mountain ghost

Chapter 31 Mr. Be Careful
After burying the flying sword fragments, Lu Chen got up and planned to leave here.

He returned to the place where he was standing before. There was a faint light under his feet, like a small formation. There was indeed a path leading to the ground. He only felt a breeze blowing, and his body became light.

Opening his eyes again, he had already returned to that mountain forest.

At this time, the sky had already dimmed, the moonlight was cold, and the stars were shining. The whole mountain seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. It was extremely silent, only the beasts hunting in the dark, crawling and whispering.

'It's getting late today, let's go back to the temple to rest, if Xia Xueyi still hasn't come back tomorrow, it can only mean that my fate with him is over, so don't force it too much. '

While thinking, Lu Chen got up and returned to the valley where the temple was located.

Along the way, there are no unsightly mountain spirits and wild monsters.

After all, that day he caused the echoes of the mountains, and even Mr. Hushan was frightened away, and his power shook the four directions, and the beasts and monsters within a radius of more than ten miles would dare to come and make trouble.

Seeing Lu Chen approaching from a distance, they all hurriedly lowered their heads and backed away.

Lu Chen quickly returned to the valley where the temple was located. From a distance, he saw fires jumping in the temple, and people's shadows swayed, as if someone was staying here.

"It's weird, my ruined temple is usually inaccessible, why is it like an inn recently, with people coming and going?"

Lu Chen shook his head.

The footsteps did not stop, and soon came to the door, and vaguely heard the voice of the woman crying and begging inside.

But when he opened the door and entered, he found that there was only one man in the temple.

The man looked about 40 years old, with a tall and thin horse face, wearing a leather jacket and a felt hat, dressed like a traveling businessman, and beside him was a burden with various sundries inside.

"who are you?"

The horse-faced man was visibly startled when he saw Lu Chen push the door open, and subconsciously hugged a painting scroll next to him in his arms, with a look of vigilance on his face.

"I'm here to pray, I should ask you this question, right?"

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, the man was obviously taken aback.

He really didn't expect that this kind of deserted temple in the mountains has long since lost its incense, and even the statues of gods have not been lost, yet there are still temple blessings?

He thought that this place was deserted and no one was there before, so he settled here, but he was careless.

But soon, his expression returned to normal, and he quickly cupped his hands and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Miao Zhu. My surname is Chen, and I'm a wandering goods merchant. I just traded some mountain goods in a village at the foot of the mountain, and I'm about to return to Taiyuan Mansion. Passing by here, I saw that it was getting late, so I went to the temple to stay overnight, I didn't know that there were guards here, sir, please forgive me."

This person's speech is clear and clear, and the explanation is very clear.

It's just that Lu Chen vaguely felt that it was a bit too deliberate, and he said everything before he asked anything.

It sounds more like an excuse prepared long ago.

Moreover, shouldn't traveling merchants take the main road and do business in the villages and towns along the way?

Wouldn't it be the opposite to run to this inaccessible mountain and wild place?

But he looked carefully, and didn't find anything unusual about this person. There was no demonic or yin energy, and his blood was full of vitality.

'Maybe it's because I've been dealing with monsters and ghosts recently, so I'm a little sensitive. '

Lu Chen shook his head secretly.

I didn't think much about it, it was already dark at this time, and I couldn't drive people away, so I said, "Temples are supposed to be convenient for people, but now it's getting late and it's inconvenient to travel, so you can stay and rest in peace."

"Thank you sir, don't worry, I will set off at dawn, and I won't bother you for too long."

The man thanked him repeatedly.

Immediately, he took out an oiled paper bag from the shelf next to it, handed it over, and said with a smile: "This crispy cake, a specialty of Huaiyin Prefecture, is not worth much, but it is hard to find elsewhere, so I will give it to Mr. , Let’s express our gratitude, and it’s right to be the capital.”

A businessman like him who travels all over the world knows the world best.

Seeing his enthusiasm and generosity, Lu Chen did not reject people thousands of miles away, so he accepted the crispy pastry, but did not open it. Instead, he sat down by the fire and asked, "Shopkeeper Chen traveled all over the world, must have seen many Knowledgeable, I have lived in the mountains for a long time, but I seldom go down the mountain, I don’t know if there is something interesting, can you tell me about it?”

He wanted to know as much as possible about the situation outside.

When shopkeeper Chen heard the words, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Maybe I will disappoint you. I usually do business, and I only go back and forth between Huaiyin and Taiyuan Prefecture, so there is nothing to talk about." I have seen a lot. Besides, after a long day of driving, I am really tired, and I plan to rest early, please forgive me, sir."

He didn't seem to want to say much.

Lu Chen didn't force himself, he smiled and let him do it himself.

It was just a faint feeling in his heart that this person's words were incomplete and untrue, as if he was deliberately hiding something, but he didn't get to the bottom of it, no matter what this person's identity was, it was just a one-night stay, and it didn't matter if they parted ways tomorrow morning.

As long as this guy doesn't cause any trouble here.

"It's okay, if you're sleepy, take a rest."

"Okay, thank you sir for your compassion. By the way, this crispy cake is really good. If you get hungry later, sir, remember to try it. If you like it, I can sell it to you at a lower price."

Shopkeeper Chen said with a smile, then got up and went back to the fire, leaned against the corner of the wall, and closed his eyes.

But the painting scroll in his hand was not put back into the burden, it was placed directly at hand, obviously it was extremely important.

'I always thought there was something wrong with this guy, but I couldn't really tell.That scroll, I don’t know what it is...'

Lu Chen frowned secretly.

But there is no real evidence, and it is not good to check other people's things at will, so I just shook my head.

Immediately, he concentrated his attention, reminiscing about the Yi sword technique he had just acquired during the day.

This skill of swordsmanship was born out of the flying sword method of Yujian Villa, but it also incorporates the mysteries of chess. It can be condensed into chess pieces with spiritual energy and mana, which are stored in the body on weekdays. When they are released in battle, they can be turned into chess pieces. Flying sword is very convenient.

Moreover, between the vertical and horizontal chess pieces, various sword formations can be formed, with countless changes and tyrannical power.

Back then, Jiang Feng relied on this method to fight against the entire Yujian Villa alone. This shows how powerful this sword technique is.

It's just that Lu Chen doesn't know much about Go, and it's only at the introductory stage. The boy who was transformed by Jiang Feng's obsession before played games, all relying on the magic spells printed on the five elements.

Therefore, in order to truly display the power of this sword technique, it is necessary to work hard on this aspect.

It's a pity that he doesn't have any books or chess records about Go.

After that, I still have to find a way to collect and find some.

'This traveler, since he is traveling all over the world, he wonders if he can get these things for me? '

While thinking, Lu Chen opened his eyes, glanced at the businessman not far away, and then at the oiled paper package he just sent.

I really want to try this so-called Huaiyin special dim sum.

But right now.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, the bonfire jumped, and a faint voice came to my ears.

"Sir! Be careful sir..."
