Facing Li Youyou's doubts, Xie Jinglin straightened his face, pursed his lips, put down the snacks in his hand, and looked at her steadily.
"I eat these foods because I need them, not because I am greedy," he said.
Li Youyou curled her lips to express her doubt about this statement.
She had met many people in Xuanbu, but she had never seen anyone who could eat as much as Xie Jinglin. Moreover, when he ate the food, it was obvious that he really enjoyed it, and everyone around him could feel it.
He didn't get angry when he saw her expression, but just continued to explain.
"I have practiced a special technique called the Taotie Qi Transformation Technique. This technique can transform the food in the stomach into spiritual energy, greatly improving my cultivation."
"That's why I don't gain weight even though I eat so much." Xie Jinglin said.
His words now sound somewhat credible. Li Youyou's eyes lit up: "Can I also practice this technique?"
Xie Jinglin looked at her and shook his head: "This technique can only be practiced by people in our Xie family, and cannot be taught to outsiders."
Li Youyou said "oh" and didn't feel anything except that it was a pity. After all, these big families did have a lot of rules, which were completely different from those of small families.
...
...
Seeing that she believed him, Xie Jinglin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the snacks again and started eating, his mouth never idle at all.
Li Youyou didn't think it was a big deal this time. She even thought that the genius was worthy of being a genius. He was practicing martial arts all the time and was different from ordinary people like them. It was really amazing.
When the car arrived at Luling Mountain, Xie Jinglin had finished his food. As soon as the two got off the car, he narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath to feel it.
"Why is it like this? Is there something wrong on the mountain?" Li Youyou asked.
She looked around with a serious face, fearing that some ferocious beast would suddenly jump out.
"No, on the contrary, the energy of Luling Mountain feels very pure to me. Practicing here should achieve twice the result with half the effort." Xie Jinglin said.
But then he added, "There are obviously no mountain gods in modern society, but what about Luling Mountain? Is there really a god?"
Just as Xie Jinglin finished speaking, they heard the sound of a car approaching from behind. They turned around and saw a black Cayenne stopped behind them and Xu Jinghuai got out of the car.
"You are here too," he said.
Li Youyou looked at him in surprise: "Emperor Xu, why did you come to Luling Mountain if you didn't stay with Sister Tang?"
What a great group! I didn't expect to meet you here.
Xu Jinghuai said: "Last night, Tangtang was sober for a few minutes and said the three words 'Lu Lingshan' to me, and then he returned to his dull look."
"I think she wouldn't tell me about Luling Mountain for no reason. She probably wants me to come here to find clues that can make her sober up completely."
Xie Jinglin nodded, with surprise in his eyes: "Su Tang is more powerful than I thought, and he can still wake up. Come with us to the mountain."
"Okay." Xu Jinghuai agreed.
The three of them set off together.
There were many small animals on Luling Mountain, and they were not afraid of them at all. When they passed by, the small animals chirped something and pointed at the three humans with their hands.
The three of them walked up the mountain. Xie Jinglin held the compass in his hand, but did not find anything wrong.
Two monkeys suddenly stopped in front of the three people, grasping the vines. They held bananas and peaches in their hands and presented them to Xu Jinghuai like treasures.
“Chirp!”
"Is it for me?" Xu Jinghuai asked in surprise.
The monkeys were indeed very human-like. After hearing this, they nodded and chirped twice. Only then did he take the fruit from their hands.
The monkey left happily. Li Youyou was stunned and said, "Actor Xu's charm is so great that even the monkey can't resist it!"
Xu Jinghuai's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and he actually felt that the fruit in his hand became a little hot.
Xie Jinglin shook his head: "The animals in Luling Mountain are a little too friendly to us. Maybe it's because of Su Tang?"
He said to Li Youyou: "You always say that she has a close relationship with the Luling Mountain God. Maybe we have been touched by her aura, so these animals like us as well."
"Xu Jinghuai spent the longest time with Su Tang, so naturally he has the most of her presence."
Li Youyou nodded, feeling that this did make sense.
Xu Jinghuai knew this very well. He put the bananas and peaches in his backpack and said, "Keep going."
Xie Jinglin looked into his backpack thoughtfully for a few seconds, and Li Youyou took a breath of cold air. Could this guy want other people’s fruits?
She quickly pulled his arm and walked forward, with a kind smile on her face: "You ate a lot just now, you should have enough energy, you don't need to eat anymore, right?"
Xie Jinglin didn't understand. He was just thinking about the Luling Mountain God and had no other intentions at all.
"I don't want to eat anymore," he said.
Li Youyou let out a sigh of relief after hearing this, and finally felt a little relieved about him. It seemed that this man had some sense.
The three of them continued to move forward. At this moment, at the top of Luling Mountain, Su Tang was tied in the air by black chains, and in front of her was a churning black swamp.
Her soul was slowly lowered by the chains, and her entire soul was immersed in the black swamp. At the same time, the golden divine power was transformed bit by bit by the swamp and slowly stolen away.
Su Tang didn't know what happened. When she woke up, she found herself in this damn place.
She knew what the person behind the scenes wanted to do. After draining her divine power, he would use the black swamp to destroy her soul.
However, in addition to divine power, Su Tang also has the power of faith. Because of his celebrity fame, many ordinary people now believe in the Lu Ling Mountain God.
Therefore, even if it is small, the power of faith will continue to flow in every day, so these black swamps cannot hold her back.
Her life safety would not be in jeopardy for the time being, but Su Tang could not leave and was forced to stay in this haunted place. Moreover, an unpleasant voice would appear from time to time, hitting her mentally.
Just like now.
Su Tang clenched his teeth, enduring great pain, and the male voice he had heard in recent days rang in his ears again.
"Are you tired? If it hurts, you can end your life. If I were you, I would never live again."
"Although a good death is worse than a miserable life, Su Tang, can you endure being tied up here like this for the rest of your life? Can you stand the loneliness?"
"It won't be long before the outside world changes drastically. Your boyfriend will look for another woman because he can't wake you up. Your family will cry every day, waiting for you to wake up."
"But, you and I both know that you will never wake up. If that's the case, you might as well just commit suicide. At least, it will stop your family from thinking about you."
The voice kept chattering in his ears, and all its words were guiding, but Su Tang was not affected at all.
After all, her soul is extremely powerful.
"If you can't kill me, it proves that I will escape one day." Su Tang said coldly.
