Chapter 23: Settling down at the bottom of the cliff and settling in the underworld (please recommend monthly tickets and read on!)

Zhenyan, a man over two meters tall with a strong build, looked pitiful at this moment.

A look of regret unconsciously appeared on his face.

But he realized that he might never be able to return to the mountain gate again.

So what were you doing earlier?
Lu Chen knew that he was worried, so he didn't try to persuade him. Instead, he thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zhenyan, if you don't want to go back to Lingtai, I have a way."

"what?"

Zhenyan asked anxiously.

Lu Chen said: "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain is just one of the mountains. You can find a mountaintop, build a hut and live there, and practice with all your heart. It will be the same as it was in the past, but you will just have to move the place of practice from inside the mountain gate to outside this mountain gate. Just tell your brothers who will come down the mountain to buy things in the future, and don't tell others about your departure from the mountain."

Zhenyan thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, but he just didn't go to listen to the master's teachings.

However, to be honest, he really couldn't understand what the master was saying, and he was always among those who fell asleep.

The knot in my heart was untied, and the truth was no longer mentioned.

"Junior brother, that...the thing you taught me..."

Zhenyan scratched his head embarrassedly and mentioned asking Lu Chen to teach him again.

"You said that you have demonic power and want to control it?" Lu Chen asked after thinking for a while.

Zhenyan nodded: "Brother Zhinan mentioned that the demon power of monsters is also transformed by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. It is actually the same as the magic power cultivated by cultivators like us. It's just that the monsters' cultivation has mixed blood and qi, so the demon power is also polluted and no longer as wonderful as that of immortals. But I think the demon power can be controlled."

You're quite quick-witted in this regard.

"I don't understand how demonic power works."

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "How about this, after I return to the mountain, I will go and ask Senior Brother Huizhi."

"I've asked, but Senior Brother Huizhi couldn't answer either." Zhenyan sighed.

He had already asked all the questions that Senior Brother Yamanaka could ask.

But all to no avail.

Although demonic power and magical power are essentially the same power, they are after all from different systems.

That's right, he left the mountain when he had no other choice.

Lu Chen: "How can we know if we don't try? I'll go ask and I can also check the classics and essays."

Lu Chen did not ask the master for help.

Generally speaking, the ancestors would disappear after they started preaching.

The door at the back was not something that an ordinary disciple like him could enter.

What should I do if I really make Master Subhuti unhappy?
After all, since Zhenyan couldn't see the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, it must have been blocked by the ancestor on his own initiative.

Lu Chen is not a monkey, and he is not qualified to sneak in through the back door to see the ancestor.

Zhenyan thanked him and didn't mention it anymore.

Then the two of them agreed on a time to meet here again three days later.

Zhenyan walked away thoughtfully, looking back every few steps.

Lu Chen naturally ignored him and went straight into the mountain gate, completely disappearing from Zhenyan's sight.

……

Zhenyan and Zhenkun's departure from the mountain was just a small episode in the mountains.

It seems that many people know that Zhen Kun has left the mountain, but they just don’t pay much attention to it.

Everyone disliked him in the first place, so whether he left or not didn't matter at all, and it wouldn't cause any changes in anyone's Taoism.

That afternoon, Zhenruo, the third disciple of the Zhen generation, took over the task of going down the mountain to purchase things.

This is a very skinny brother, less than 1.7 meters tall, and he looks like he has very little flesh on his body. His presence is not very high on weekdays, and he mainly practices the art of meditation, but also practices meditation as a supplement.

"Brother Zhenruo... can you take on this ability?"

Lu Chen had a strange look on his face as he thought about Senior Brother Zhenruo's body, which seemed to fall down at the slightest gust of wind.

Especially this name, Zhenruo, really weak... It really makes people feel that he can go up and down the mountain gate.

Mountain climbing is not an easy job.

Upon hearing this, Zhen An spat out the water he had drunk.

He stared at Lu Chen with wide eyes: "Junior Brother Ruchen, if you don't want to get up in the middle of the night and walk to Qingming Cliff in a daze, don't say such things."

Lu Chen was puzzled: "Why?"

Zhen'an looked around like a thief, which made Lu Chen even more curious about this senior brother who seemed inconspicuous in daily life.

"Brother Zhenruo's main training is in illusion. Without mana, it is impossible to see through his illusions! In the past, Zhenkun had led him into the sect and humiliated his body in many ways. However, after he mastered his illusions, he led him to Qingming Cliff in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the brothers who were gathering the energy of the yin to practice on Qingming Cliff at that time, Zhenkun would have settled down at the bottom of the cliff by now!"

Lu Chen looked strange: "Senior brother... is also funny."

Settle down at the bottom of the cliff?

That's more like settling down, and it also includes the household registration in the underworld.

However, doesn’t magic require any magic power to perform?

Lu Chen had never practiced magic, but he didn't know. He thought that Senior Brother Zhenruo should also be a genius in some aspect.

"Is private fighting allowed in the mountains?" Lu Chen asked.

Zhen An shook his head directly: "This is definitely not allowed, but Zhen Kun relied on the protection of ghosts and gods and told Zhen Ruo that he could take revenge at any time."

It's your own fault.

Lu Chen nodded and said nothing more.

Then he took out the silver he got from Zhen Kun and said, "Brother, this is my food and meals. Please hand it over together when the time comes."

Zhenan didn't answer it: "No need."

Lu Chen was stunned: "Why?"

Zhen'an said, "Brother Guangming and his companions came down the mountain and beat back the demons. The wealthy families down there have pooled their money together. I estimate that we won't have to worry about spending money for the next few years. Also, we don't need to go down the mountain to buy things in the future. There will be people down there to deliver them to the mountain gate. We just need to tell Brother Zhenruo what food we need and have him record it down."

Lu Chen looked at the silver in his hand and fell silent.

Then why did I go out and chase Zhenkun?
After chatting with Zhen An for a while, Lu Chen went to the Dharma Practice Hall.

Senior Brother Huizhi was reading a book in front of the Dharma Study Hall.

Seeing Lu Chen coming, he put down the book and waved to Lu Chen with a smile: "Ruchen, you came at the right time. I was just thinking about when to go find you."

"Brother, what do you want to see me about?" Lu Chen asked.

Huizhi took out a booklet from under the book he was reading and said, "I heard from Zhen Anxian that you were studying magic. I just happen to have a book called "Detailed Explanation of Magic" here. Take it and have a look."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Lu Chen's eyes lit up and he took the "Detailed Explanation of Spells" but did not open it.

"Magic is only the branches and leaves of a big tree, cultivation is the main trunk, and polishing the root of life is the foundation."

Huizhi added another sentence.

He was afraid that Lu Chen would spend too much energy on studying magic and go astray.

Tempering your life and nature is the true practice, while magic is only used to protect the way.
