mountain ghost

Chapter 13 The deadline is approaching
The ancients said that there is no time to practice in the mountains.

At the very beginning, Lu Chen would calculate the time by the alternation of day and night, which may not have much meaning, but as a human being in the civilized age, this may be a subconscious behavior.

But as time went by, he gradually became too lazy to calculate.

Mainly because he was trapped in this corner, he could only see this piece of sky and scenery, remembering the meaning of time, it seemed to have no other use except to make himself restless and anxious.

Rather than that, it's better to be free and easy.

Swallowing spirits, refining qi, forging the body, and then teaching Xia Xueyi to practice, and occasionally letting him go out to find food and pick some wild fruits, purely to satisfy his appetite.

I also don't forget to remind myself that in my bones, I am still a human being.

The red bayberries by the mountain spring had already been eaten up. Of course, most of them were pecked by passing birds. Lu Chen also tasted some at the very beginning. The weather gradually became hotter, the vegetation was lush, and the cicadas and frogs croaked. Added a bit of life to this silent valley.

The crowing of the golden eagle still resounds in the mountains and forests every now and then.

It has been several months since the last thunder disaster, but its injuries not only did not recover, but also got worse.

Challengers emerge in endlessly, attacking the old rulers and vying for the throne.

In fact, it is surprising that it has persisted until now.

But Lu Chen could feel that its aura and coercion were getting weaker and weaker, and the golden eagle with jade belt might die at any time.

"A demon king has fallen, and its treasure body is extremely precious. If I can act, I really want to pick up a corpse or something, maybe there will be a huge harvest."

Lu Chen thought so in his heart.

But it is estimated that there are many mountain spirits who have such thoughts.

Even those practitioners outside the mountain may have heard of it.

On the day when the golden eagle fell, the Taihang Mountains would probably be full of excitement. With my current meager strength, even if I regained my freedom, I'd better not go into this muddy water, or I might be swallowed up to nothing.

……

"Crackling-"

The flames rolled, a fat rabbit was being worn on an iron rod, turned over and over again, until it was roasted golden, and the fat splashed and dripped on the firewood, blasting a stream of sparks, the fragrance of burning pine wood mixed with the aroma of barbecue, even more so. Mouthwatering.

"My lord, can I eat?"

Xia Xueyi was lying beside the fire, her eyes gleaming and her mouth drooling.

It is actually afraid of fire.

But it really can't resist the temptation of this barbecue. Since the last time I tasted it, it has begun to refuse to eat raw meat.

In its words, no matter what, he can be regarded as the disciple of the prince, and he would lose his status if he drank blood like a hair.

In fact, it's just that raw meat is smelly, how can there be barbecue?
"What's the hurry, I have to turn it over again..."

Lu Chen stood on the altar, turning the iron rod in his hand.

This iron rod was forged from those sword tablet fragments.

Anyway, he was already able to memorize the contents of the above text fluently. Throwing those iron pieces beside him was not only an eyesore, but also might cause some unnecessary troubles.

It may not work for fighting, but barbecue is quite handy.

With the help of Gengjin sword bones, Lu Chen has now refined his arms, and his head and arms can move freely.

But the torso, chest and abdomen have not been transformed and tempered, so now he has no real internal organs, and he can't really eat, he can only absorb essence.

Of course, it's okay to just taste it with your mouth.

"almost."

Seeing that the rabbit was roasted, Lu Chen swiped his fingertips in the air, and a weak sword energy burst out. With his sharp fingertips, he cut off the fattest piece of rabbit leg, sniffed it, and threw the rest to Xia Xueyi.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu, thank you, Mr. Fu."

Xia Xueyi bit the roasted rabbit in one bite, but she didn't swallow it whole like ordinary snakes.

Instead, he curled his tail, and Snake Xinzi licked it back and forth, chewing slowly, which was very gentle.

After all, this kind of delicacy cannot be eaten on weekdays.

"Your Majesty, I went back to that cave to have a look a few days ago. I wanted to help you find out if there was any other Gengjin, but unfortunately I didn't find it. However, there seemed to be a precious light in the depths of the ruins, but it's a pity that The sword energy is too strong, I can't break in..."

After this period of training, Xia Xueyi's cultivation and wisdom have grown again.

Now he speaks much more fluently, no different from ordinary people.

But this was only limited to in front of Lu Chen.

At other times, it tries to avoid making a sound, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"The cave is probably the relic of Yujian Villa. There must be treasures inside, but it's too dangerous. You don't have enough cultivation now, so don't go in again."

Lu Chen shook his head.

Of course he knew that there must be other treasures hidden in that cave. After all, it was a great sect thousands of years ago. Even if it was destroyed, there must still be some heritage left.

It's a pity that there is a sword qi forbidden to guard it.

Xia Xueyi had been cruising outside the area the first two times, and she had almost survived death, and if she went inside again, she would be courting death.

Maybe after I refine my flesh and blood body and gain a certain strength, I can go in and have a look.

Anyway, the ruins are hidden deep underground. If there is no chance, ordinary people will not be able to find them. If the treasures are placed there, there is no need to worry about being caught first.

One person and one snake, eating barbecue and chatting.

Just at this time.

Suddenly there was a loud noise, the whole temple was shaking, the ground trembled under the feet, and billowing demon clouds covered the sky and the sun.

Just a moment ago, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was bright and clear, but in an instant, it was already dark clouds over the city.

Countless birds and beasts ran away in panic.

Lu Chen raised his eyes and saw a pair of huge golden wings stretched across the sky in the demon cloud. The feathers were like sword edges, and the jade belt wrapped around his neck, like a white jade spear, and the electric arc flickered faintly.

With a cry, thunder exploded.

It was the golden carving on a jade belt that had met once before.

And under the demon cloud, the mountains and forests fell down, and a big tiger with a white forehead and a dangling eye jumped onto the huge boulder.

This big tiger is as tall and strong as an ox, with a large white spot in the shape of "king" on its forehead, black and yellow patterns all over its body, a few white spots on its chest, abdomen and inner sides of its limbs, sharp as steel needles, and thick fur like a big piece. Cotton robes were draped neatly over the shoulders.

The limbs are thick and thick, the claws protrude out of the toes, the tail is thick and long, with black rings, slightly curved and swinging like a steel whip, rolling up gusts of wind, fierce and terrifying!
Two big monsters, fighting against each other!
One is the ruler of the sky, and the other is the overlord of the tiger.

Just the evil aura emanating from it is enough to make all beasts bow their heads in awe.

Xia Xueyi in the temple was also shocked by this momentum, her body trembled involuntarily, and she couldn't care less about eating meat, so she quickly shrank back and hid behind Lu Chen, with the help of his dharma body, she was a little relieved. A little sense of security.

Lu Chen was actually a little flustered.

But fortunately, the place where the two big monsters fought is still some distance away from here, so it shouldn't be affected.

"This big tiger looks like a ruthless character. I am afraid that the time limit for the jade belt and golden carving has come..."
