mountain ghost

Chapter 97 The Monk
"Eldest brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are so energetic and diligent, and your sword spirit is overwhelming, I really admire you..."

Lin Xiaofan squatted under the tree, looked up at the golden snake above, all kinds of rainbow farts were photographed for free, but unfortunately, Xia Xueyi was not moved at all, just looked at him indifferently, and didn't even bother to speak.

If ordinary people encounter this situation, they will probably be aware of it.

But Lin Xiaofan has a really thick skin, and he tried to take out a pack of snake berries. He heard that snakes like to eat this kind of wild fruit the most. This is the spirit fruit he got from an auction at a high price. , very rare, spent dozens of taels of gold, expected to impress the golden snake.

Seeing the snake berries, Xia Xueyi poked her head out.

This guy seems to have no desires except for cultivation, but since he followed Lu Chen, he has the desire to eat and drink, and he really doesn't have much resistance to delicious food.

It stretched out its tail, curled up a snakeberry and swallowed it.

Then he shook his head.

"It's not good. Eat meat, barbecue!"

Xia Xueyi vomited a snake letter and said.

Except for the first time we met, this was the first time it spoke to Lin Xiaofan. The latter was overjoyed when he heard the words. , of course he will seize the opportunity.

Immediately smiled and said: "Barbecue is not easy? Brother wait for me, I will go to a few chefs to learn later, I will definitely satisfy you next time!"

"Ah."

Xia Xueyi agreed coldly, then closed her eyes and continued to practice Qi.

Lin Xiaofan didn't continue to harass him, he turned around and saw Lu Chen coming back, he immediately ran up with a smile, served tea and water, all in one go.

to be frank.

Lin Xiaofan is actually a very ordinary person. Apart from his family background, he has a lot of mortal traits in him.

It can only be described as good or bad.

But one thing to say, getting along with such a person is actually not a bad feeling.

Furthermore, Lu Chen really needs a tongue in the world to do some chores for himself, such as inquiring about news and collecting items, so as to make plans in advance for the future expansion of God's Domain.

Originally, he was more optimistic about Li Kaiyang.

But this person has a great talent, and I am afraid that he will follow the road of Confucianism and Taoism in the future, and now he is busy with scientific research, so he can't help himself for the time being. In addition, he has a scholarly heart, so he can do great things, but he may not be able to do such small things. smoothly.

In comparison, Lin Xiaofan is considered a good candidate.

Worldly and slick, knows how to behave in the world, and is exquisite in all aspects.

Therefore, Lu Chen tacitly allowed him to visit the mountain often.

It's just that this guy seems to have a bit of luck. Every time he comes, he happens to encounter all kinds of unexpected situations, such as the first Tiger Mountain Monarch, and after the construction of the temple, there are pictures of ghosts attacking and stealing at night...

"Your Majesty, please drink tea..."

Lin Xiaofan poured a cup of tea and handed it over respectfully.

By now, he already knew Lu Chen's identity, and after many contacts over this period of time, he was getting closer, so he broke the paper on the window and changed his address directly.

Lu Chen didn't care about these details either. He never thought of concealing his identity. He called himself Miao Zhu before because he was not strong enough and wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible. Now it doesn't matter.

"Tell me, what's the matter with entering the mountain this time?"

Hearing Lu Chen's inquiry, Lin Xiaofan first took out a yellowed ancient book from his arms with a smile, held it up with both hands, and said: "Last time I got the snake pill bestowed by the Fujun, after I went back I refined it, and the aura increased greatly. , so I discovered the traces of other practitioners, so I participated in a secret auction and bought an ancient book, maybe the Fujun will be interested."

As he spoke, he handed over the ancient book.

Lu Chen took it over and saw that the book turned out to be a chess record, named Xuanxuan Chess Classic, but it was not the kind of popular one that he had seen before.

The legend is written by a chess master hundreds of years ago. The chess power is mysterious and the layout is strange. The records in the book are some very classic and mysterious games, and there are many secret chess techniques.

If one can comprehend and master it, it may greatly increase the power of Yijianshu!
Since Lu Chen got Yijian, in fact, most of the time, he can only simply urge the sword energy to attack the enemy. Although the power is powerful, the method is still too simple, and the shadows can only be used to form formations.

This is obviously not the true power of Yi Jianshu.

It's just because my chess skills are too poor that I can't comprehend and master many mysterious uses.

This Xuanxuan Chess Sutra came at the right time, if he could understand it thoroughly, he would definitely be able to improve his swordsmanship to a higher level, not even weaker than supernatural powers.

"This chess scripture is really good."

Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction, Lin Xiaofan brought him a small surprise this time.

So don't be stingy.

From the storage bag of Taoist Qingfeng, he took out a few spirit stones and bestowed them on, saying: "The snake pill is from refining spirits, so you can't eat too much. In contrast, these spirit stones also contain abundant spirit energy. You are cultivating at the foot of the mountain, and you don't have a blessed place, so your progress will inevitably be slow, so these spirit stones should be your reward."

Things like spirit stones, although they sound quite vulgar.

But in the ordinary world, it is still very rare.

Lin Xiaofan had seen it at that auction before, there was only one piece in total, and countless practitioners spent huge sums of money to fight for it, even with his financial resources, he couldn't buy it.

Fujun's move is a few pieces of spirit stones, the value of which has far exceeded the purchase of chess classics.

He couldn't help being secretly excited, sure enough, as long as he satisfied the Fujun, he could get rewards and benefits, which was more cost-effective than any business.

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

Lin Xiaofan accepted the spirit stone happily, and then said: "By the way, I have already arranged for the construction of the trade road, and the construction will start in a few days. But many people are worried that there are many monsters and monsters in the mountain, so they are afraid to come. As a result, there may be a lack of manpower, so I have to ask the Lord to issue an edict to restrain the creatures in the mountains as much as possible."

Speaking of business, Lu Chen nodded.

The construction of this trade road is a good thing for the benefit of one party, a great merit, he has already agreed to Lin Xiaofan.

So he said: "I will order to restrain the creatures in the mountains, and I will not hinder the construction of the trade roads, but you must also manage your people well, not to disturb the hunting at will, and live in harmony as much as possible. After the trade roads are opened, the mountain people will get rich with this. Planting medicinal herbs to make a profit, no longer need to rely on hunting for a living, and the creatures in the mountains will not be hunted, so that they can last for a long time. As for manpower, you can try it in other villages at the foot of the mountain, or you can recruit it.”

Lu Chen had shown miracles in Yunyang Village before, and with Zhou Changfang operating, as long as Lin Xiaofan followed his order to go, most likely he would get a response.

As a result, the surrounding villages will also respond, and the manpower problem can be solved.

After explaining these things, Lin Xiaofan didn't delay any longer. Before leaving, Lu Chen asked him to pay attention to collecting information about the Sun God Palace.

After all, I have beheaded the disciples of this sect many times, maybe one day I will really match up.

To know something first is to know yourself and the enemy.

Lin Xiaofan has stepped into practice now. Although his strength is still very low, he can barely get in touch with the world of practitioners. It shouldn't be a big problem to inquire about some news.

"Don't worry, Fujun, I will take your order to heart."

Lin Xiaofan agreed, then got up and left.

When he was going out, he happened to meet Yinhu flying over from the mountains and forests. Seeing the raging flames on his body and the shining divine light, he couldn't help being envious again.

"This big tiger has also been subdued by the Fujun? It's really a blessing to be able to follow the Fujun from time to time and listen to his teachings... But after doing this calculation, wouldn't I have gained another second senior brother? Hey, when will the Fujun be able to truly understand?" recognize me..."

Lin Xiaofan sighed, didn't stop, turned around and went down the mountain.

This Hushan Jun's temper is different from that of the Golden Snake. He has learned it before, and he has eaten many people before, so he dare not provoke him.

At this moment.

Lu Chen got up, and was planning to go back to study the function of the earth spirit hairpin in the jade talisman, so as to try to refine the earth element rune in the five element seal.

But Yinhu flew and landed in the courtyard.

At this time, although it was still covered in flames, the fur on its head was wet, and there was still blood flowing on its right leg, as if it had been injured.

On its back, there was also an unconscious monk.

"How is this going?"

Lu Chen asked with a frown.

Hearing the sound, Yinhu lifted the monk with his mana first, and put the monk on the ground, then he replied: "I was ordered by the lord to go to Jingniang Lake to investigate. I never thought that I would meet this monk and that long-lived monk. Madam fought, and the monk was defeated, so he wanted to run away. I thought, this person might know some news, so I caught him halfway, but when I was running away, I was chased by Mrs. Changsheng, and I was slightly injured. No problem..."

Yinhu explained the incident concisely and clearly.

Hearing this, Lu Chen looked down at the monk.

He looked to be about 30 years old, dressed in a moon-white monk robe, with rosary beads hanging around his neck, his face was like a crown jade, with a solemn treasure appearance, and there was a cinnabar brand on the center of his eyebrows, he looked good on the surface.

I just don't know which temple the monk is from.

Lu Chen didn't know much about Buddhism, so he couldn't see the origin of this person, but he was able to compete with Mrs. Changsheng and still have a chance to escape. He must be an eminent monk with successful practice.

You should be able to get some useful information from him.

Thinking of this, he said to Yinhu: "Since that's the case, let's put the monk here first. Xia Xueyi is in charge of guarding him. You go back to the cave to heal your wounds first. I will take care of the rest."

"Yes!"

Yinhu agreed, not talking nonsense, and flew directly into the forest and returned to Qingyang Cave Mansion.

Mrs. Changsheng's cultivation base is extremely high, and her methods are ruthless. Although she only had a face-to-face encounter with her, she also suffered a big loss. The injury is not serious, but it is not serious. It is best to return to the cave to recuperate and recover.
