mountain ghost

Chapter 7 Offerings
Lonely in the mountains.

After Li Kaiyang left, there were no visitors to this ruined temple in the mountain.

Even the beasts and monsters in the mountains will avoid this place far away.

It should be due to the visit of the Golden Eagle Demon King that night.

Nowadays, all the monsters in the mountain know that the owner of the temple may still be alive, so how dare they come here to make trouble?

As a result, Lu Chen became even more bored.

There is nothing to do every day except watch the sun rise and set outside.

Because he doesn't have a flesh and blood body, he doesn't need sleep at all. As long as he is nourished by spiritual energy, his soul will not get tired.

He had already read the Shanhe Zhi left by Li Kaiyang several times, and the rest of the time could only be used to practice the jade talisman scriptures.

Swallowing spirits and refining Qi is actually a boring process, and there are no shortcuts to speak of.

At the very beginning, Lu Chen also had distracting thoughts.

But because he was trapped in the statue, he couldn't move and he couldn't go anywhere, which instead became a kind of help, forcing him to calm down.

Gradually, Lu Chen's state of mind began to change subtly, his impetuosity faded away, he settled down, and he gradually discovered that practice is actually not as boring as imagined.

In the process of refining Qi and swallowing spirits, you can also feel something.

The softness of the water spirit, the vitality of the wood spirit, the thickness of the earth spirit, and the etherealness of the wind spirit...

Each ray of aura has a different smell, where they come from, where they pass, and what kind of story they have...

Before he knew it, Lu Chen began to feel as one with nature.

The mood suddenly brightened.

He tried to connect his spiritual thoughts with the aura around him, and the surrounding flowers, plants and trees seemed to become his eyes and ears, enabling him to see farther and hear more.

Even in the temple, people can clearly perceive everything around the temple.

The mountains behind him and the ground under his feet seemed to resonate slightly with him.

The sun rises and the moon sets.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed like this.

Under Lu Chen's day and night practice, he can now refine a drop of blood essence every day.

The finger of the statue holding the jade talisman has already begun to show the luster of blood and flesh, and it may not take long before it will be able to move freely.

And with the growth of spiritual energy in his body, his soul was also nourished and became stronger, and some of the original ghost methods were now displayed, and they were even more powerful.

For example, he can now use the power of his mind to manipulate fist-sized stones and throw them.

Of course, the power is small.

Not even as hard as a three-year-old child.

But this is also the category of royal objects.

Ordinary cultivators do not have such means at the Yunling stage.

Besides.

Lu Chen also discovered that with the accumulation of aura, some subtle changes seemed to be taking place in his soul, and a faint golden light was born in his spiritual thoughts.

He didn't know what it was, but he could feel a faint divinity in it.

Could it be that because of refining the relationship with the god statue, his soul was stained with a ray of divine brilliance?
I don't know how powerful this thing is.

The main reason is that it is too weak at present, and he does not have a suitable opportunity to test it.

"Goo-goo-"

The thunderous cry sounded again in the mountains and forests.

Lu Chen raised his neck with difficulty, and looked out through the hole in the roof, but only saw an empty sky.

This was not the first time he had heard the crowing of a golden eagle.

Since that thunder disaster, he could hear this voice almost every day.

The golden eagle with jade belt probably failed to survive the thunder calamity. Although it saved its life, it was seriously injured, so it chose to retreat outside the temple that night.

The demon king was wounded, which was a godsend opportunity for other mountain elves.

Therefore, every day there will be other powerful monsters who will challenge the former king and compete for the hegemony of this forest.

Although almost all of them failed, the strength and majesty of the jade belt and golden eagle are also declining.

"If there are no accidents, the jade belt and golden eagle won't last long. Who will the new demon king be?"

Lu Chen sighed.

But these things don't have much to do with him for the time being.

There are countless spirits and monsters in the Taihang Mountains, and whoever becomes the demon king has no influence on him, as long as he doesn't come to his own acre and three sects of land.

'The bayberry beside the mountain spring is almost ripe, I really want to taste it. '

Lu Chen thought so.

He has a body of mud, so he doesn't really need to eat, but his human nature has not faded, so he will inevitably be a little greedy.

It's a pity that his spiritual thoughts can't extend too far. After several attempts, they can only reach the bottom of the tree trunk, just like a child jumping up, he can't pick the fruit on the treetop.

The mountain wind blew, the treetops shook, and the bright red fruits on them shook, as if mockingly laughing.

"Okay, you are lofty, you are amazing, can you stop eating?"

Lu Chen clicked his lips in anger, and withdrew his divine thoughts as he spoke, let's continue to practice honestly.

Another day of swallowing spirits and refining qi.

When Lu Chen opened his eyes again, he unexpectedly discovered that at some point at the gate of the temple, a large blade of grass appeared, containing more than a dozen bright red bayberries, which were obviously just picked off recently, and some of them still had With water beads.

The bayberry is wrapped in grass leaves and placed flat in front of the temple gate, just like a tribute.

"Anyone here?"

Lu Chen was a little surprised.

Although he had been concentrating on cultivation before, his spiritual thoughts could be released at any time, and he could gain insight into the surroundings of the temple. If there was any strange aura approaching, it was impossible for him to be unaware.

Unless, the other party's strength is far superior to his own, or he is a creature nearby, with a familiar aura, and naturally blends with the mountains and forests, so it is difficult to gain insight.

Lu Chen guessed that he was more inclined to the latter.

'I was trying to pick red bayberry before, and someone brought it to me on the back foot, which is too much of a coincidence.There is something watching me secretly, but from the current point of view, it seems that there is no hostility...'

Lu Chen frowned slightly.

He had to find a way to find this "person".

Although the other party's act of offering sacrifices did not seem hostile, he didn't like the feeling of being watched.

Thinking room.

Lu Chen opened his mouth and took a long breath.

The red bayberry wrapped in the grass leaves shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he sucked and enjoyed all the essence contained in it.

The soul and the gods, when they enjoy the offerings, absorb the essence and aroma of them, such as joss sticks, paper money, and tributes, and this is where the theory of incense comes from.

When he enjoyed this sacrifice, it was equivalent to letting the other party know that he had accepted the sacrifice.

If the other party wants something, they should show up.

really.

That night, after night fell.

There was a slight rustling sound from the woods in the distance, and Lu Chen listened attentively. The sound was very small, indicating that the creature that came was not big, but it was very fast, and it arrived at the gate of the temple in an instant.

The breath stopped at the door, as if he didn't dare to step into it rashly.

Followed by.

There was a knock at the door, and then a timid voice:

"My lord... my lord..."
