The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 59: The smell of meat fills the air

After collecting the source stone which still had some energy left underground, Liu Shan pushed the door and walked out of the secret room.

Gently breathing in the fresh air in the mountain village and looking at the busy people in front of him, Liu Shan felt relaxed and enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation.

He gently exhaled the turbid air in his body and walked quickly towards the place where Ye Fan was in seclusion.

The door was still closed, it seemed that Ye Fan was still practicing. Liu Shan did not dare to disturb him and quietly left.

Now that the Black Emperor hasn’t shown up, things are a little difficult?
Is the beast shadow that Master Zhang Wu saw the Black Emperor?
If it is, then just hang it out. If it is not, then how do you find it?

Does Ye Fan have to rely on it to find the Western Emperor Sutra that he needs?

Liu Shan just felt a headache now. He had thought that he would be able to see the Black Emperor when he arrived at Zhangjiazhai, and then trick it into leading the way to the Yaochi Ancient Land, but now his plan was disrupted.

Now I can only vaguely remember that the ancient land of Yao Chi is near the Taichu ancient mine.

I don't know the exact directions. In the original text, did they enter through a dog hole? Or a well?

It seems to be a well! It came out through a dog hole. I really can't remember such small details.

Without the Black Emperor leading the way, it would be difficult to find the Yaochi Ancient Land. Then how can Ye Fan obtain the Western Emperor Sutra?
Should I ask the people of Yaochi Holy Land? Should I ask others about the ancestral land?
Most people wouldn't tell him! On the contrary, it would alert the enemy, and everyone would know that this person was asking about his ancestral land, and he must be going to the ancestral land to do something bad.

What a headache. Liu Shan could only hope that the dark shadow lingering near Zhangjiazhai was the Black Emperor.

I asked Master Zhang Wu again about the place where the black beast shadow had appeared before.

Liu Shan began to perform the secret art of passing time. A divine light flashed, carrying a long flaming tail, carrying Liu Shan, and quickly disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Shan had arrived at the forest dozens of miles away.

Looking at the dense jungle below, Liu Shan felt a headache again. He was afraid of trouble. Now he had to find a big black dog in such a dense forest. It was too difficult!
Even if this dog is as big as a calf, if it wants to hide, how can I find it? Liu Shan complained in his heart.

Liu Shan sighed again, "Do your best."

Liu Shan did not continue flying, but landed in the jungle and walked quickly through it.

In the dense jungle, only a colorful light could be seen flashing continuously. Liu Shan kept moving through it without stopping for a moment.

Suddenly, Liu Shan, who was driving at high speed, vaguely heard a roar coming from the front.

Liu Shan's mind moved, and out of curiosity, he ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Shan was already standing on a tree branch several dozen meters high. He looked down with interest and saw a giant python circling a black giant bear. The roar came from below.

The python was tense and trying to strangle the bear. The bear tried to tear the python off its body, but it had no strength and could only keep hitting the ground and the surrounding trees, trying to break free from the restraints and injure both parties.

Liu Shan couldn't bear to see the argument continue. A golden light flew out from his hand, flew down quickly, and turned into a huge star.

The stars turned slightly, and a huge pressure emanated from them.

The giant python and the giant bear were directly pressed into the ground, and then the stars shook slightly, and the surrounding air was deprived. The air around the bodies of the two giant beasts disappeared, and the two giant beasts could only suffocate to death.

Liu Shan flew down lightly and collected the dead python. At the same time, he used a magic weapon to cut off the two huge claws of the black bear.

"Whether we can lure out the Black Emperor depends on whether these two bear paws are tasty."

The broken wood that was hit by the giant beast was brought in. Before the broken wood approached Liu Shan, it was divided into a pile of wood. A flame fell from the void and ignited the wood.

A ball of clear water emerged in the void. The fur on the giant palm had fallen off, leaving only flesh and blood, soaked in the clear water. The clear water began to rotate, cleaning the blood stains on the giant palm.

Liu Shan's mind moved, and all this was accomplished in an instant.

The giant palm skewered the stick and began to roast it over the flames.

Although Liu Shan himself could not cook or grill, this giant palm still gave off a meaty aroma under the grilling flames.

Liu Shan guessed that it was because the bear paws belonged to spiritual beasts, so with just a little processing, they could be comparable to the most delicious delicacies.

Liu Shan smelled the meaty aroma and began to cast a spell in secret, allowing the aroma to continue to spread far away. After a while, many monsters came over after smelling the aroma.

They were all secretly watching Liu Shan, not daring to approach easily. Each of them was a demon beast, and they had already awakened their spiritual intelligence. Looking at the giant hand being roasted, they all knew that Liu Shan was not easy to mess with, but when they smelled the meaty aroma from their noses, their eyes turned red and they became restless.

Liu Shan scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense, but did not see the big black dog as big as a calf, and was extremely disappointed.

It seems that Heihuang is not here. Liu Shan began to slowly put away the roasted giant palm, intending to return to Zhangjiazhai to enjoy it with everyone.

Liu Shan's action of cleaning up the barbecue aroused the anger of a giant beast. It could no longer control its inner desire and pounced towards Liu Shan.

It turned out to be a giant wolf with gray fur. Seeing it coming alone, Liu Shan guessed that it must be a lone wolf that was expelled from the wolf pack. However, the fact that it dared to attack Liu Shan had already sealed its fate.

Liu Shan just stared at it. Energy in the void began to gather, and a seed emerged from the energy. The seed began to grow larger, slowly sprouted, and then quickly grew into a flower. The petals were covered with dense Taoist symbols.

The flower gently opened and bloomed, and the giant wolf just happened to pounce and rushed into the middle of the flower. The flower closed, and the giant wolf had no chance to struggle, and was killed instantly by the Flower of Avenue.

"I've harvested another giant beast. When I return to Zhangjiazhai next time, I'll have more food." Liu Shan said to himself, then turned and glanced deep into the jungle, keeping a close eye on his giant beasts.

When the giant beasts saw Liu Shan's gaze coming over, they were so scared that they turned around and fled.

Liu Shan just shrugged, just to scare the beasts. Three beasts are enough for everyone in Zhangjiazhai to eat, come back tomorrow!
Liu Shan quickly disappeared from the spot. A divine light flashed across the sky, and Liu Shan flew towards Zhangjiazhai.

The divine light fell on Zhangjiazhai, and Liu Shan returned to Zhangjiazhai in just a cup of tea.

Liu Shan found Master Zhang Wu again, "Master Zhang Wu, I went to look for that big black dog today, but I couldn't find it. Can you tell me in more detail what you saw of that big black dog?"

Uncle Zhang Wu frowned and was thinking hard.

"I saw that black shadow several times. It seemed to be in the village every time. It only appeared after the hunters came back. But each time it was just a black shadow that flashed by. I mobilized everyone to look for it, but we couldn't find it. After going back and forth several times, I found that it didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, and we couldn't find it, so we stopped looking for it."

"What do you want to see it for?" Uncle Zhang Wu looked at Liu Shan curiously.

"I have no ill will towards it. I just want to ask it something. It seems to have come out of the Purple Mountain and knows a lot of secrets." Liu Shan did not tell the truth to Master Zhang Wu, but just made up an excuse.

Zhang Wuye nodded after hearing this. "Then I'll ask everyone to be more careful. I'll tell you when I see a shadow," Liu Shan nodded gratefully to Zhang Wuye.

Liu Shan guessed that Hei Huang was observing Master Zhang Wu nearby.

This big black dog is so smart! It probably plans to settle down in Zhangjia Village. After all, this is the village closest to Zishan, where it can keep an eye on the situation of Zishan.

Moreover, there are no cultivators in Zhangjiazhai. At most, there are some guys who have just started practicing. It is very safe here.

Even though I have been paying attention to it for a long time, the Black Emperor has not appeared. I guess it is looking for a suitable opportunity!

Even if this is really the case, Liu Shan cannot just sit there and wait. He has to take the initiative to find the whereabouts of the Black Emperor.

There was no point in thinking too much, so Liu Shan came to the center of the village and took out three giant beasts.

"Boom!" Three giant beasts fell to the ground, and smoke and dust rose up.

The people around were all stunned by the sight before them. Normally, the village had a special hunting team, but they only hunted ordinary ferocious beasts every time. These three were not like these, each of which was bigger than ordinary people could understand.

Liu Shan ignored everyone's surprised looks, laughed loudly, and greeted everyone.

"Stop watching, come and help us clean these beasts. Our fur can be tanned into leather armor, and our meat can be peeled off. We will have a bonfire party tonight!"

Liu Shan ordered everyone to start dealing with the three giant beasts. Liu Shan did not intend to do it himself.

Seeing everyone discussing enthusiastically how to deal with the giant beast, Liu Shan felt very satisfied and happy.

In Zhangjiazhai, try to use less monk methods.

You can truly experience the life of an ordinary person. Although it is very convenient for Liu Shan to use his divine power to deal with these monsters, it will reduce a lot of the fun of life and you will not feel like you are enjoying life.
