Chapter 342 Let’s hunt down those ghosts in the dark together
“Sixth Elder! Sixth Elder!”
“It’s blooming again!”
In Kunlun Baiyujing, on the Baoshu Peak, a little boy in a Taoist robe ran through a path lined with lush vegetation, came to an elegant attic, and shouted loudly.
Inside the attic, several Taoists were talking to each other.
Sitting at the top was a man with white hair and beard but a youthful face. The color of his Taoist robe was different from those of the people around him, and he seemed to be the center of attention.
"It's just that the fairy tree that has not changed for hundreds of years has blossomed after my careful cultivation in just a few years. What's the point of making a fuss?"
The man smiled slightly, as if he was scolding the boy, but his tone was very gentle. At the end, he added: "It's not the first time."
"Yes, I was reckless." The boy bowed his head and admitted his mistake very obediently, then raised his head and said, "I was so happy to see that the fairy tree had bloomed another glass flower that I became anxious. I hope Sixth Elder will not blame me."
"I understand. You go back and look after it first. We don't know what to do with this flower yet, so make sure nothing goes wrong." The Sixth Elder waved his hand.
"That fairy tree has bloomed another precious flower. This is a big event for my Baiyujing." After the boy left, a young Taoist said.
"Yes." Someone else agreed, "The precious flower we found last time was extremely useful. It was said that Dan Ding Pavilion offered a large price to exchange for it, but the headmaster refused because the flower was unique in the world. Who would have thought that the Sixth Elder would cultivate another one in just a few days."
"The Sixth Elder is worthy of being the Sixth Elder. Even if he comes to take charge of Baoshu Peak, he can still make great contributions."
Several disciples spoke one after another and licked the Sixth Elder thoroughly.
“Eh——”
"You can't say that. What's wrong with being in charge of Baoshu Peak? Every Kunlun Peak under my jurisdiction is indispensable."
The Sixth Elder waved his hand and said, "The Second Elder is guarding the demons at Pagoda Peak, the Seventh Elder is tempering his sword will at Sword Pond Peak, and I am looking after the immortal trees at Treasure Tree Peak. Although we have different responsibilities, we all have bright futures!"
"Sixth Elder... your words are truly thought-provoking and make me feel deeply ashamed." Someone else said immediately.
"The Sixth Elder's vision is truly enough for a disciple to learn from for a lifetime."
"Yes, back then the Sixth Elder was only famous for his swordsmanship. Who would have thought that he would achieve such success by coming to Treasure Tree Peak to cultivate immortal trees? This cross-border ability is really admirable."
After a few words, he started licking me again.
“Hehe…” The Sixth Elder just smiled faintly at this, and then leaned back suddenly.
"What is a high-ranking elder?"
…
A ray of light like a small sun broke through the circle of darkness and lasted for a few breaths before slowly dissipating.
Li Chu put away the small Bodhi Mantra and asked, "Brother Niu, how do you feel?"
The scarred Niu Sandao stood up, looking surprised, "Master Xiao Li, your... your magical power is so effective, it just looks like the Bodhi Mantra of Buddhism, how did you..."
"As a Taoist priest, it is reasonable for me to learn some Buddhist knowledge to support myself." Li Chu said calmly.
Niu Sandao naturally didn't dare to say it was unreasonable, he added: "When the evil spirit was killed just now, did it drop a blood magic crystal? That is the key to continuing the fire."
"Blood Demon Crystal?" Li Chu was surprised.
The incident just now happened in a hurry - or the evil spirit died too hastily, and the surroundings were too dark, so Li Chu really didn't notice what items were dropped.
The two went back to look for it again, and indeed found a blood demon crystal. It was quite small, so it was no wonder that Li Chu didn't pay much attention to it.
When he was fighting monsters in the Horror Valley, he was too lazy to pick up these broken diamonds. Later, it was the girl Mu Lan who followed behind him to pick them up. Just by picking up the broken diamonds that Li Chu didn't want, he became the Holy Son of Gao Qiao.
I never thought that the evil spirits here would drop blood magic crystals after death. It turned out to be inextricably linked to the Fuhuang demon body...
Niu Sandao picked up the broken diamond like a treasure and said, "Let's go back."
"Going back now?" Li Chu wondered.
"This blood demon crystal is enough to keep the flame going for quite a long time." Niu Sandao said, and then he scratched his head, "Of course, Taoist Xiao Li, you have great magical powers. If you want to hunt down more evil spirits and strive to enter the third world, it is normal. Then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you..."
"Forget it, let's go back first." Li Chu said.
Since the other person has said that he would risk his life for a gentleman, he naturally cannot really let anyone sacrifice his life.
Immediately, the two turned around and went back.
The two young cultivators and the little girl were waiting anxiously beside the fire. The flames were a little dimmer than before. Although it was not obvious, it was enough to cause panic.
Seeing them coming back, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, "Master Xiao Li, you are finally back. I was so worried. Are you not hurt? I feel relieved to see you back."
"I'm fine." Li Chu nodded.
"I'm injured..." Niu Sandao said weakly when he was left out.
"Oh?" The three of them looked at him. He was indeed covered in dust. Although there were no wounds, he looked quite disheveled.
"We just encountered an evil spirit that suddenly rushed out from the side and was quite ferocious. Although we killed it, I was also injured in the process..."
Niu Sandao spoke slowly, "Fortunately, Taoist Xiao Li knows how to recover, so I was able to come back safely."
"Wow--"
The young people were stunned by what they heard, as if they had seen some thrilling scene.
"But fortunately, I have accomplished my mission and brought back this Blood Demon Crystal."
Niu Sandao opened his hand, and in his huge palm there was a tiny blood demon crystal, which looked very inconspicuous.
"Wow--"
The youngsters once again let out their inexperienced cries.
"Just watch." Niu Sandao raised his hand and threw the blood demon crystal into the fire.
boom--
As expected, the flame leaped up, suddenly expanded in size, and became even hotter.
"Wow! That's great!" Several young people cheered and even applauded.
“…”
Li Chu, who was standing next to them, had been watching them quietly, not knowing what was so exciting about this broken diamond...
This moment.
Human joys and sorrows are not shared.
…
Not long after the fire died down, Li Chu stood up and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
In fact, he didn't really care whether he could enter the third world, but it was rare to find a place full of evil spirits. Going back with only a few experience points was like going to a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed.
He couldn't accept this.
"Master Li, are you going out alone?" The little girl immediately stood up, "How can I feel at ease?"
"It's okay." Li Chu shook his head.
"How about I go with you?" the little girl said courageously.
"I would be worried if that happened." Li Chu pushed her back and said, "Don't worry, I will come back if there is any danger."
"Indeed." Niu Sandao nodded with deep feeling, "Master Xiao Li's strength is far superior to mine, there is no need to worry at all."
After saying goodbye to a few people, Li Chu disappeared into the darkness again.
They had mentioned before that each cluster of fire here was extremely far apart, so walking in any direction would lead to deeper darkness, and the possibility of reaching another cluster of fire was extremely small.
Li Chu did not choose a direction, but just walked forward.
Unexpectedly, not long after he walked away, he heard Chen Huaji's voice.
"Master Xiao Li! It's really you!"
Li Chu turned around and saw Chen Huaji's flattering smile emerging from the darkness.
"Why are you here?" Li Chu also asked.
"Don't mention it. My teammates who betrayed me forced me to come out to attract evil spirits. How could I let them have their way? I simply kept running and didn't go back. As a result, I ran all the way here." Chen Huaji said.
"Then it's just right for us to travel together." Li Chu said.
"Okay." Chen Huaji immediately followed Li Chu.
Li Chu just turned around and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Although this Chen Huaji had the form, he seemed to lack the spirit. This time when he appeared, there was no vague licking feeling in the air.
wrong!
This Chen Huaji is fake!
Li Chu turned around suddenly, and was met with a bright sword light! Clang! Clang...
A few crisp sounds.
It turned out that "Chen Huaji" really pulled out a short blade from behind him, and then stabbed Li Chu in the back! Then... the blade broke.
"Forehead……"
Chen Huaji stabbed with the knife, felt something was wrong, retracted his hand, and stabbed again, but this time the knife was only half as long.
Li Chu was already looking at him calmly.
He mechanically made several thrusts, but it obviously had no effect...
"You are indeed a fake." Li Chu said coldly.
"I...I was just joking with you." Chen Huaji suddenly smiled.
Then, it was Li Chu's turn to stab him.
boom--
With such a close distance of sword attack, "Chen Huaji" melted instantly.
A medium-sized blood demon crystal fell down, and Li Chu caught it in his hand, while at the same time becoming more alert. The evil spirit here could actually transform into the human form in memory, so he had to be careful.
He held the Pure Yang Sword, but this time he did not put it back into the sword sheath. Instead, he silently said in his heart...
Let's hunt those ghosts in the dark together.
