortable. "You're right, that's where I collect tolls. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a toll collector, it scared me. Lu Shengqing patted his chest and pretended to be relieved.
"How much do you want, is a copper plate enough, give, take it to buy meat buns to eat." Lu Shengqing took out a copper plate from his money bag and threw it at the black shadow.
"I see that you are so pitiful, you should have never eaten meat buns, let me tell you, meat buns are delicious, bite down, and your mouth is full of ......"
"Shut up, I want not only your life now, but also make your life worse than death, take your life. ”
After the black shadow finished speaking, he quickly rushed towards Lu Shengqing.
