Volume 1: Lighting Mountains and Rivers Chapter 6 Deep in the Bamboo Forest
In the light gray-white mist, there are many thin yellow-green bamboos standing in the forest. There is no wind blowing around, but the bamboo body is swaying gently. The "rustling" sound made by countless bamboo leaves rubbing against each other makes the scene in front of me even more interesting.
Adding a bit of weirdness.
Ji Yuan glanced around. If he remembered correctly, he had seen this bamboo forest on the cliff in the distance. At that time, he could even see a few relatively grand houses in the depths of it.
If the prediction is correct, those houses should be where the sects that practice here are located, and they are also the place where the Yin Qi of Luohun Slope is the most prosperous and thick.
Precisely because of this, when the little Taoist priest found himself outside the bamboo forest, his face became a little ugly. After all, this is the place where evil spirits are most likely to breed in the 'Luohun Slope'.
.
A 'Charm to Exorcise Evil and Avoid Ghosts' was activated, and three halos of light suddenly appeared in the air, two of which were facing left and right, and the frequency of flashing was not too fast.
Only a halo of light faced forward, shining crazily with a faint light under Ji Yuan's ugly face.
There was no need for him to think about it. There must be ghosts ahead, but he didn't understand. He had used the 'Exorcism and Ghost Talisman' to explore the way and avoid the direction where there were evil ghosts. Why did he end up here?
But before he could figure out what to do, a straight path in front of him suddenly lit up dark green flames out of thin air, extending into the depths of the bamboo forest in two rows on the left and right.
You can vaguely see what appears to be a huge object shrouded in night at the end of the path.
It was obvious that someone deep in the bamboo forest had sensed his arrival, otherwise such a situation would not have appeared in front of him. It was completely inviting him in.
At this moment, Ji Yuan's expression changed one after another. He wanted to turn around and walk into the mist and find another way to leave this place. However, when he thought about how he was still led here with the help of a talisman before, he estimated that this idea was unlikely to succeed.
.
As long as he honestly follows this path into the depths of the bamboo forest, it is absolutely impossible. Otherwise, he will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth, and his life and death will be unpredictable.
"Immeasurable God, just stay in the temple and practice. Isn't it good to make elixirs? Why do you have to covet that little money? It's better now. If you can't save your life, you have to lose it here!"
The little Taoist priest's face changed several times, and he regretted that he should not have been greedy for the rewards of those rituals.
The little bit of silver that was withheld was not even as good as the several batches of elixirs he made in daily life. He himself was also fascinated, thinking that he had a few trump cards when he embarked on the path of cultivation, so he began to yearn for the young man with a sword in the story book.
A bridge to travel around the world.
It's better now, I might die here tonight!
Ji Yuan took a deep breath, and after some confusion, his eyes gradually became firmer. Perhaps it was the reason why he was in such a desperate situation, but there was an inexplicable fierceness in his chest.
He no longer hesitated, and simply stepped on the path in front of him, walking towards the depths of the bamboo forest. On the left and right, dark green flames floated in the air, as if he was walking on a road leading to the underworld.
However, although there was an extra sense of courage in his body, he still didn't walk fast, and the distance between each step was not large. It seemed like he was stalling for time.
Taking this opportunity, the little Taoist priest was constantly thinking about various situations that he might encounter later, and at the same time, he was also thinking about his own methods of fighting the enemy.
It's just that the path has an end after all. Not long after, Ji Yuan came to the door of a majestic house and stopped in front of two stone lions.
"What a disaster!"
He looked at the two stone lions on the left and right, and couldn't help but murmured in his heart.
The stone lion that was supposed to guard the house and ward off evil spirits was now only half of its body, and the rest had been broken into countless small stones, scattered on the ground in front of the mansion.
And even the remaining half of the body was already covered with cracks, and there was even a smelly black liquid flowing out of it.
squeak~~~
Just when Ji Yuan was feeling frightened, the closed door suddenly opened, and the friction sound in his ears made his scalp numb, and he almost turned around and ran away.
At this moment, an old woman appeared behind the door, holding a lantern with a bright yellow flame and looking at the young man outside the door with a smile on her face.
"This little Taoist priest, do you want to find a place to rest here late at night?"
The old woman asked aloud. The wrinkles on her face were piled together because of her smile. She looked a bit scary. If it weren't for the evil spirit in the other party, the little Taoist priest would have thrown away the talisman.
"If it's inconvenient, Pindao will just turn around and leave."
Although he didn't understand what the ghost here wanted to do, Ji Yuan could only cooperate with him. If he rashly lifted the table, he would be the only one who would suffer.
At the same time, he also noticed that the other person looked like a normal person, but he turned a blind eye to the two stone lions outside the door and the two rows of dark green firelight on the path, focusing all his attention on him.
"Convenient, convenient. My master is also a Taoist. He once warned that if a Taoist priest comes to visit, he must try his best to provide what he needs."
The old woman smiled and nodded, turned sideways, as if she were a distinguished guest, and then walked towards the house.
When Ji Yuan saw this, he thought for a moment and then followed. Since he had already come to this point, he naturally had no other choice. If he turned around and left, it is estimated that the ghosts in the house would not let him go easily.
Get away.
And just as he followed the old woman into the house, the door behind him slowly closed in the cold wind, and even the heavy door latch fell on its own.
The little Taoist priest was not surprised by this scene. He had seen too many strange things tonight, so naturally he would not be too concerned about it.
At this time, the stooped old woman was leading the way with a lantern. After walking through the empty front yard, she took Ji Yuan to the path on the left, passing several verandas and many places along the way.
courtyard.
Along the way, although many rooms in the house were lit with lights and lanterns were hung under the eaves, Ji Yuan saw no one else except the old woman in front of him.
Not to mention the servants who are always ready to be sent by the master, there is not even a guard martial artist who looks after the house.
Moreover, he clearly remembered that this place should be the location of a practicing sect. When did it turn into a wealthy family living in seclusion?
With full of doubts, the little Taoist followed the old woman to a remote courtyard. From the bamboo forest outside the high wall, it could be seen that this should be the edge of the house.
"Sir, my wife has already gone to bed. Without the consent of the master, I naturally cannot arrange to go to the room. I can only tolerate the little Taoist priest and spend the night here."
The old woman bowed and said apologetically.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan just smiled and shook his head, but did not speak. He looked at the person in front of him quietly.
He wanted to see what kind of drama the ghost in the house planned to play.
However, the old woman did not feel any discomfort towards the young man's rude behavior, and there was no other strange color on her face. After confessing her sin many times, she slowly left the courtyard.
After watching the rickety figure and the faint glow of fire go away, Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, then came to the small house not far away and pushed the door open directly.
Not long after, an oil lamp was lit. Although the bright fire was not strong, it was enough to illuminate the room. This chapter has been completed!
