Chapter 9
The moonlight fell on the water surface of Juyin Pool, floating and sinking.
Su Chen stared at Xiaoqian who had returned, and she looked a little ashamed, and lowered her head and said, "Old ancestor, I am not good at doing things, so I did not send my visit to Lanruo Temple."
"What happened to you?" Su Chen asked softly without being angry.
Seeing that the ancestor did not blame him, Xiaoqian felt relieved, "I went down the mountain and headed straight to Lanruo Temple. Before I entered the door, I suddenly noticed a group of practitioners approaching. I kept in mind the ancestor's instructions and avoid causing trouble. So I hid aside first.
They clamored and said something, and I listened to a few words. It turned out that they were from the Emei Sect. The elders in the sect found that a strange treasure was born near Lanruo Temple, so they asked them to come and get rid of the demons in Lanruo Temple.
Because I was afraid of the troubles and did not dare to get too close, I didn’t hear more.”
"Is Emei?" Su Chen slowly chewed these two words in his heart.
In the memory of the ancestor Heishan, Emei is a different branch of the Shushan Sword Sect. This sect is mixed with monks and Taoists, and is also unique in the world of practice. Although it is not orthodox Taoism, it is also famous.
It can be considered that a practitioner who has a strange treasure in Lanruo Temple recently was born, and naturally he has a great understanding of the Tao.
Unfortunately, the original Black Mountain ancestor was not good at Tianji numerology, and Su Chen didn't know this, otherwise it could be verified.
Fortunately, Su Chen has a mysterious feeling of thought.
Mysterious thoughts have warnings of danger. Although they are not as good as predicting the future, if there is something that endangers life, they will be able to sense it in advance.
In the term "Xuanmen", it is called "on a whim".
Su Chen had the idea of going down the mountain to Lanruo Temple to find out the truth. After a long time, no dangerous warning occurred.
He was sure in his heart that it seemed feasible to go down the mountain.
On the other hand, Xiaoqian was able to hide around this group of practitioners, which shows that their wisdom was limited, and at least it could not threaten him.
Besides, Lan Ruo Temple is just under his nose. Since a strange treasure has been born, it is really unreasonable if he doesn't go and take a look.
There is a saying that God will not take it, and you will suffer the consequences.
To practice, you must be patient and seize opportunities.
Anyway, his original plan was to go down the mountain.
Su Chen pondered for a while, and said indifferently to Xiaoxue and Xiaoqian: "You guys should guard the cave and I'll go to Lanruo Temple to have a look."
"Sister obeys the order."
Then Xiaoxue put on a black coat on Su Chen and tidied up Su Chen's appearance.
After everything was done, Su Chen disappeared in the Heishan Cave.
The pool is quiet and the breeze is swaying.
Xiaoqian's bright eyes were shining and asked Xiaoxue curiously: "Sister Xiaoxue, have you ever seen the scene where the ancestor took action?"
She was very regretful.
Because Xiaoqian felt that the ancestor would definitely use the big demon's methods to go down the mountain, so the scene must be quite large.
Xiaoxue pondered: "To be honest, I have never seen it. I started by following the ancestor, and the ancestor only took action once."
Xiaoqian couldn't help but say, "Is it because of the time the ancestor was injured?"
Xiaoxue nodded slightly, "When that battle happened, the ancestor closed the cave, so we didn't have the chance to see it. Later, the ancestor returned to the house and closed the door. As for the final analysis of the battle, we naturally didn't dare to ask."
Xiaoqian was a little disappointed and said, "I heard that the man who fought with the ancestor was a Taoist monk, and it is said that he is very powerful."
Xiaoxue said softly: "That monk called the 'Xinglun King'. He is not ordinary. He is a powerful man in the West. The helm of Daxueshan Temple is not much inferior to the head of the Central Earth Cultivation Sect. However, in the past century, no one has come to Daxueshan Temple. I think the Xinglun King was seriously injured by the ancestor."
Xiaoqian couldn't help but be fascinated, "It seems that the battle must be very exciting, but unfortunately we didn't catch up."
Xiaoxue tapped Xiaoqian's forehead with her fingers and smiled, "Do you want to go down the mountain to see the ancestor's method?"
"I think, but the ancestor didn't let us go with him, so how dare I go down the mountain?"
"You still know the general idea. We are all dependent on the vines of the ancestor. All we can do is try not to cause trouble for the ancestor. You must keep this in mind." Xiaoxue's expression was quiet.
Xiaoqian smiled, "I can't afford to live a peaceful and beautiful life today. It's the happiest time since I became a ghost. Xiaoqian will never break it anyway."
Xiaoxue nodded gently and muttered in her heart, "If you can always follow the ancestor, what can you ask for if you are old and old?"
…
…
Su Chen appeared not far from Lanruo Temple. This was the first time he had traveled through time and set foot on the land outside Black Mountain.
He knew that this place was very big and tempting, but he resisted the desire to see the ultimate.
More than eighty years have passed, much longer than his previous life.
Only he knows how much loneliness and pain he endured in order to heal his wounds.
But he knew that these pain and loneliness were worth it.
The power of the power of the Buddha is less than a cup of tea, and it appears a hundred miles away, rides the wind and controls the energy, and is free in the world.
How could he do this in his previous life?
The feeling of being powerful to oneself is really not enough to express.
There was a long-lost excitement in his heart. Su Chen did not rush forward, and slowly calmed down the waves in his heart. At this moment, he was more like a person.
The ancestor of Heishan Mountain was transformed into a petrified mountain. Over time, Su Chen was inevitably contaminated with the character of stone and his emotional fluctuations were very small.
At this moment, the feeling of being a human comes back again.
Then he focused on the front, and the scene of Lanruo Temple was somewhat different from that in his memory. Many dark trees grew inside and outside the temple.
There were no leaves, under the dim sky, the branches swayed like hands, looking weird.
Su Chen also smelled the smell of blood and the stale smell of the corpse.
He walked into the old woods ahead, and Lanruo Temple appeared and loomed in it.
The path in the forest is gloomy and long, and the trees beside the path make crying sounds.
At some point, a tree's branches stretched towards Su Chen. Su Chen seemed to sense it and looked back.
The demonic power naturally gathers in the eyes.
This is not a tree, it is clearly a dead person.
The branch that stretches over is its hand.
Su Chen didn't do anything.
When his eyes containing demonic power fell on the branches, Su Chen's temperament changed, and the peaceful aura of his eyes disappeared, becoming cold and cruel, as if the great devil king who was sleeping in the Nine Nethers woke up, he glanced at the ignorant Guimu indifferently and ruthlessly.
The living branch was immediately frightened and quickly fell on the ground to crawl, and the trunk bent towards Su Chen, like a humble servant, bowing towards Su Chen.
This is the instinct of monsters and ghosts. It understood in an instant that Su Chen is an extremely terrifying demon king and must not be provoked.
Su Chen slowly withdrew his gaze, and his body exuded a faint demonic power, walking leisurely in the dark ghost forest.
He was so leisurely, as if he was not walking around a ghost forest, but strolling in his own garden.
Wherever he passed, the shadows of trees were swaying. If someone looked over carefully, he could feel that ghost trees were bowing to Su Chen, greeting the demons of all kinds, and bowing their heads to come here.
Su Chen walked to the entrance of the temple and saw a lot of rust on the copper ring on it, and it was obvious that someone had touched it not long ago.
He blew a light breath, and the temple door creaked and slowly opened.
Lanruo Temple is built very magnificently with many temples.
Su Chen walked straight along the way and saw a house located beside the bamboo forest, with lights on inside.
He did not deliberately cover up the sound of footsteps.
For a moment, the five or six doors that were on the lights opened, and more than a dozen people appeared with white lanterns. They all shone the white light emitted by the lanterns towards Su Chen.
They looked a little solemn at first, but they breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Su Chen's figure.
One of the young Taoist priests asked, "What kind of sect are you from?"
How dare ordinary people come in this ghost place?
Even if they couldn't see Su Chen's origin for a while, they believed that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Su Chen, no sect or sect." Su Chen glanced at him and said lightly.
