Chapter 412: Master Shan

The men kept their knives close to them and found some dry firewood from the temple. They cleaned up the broken stones and tiles and cleared a space. The three warriors retreated to the side. The man in the Qi Refining Realm walked to the middle, took out a talisman paper from his arms, and lit it with his spiritual power.

Then he respectfully bowed to the four directions, chanting something.

Chen Luo listened roughly, and it was nothing more than some apologies and thanks, apologizing to the mountain monsters and thanking the land god for taking them in.

After doing this, the four dared to light the firewood.

When the fire lit up, the four of them relaxed a lot. They sat around the fire and ate dry food. The three men took off their clothes and put them by the fire to dry. The woman also took off her coat and changed into a relatively dry one.

After resting for a while and regaining some energy, the men started talking.

"Brother Qiao, what was that shadow just now?"

The man surnamed Qiao was the Qi Refining Realm cultivator that Chen Luo sensed. He subconsciously glanced at Chen Luo, and when he saw that he did not move, he lowered his voice and said.

"That thing is the subordinate of Master Shan. We entered the mountain without paying respects, which is a taboo in itself."

"But Xiaosong has no time left. If we waste any more time, he will be dead."

The woman's face was full of worry. They ventured into the mountain just to save her brother Xiaosong.

"I know that too. If it weren't for Xiaosong, I wouldn't take this risk." The man surnamed Qiao sighed. He owed the woman's family a favor before.

He had no choice but to agree to accompany them into the mountain.

The woman and the remaining two men were from Xingjia Village at the foot of the mountain. The woman's name was Xing Mei, and the other two were her brothers. The Xiaosong she mentioned was her biological brother Xing Song.

The few of them chatted for a few more sentences, and the topic slowly turned to 'Master Shan'.

Chen Luo didn't care.

He never knew the rule that fires cannot be lit in the mountains, and he never took it to heart. For him now, any mountain spirit or monster can be crushed to death with one hand as long as it dares to show its head. When he lit the fire earlier, the so-called "mountain master" did not come out to curse him. Not only that, the wild pheasant he roasted on the fire was also hunted in the mountains and forests, and he did not give the mountain master any face at all.

Chen Luo slowly finished eating the roast chicken, thinking about finding someone to test the elixir and using the dragon tomb to contact the upper world.

He chose to settle here for a purpose.

This place is very close to the dragon tomb, which is dangerous, but still within the controllable range. After entering here, Chen Luo clearly felt a special force. This force is like an inverted giant net, covering the entire Golden Light Cave. As long as it is a cultivator, entering here will be affected.

The closer you go to the center, the greater the impact.

Chen Luo doesn't know what is in the core of the dragon tomb. But Taixu Patriarch Gu He said before that the seven of them are going to cause disasters.

Chen Luo didn't want to break into the evolutionary tribulation for no reason.

He came here this time to contact the upper realm and find someone to test the pill. Thinking of this, he glanced at the young man next to him.

Qi Refining Level 1, a little bit worse.

The effect of the medicine can't hold up.

The young man next to him naturally didn't know what Chen Luo was thinking. After chatting with the three warriors for a while, he closed his eyes and rested. The previous escape took a lot of energy. Now it's rare to be safe, so naturally you have to rest well.

The three warriors were the same. Under the baking of the campfire, the body temperature slowly rose, and the people were warm and sleepy.

After leaving a night watchman, the remaining two people fell asleep against the wall with peace of mind. The remaining night watchman also kept nodding his head, but he didn't fall down because he was forcing himself to sleep.

I don't know when the rain stopped outside. The mountains were damp and fog soon rose.

Gugu

A strange cry suddenly came from the dark deserted village outside, like the cry of some unknown bird.

"Hmm?"

Chen Luo opened his eyes, his eyes slightly fluctuated.

The spiritual sense spread out, and the surroundings were still the same as before, with no one approaching. But Chen Luo instinctively felt that something was wrong. With his current state, it was absolutely impossible for him to have hallucinations.

The four people next to him had fallen asleep completely.

Three people leaned against the wall, and the remaining night watchman didn't know when he fell asleep. He was still sitting there, holding his sword in his arms. The bonfire next to him made a "crackling" sound, and the crisp sound was particularly clear in the silent night.

Chen Luo got up and walked to the door.

Bang!

The half of the wooden door that was already shaky fell to the ground after he touched it lightly. Strangely, with such a loud noise, the four people in the room were not woken up. They were still sleeping, breathing evenly, and had no intention of waking up at all.

Chen Luo looked outside, his eyes narrowed.

There was nothing in the spiritual sense feedback and vision, but he sensed danger. Something is approaching, and this thing is the same as the ‘heart fire’, which is not ‘visible’.

‘What’s in the dragon tomb? ’

Chen Luo’s pupils slowly changed, and the ghost cultivator Xue Ning’s brain was mobilized, and his vision changed. The originally dark forest turned grayish white.

The ground was black, and the trees were white.

Not only that, Chen Luo also mobilized the perspective of the demon cultivator. Under the perception of the dragon’s brain, some red air masses appeared in the vision. These air masses represent vitality, which is something that only demon cultivators can see.

Gugu

The strange sound sounded again, and this time, the sound appeared behind him.

Chen Luo turned around suddenly and found a green frog's face stuck behind him, with a pair of copper coin-like eyes looking straight at him.

boom! !

The sword light exploded, and a wall of the dilapidated Earth Temple was knocked down by his sword. The altar and broken wood were all swept away by the sword. The sword energy remained unabated after hitting the wall, and blasted out There was a huge gap, and moist breath poured in from the gap.

A long ravine appeared between the two fires.

The ravine created by the sword energy.

After the sword energy dissipated, he looked around again and found that there was no frog-faced man at all.

"Escaped? No."

With Chen Luo's current state, it was naturally impossible to misunderstand him. The frog-faced man just now was seen by him from the dragon's perspective, which meant that only the demon cultivator could see the thing just now. But why can't the sword energy kill it?

Next time use a chessboard!

The fog outside is getting thicker.

Under the erosion of moisture, the bonfire in the Earth Temple became smaller, and the four sleeping people were as unaware as dead pigs. If he hadn't sensed their lives, Chen Luo would have thought they were dead.

Return to the Earth Temple.

Chen Luo took out the formation flag and placed one next to him. Then he took out a few spiritual talismans and placed them beside him. These talismans were used to deal with demon cultivators and were very sensitive to demonic aura.

I don’t know where the frog-faced man from before came from, but he is certainly not weak in strength.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be discovered by being so close.

The matter of testing the elixir can only be put on hold for the time being, and the problem of the dragon tomb can be clarified first. He felt that he should have found the right direction. The power of the frog-faced man just now was not owned by the Immortal Cultivation World in the Tiannan Region. It was obviously another system.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

I don't know how long it took, but one of the four sleeping people suddenly moved. It was the man named Qiao who was the first level Qi refining immortal cultivator from before.

He twitched first, then opened his eyes blankly.

It wasn't until the cold wind blew that he suddenly woke up.

"Where am I?!"

"woke up?"

Chen Luo said something. The sleeping state of these four people just now was obviously abnormal. It was rare for someone to wake up and ask him what he saw.

"Senior, you."

The man named Qiao was mid-sentence when he suddenly saw the huge ravine on the ground and the disappearing wall behind it. Cold wind blew from the gap, and he swallowed subconsciously.

Was this made by someone?

"I just met a frog-faced man, do you have any impressions?"

Chen Luo was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and asked straight to the point.

Upon hearing the frog-faced man, the man surnamed Qiao's face changed drastically, and the blood on his face disappeared in a flash, and fear filled his entire face.

"It's Master Shan! It must be Master Shan."

Before Chen Luo could ask any more questions, the man named Qiao carefully told what he knew.

"Master Shan is the master of this mountain. I heard from the ancestor that Master Shan was already practicing here when his grandfather was alive. All of us living on this land must follow the rules set by Master Shan. , otherwise you will be punished by Master Shan.”

Ancestors?

In other words, ‘Master Shan’ has stayed in this place for at least three hundred years. If the man named Qiao's ancestor's cultivation level was higher, this time might be even longer.

"You are not allowed to enter the mountain during July, August, and September every year. This is the rule set by the 'Mountain Master'."

The man named Qiao didn't know what Chen Luo was thinking about. After seeing the sword marks on the ground, he already regarded Chen Luo as a life-saving straw and said whatever he knew.

"The four of us are from Xingjia Village at the foot of the mountain. We went into the mountain this time to find the Dream Interpretation Flower for Xiaomei's brother. Before we set off, the village elder told us a fortune telling that our trip would be very bad, but there was a glimmer of hope in the dead end. .”

While the two were talking, the three people next to them also woke up.

Like the man named Qiao, they were also shocked after seeing the sword marks. Xing Mei knelt down and asked Chen Luo for help, hoping that the other party could save his brother's life.

"What is the dream interpretation flower?"

Chen Luo asked. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing as the Dream Interpretation Flower. If it's a spiritual material, there's no reason why people from the Qionghua Sect don't know about it.

"It is a blue flower that blooms at sunset and fades at sunrise. It can only be found in this mountain range."

The man surnamed Qiao quietly pulled Xing Mei up to prevent her behavior from offending this senior. He is an immortal cultivator, so he knows the weirdness of immortal cultivators better than anyone else. The more advanced the seniors are, the more careful they have to be. He took out a small blue flower from the baggage behind him and handed it over respectfully.

Peanut has three petals and five-core stamens.

The color is very bright, as if it was dyed by someone. The moment the man surnamed Qiao took out the Dream Interpretation Flower, the flames in the temple trembled, and the frog-faced man appeared again.

"Master Shan?"

"What!"

The four of them were shocked, and at the same time they turned around and looked in the direction where Chen Luo was speaking.

That place.

Nothing at all.
