mountain ghost

Chapter 18 It's not about money...

"Tiger Mountain Lord!"

Lu Chen could not help frowning as he looked at the gathering monster cloud.

Now that there are such powerful monsters around the Taihang Mountains, apart from Mr. Hushan, it may be difficult to find another one.

It is it that is instigating those little demons to attempt to steal the golden eggs.

Do you want to cut grass and roots?

In the animal world, when hegemony changes, the new king will indeed kill the offspring of the old king to prevent future troubles.

But for a monster who has cultivated to the level of Mr. Hushan, his intelligent thinking is no different from that of human beings, and he will not be so one-sided in thinking about problems. I am afraid that this action is not just for cutting grass and roots.

'Could it be that there is something special about this golden egg? '

Lu Chen shook his head secretly.

He didn't know what method Hushan Lord used to know the existence of the golden egg, but since he had already taken action, he would not give up easily.

Those little monsters just now were just probing.

Next, I'm afraid it will take action in person.

Lu Chen was also not sure whether his status as the "Lord of the Taihang Mansion" could deter it. If he really took action at that time, to be honest, he didn't have much confidence.

'Since I accepted the gift from the Golden Eagle Demon King, I can't just stand by and watch out of reason. I have to keep this trace of blood inheritance for her, but I'm afraid Hushan Jun is not easy to deal with.But fortunately, I have recovered my flesh and blood body now, I can come and go freely, and I still have a talisman in my hand. '

Thinking of this, Lu Chen calmed down a lot.

Glancing at the golden egg in his hand, this thing is not small, and there is no sign of hatching in a short time.

If you really run away, it is really inconvenient to carry it.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any magical treasures such as storage now. It would be great if this golden egg can be shrunk a little..."

Lu Chen said to himself.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as the words fell, the golden egg in his palm buzzed and vibrated, spinning around, and then shrinking continuously.

In a blink of an eye, it shrank to the size of a fist.

"This... even though the golden egg has not hatched, it already has spiritual wisdom?"

Lu Chen was secretly surprised.

It seems that this golden egg is really unusual, and I don't know what will hatch out in the future.

"No matter how much it is, let's talk about it after passing this level."

Shaking his head, Lu Chen raised his hand, tore off a strand of his clothes, and turned it into a small kit, which could just hold the shrunken golden egg. If he needed to run, it would undoubtedly be much more convenient to carry it with him.

"Xia Xueyi has been out for a long time, why hasn't she come back? It's best not to meet Mr. Tiger Mountain, otherwise I'm afraid it will be dangerous..."

I was thinking so.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fine footsteps, from far to near.

Lu Chen turned his head, his gaze was like lightning, and he looked towards the valley entrance outside the temple, only a few figures gradually became clear.

There were a total of five people in that group, and the one walking in the front was a sturdy middle-aged man with a long knife on his waist and a hunting bow on his back, dressed like a hunter.

There are two other guards, accompanying him left and right, and one attendant, guarding a young young man in a fine attire in the center.

He looks about 20 years old, with a jade belt and a golden crown, covered with silk, obviously from an extraordinary family background, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, but his figure is a bit fat, and he wears too many gold and silver things on his body, which is somewhat dyed worldliness.

The mountain road was difficult, and this pampered and pampered son was obviously exhausted and out of breath, relying on the support of his attendants to move forward.

"Which family's young master is this, why did he come to the deep mountains and big swamps?"

When Lu Chen saw this group of people, he couldn't help being a little puzzled.

This place is located in the depths of the Taihang Mountains, and there are few people on weekdays. Even the medicine farmers or hunters who went to the mountains to collect medicines rarely come here. Therefore, Lu Chen has been here for several months. Except for the former scholar Li Kaiyang, he has never seen anyone again.

The young master in front of him seems to be from an extraordinary family background, he is definitely not from the surrounding villages and towns, and he is probably from the big city of the prefecture.

Are you here for sightseeing?
Little did he know that there were many wolves in the mountain, and there were mountain spirits and wild monsters haunting him, so he was a bit too courageous.

Normally, Lu Chen would be very happy to see someone coming.

After all, he has refined a flesh and blood body now, and he still hopes to communicate with humans in this world and learn more about the outside world. After all, he will go down the mountain sooner or later.

But now it's a bit unlucky.

Mr. Hushan already knew that the golden egg was in the temple, gathering demon clouds, he was afraid that he would come here tonight.

Is thinking.

The group of people had already walked towards this side.

"This damn weather, the sky was clear just now, and now it's cloudy, so it's going to rain, right?"

"My lord, there is a temple in front of us, why don't we go there and rest for a while. If we go on, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on!"

The accompanying attendant spoke.

Hearing the words, the gentleman in brocade clothes raised his head and looked in the direction of the temple, nodded wearily, and said, "That's fine, if you continue walking like this, both of my legs are going to be useless, so I'll take a rest here today." Let's talk later."

Hearing this, the strong hunter in the lead frowned, and reminded hesitantly: "My lord, there are many strange things in our Taihang Mountains. This temple has been abandoned for some time. Don’t come here, we’d better not go in. If it’s not possible, there is still time to go down the mountain now, and it’s most appropriate to go to the mountain to look for it tomorrow!”

I have to say that Orion's suggestion still makes sense.

Mountain people rely on mountains to eat mountains, so they are naturally in awe of everything in the mountains, know taboos, and will never rashly enter such a temple that has been abandoned for many years.

But the young man in brocade clothes didn't take it seriously.

"Going down the mountain? This time, my son came here specifically to search for immortals and ask questions. If I didn't find an immortal, I wouldn't go back even if I was killed. Besides, if you go down the mountain today, you have to climb up again tomorrow. Are you trying to exhaust me to death?"

"But……"

"There's nothing good about it. Don't those ghost articles all say, barren mountains and ruined temples, how charming fairies? If you can meet one, it's worth the trip. And there are so many of us, what are you afraid of! Maybe, my lord My fairy fate is here!"

This little fat man is surprisingly courageous.

Ordinary people either dismissed or avoided these rumors of strange powers and chaos.

Fortunately, he came here specially for this purpose.

For a moment, Lu Chen didn't know whether to praise him for being brave or scold him for being ignorant.

"Mr. Lin, I really can't stay in this kind of place. It's too dangerous. It's an exception for me to take you into the mountain. If something happens to you, I can't explain it to Mr. Lin. Besides, you are a noble person. I'm not afraid of mountain spirits and wild monsters, but I'm just an ordinary citizen, if you really insist on staying here, I'm afraid I won't be able to lead you the way..."

Orion was still very persistent and tried to persuade him again and again.

That Mr. Lin was impatient and didn't say much, he just winked at the attendant next to him.

The latter understood immediately.

He took out a silver ingot from the bag and handed it over directly.

"The ancients said that wealth can lead to gods. My son is rich and powerful. Even if he encounters monsters and ghosts, he will be rich. What are you afraid of?"

"It's not about money..."

Orion took the silver, weighed it in his hand, it was two taels, and immediately smiled, and put it into his arms, saying, "Young master is right, you are rich and powerful, and you have no taboos. If you like living here, don't say it." One night, even if you come here every night, it’s okay..."
