Chapter 43 White Fox Blocks the Road [New Book, Please Collect! ]
Miaofeng Mountain looks lush and green from a distance, but when you get closer, you can hear the humming sound of the mountain wind blowing from south to north through the forest and valley. The sound is like the sobbing of a flute, and is actually quite melodic, which is also the origin of the mountain's name.
It was almost autumn and the mountains were already feeling a bit cooler.
The sound of footsteps trampling on fallen leaves gradually approached, and a group of three arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Li Chu also walked quietly without saying a word.
Chen Zian remained silent, his movements somewhat stiff. Although he was the one leading the way to find his wife, he was actually the last one to walk.
Therefore, only Wang Longqi's voice was heard from time to time along the way.
"Back then, there was an old goddess temple on Miaofeng Mountain. It was said to be very effective in praying for children, and people often came here to burn incense. But later, the old goddess temple was abandoned. Do you know why?"
"Because later Taoist Master Yu Qian'an came to Deyun Temple, and everyone said that it would be more effective to ask him for a child! Hahahaha..."
"Why aren't you laughing..."
Wang Longqi gradually stopped talking, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
It was normal that Li Chu didn't like to chat, but Chen Zian was not like this before. No matter what he said, he would support him - although it was because he often treated him to dinner.
I guess he couldn't find his wife and was in no mood to joke.
Li Chu had previously used his mind-eye technique to explore the entire mountain. This vast mountain had a mixed aura, with all kinds of demonic, yin, and human energy, but he was unable to find out specifically where Chen Zian's wife was.
His mind-eye technique can only see qi, but it cannot truly achieve wide-ranging vision like the spiritual awareness of high-end cultivators.
I can only follow Chen Zian up the mountain to check.
The three of them soon reached the halfway point of the mountain.
This is the narrowest part of the mountain road, a narrow path with cliffs on both sides, so you can only go straight forward. When passing this place, the mountain wind is much stronger.
Li Chu's nose suddenly twitched twice. The smell of the wind was wrong.
There's something weird going on.
Before I had time to look around carefully, I heard a rumbling sound. When I looked up, I saw a huge round rock rolling down from the top of the cliff!
Judging from the weight of this thing, if they get hit, the three of them will be turned into meat paste!
"Back off!" Wang Longqi shouted, and took the lead to retreat a few steps.
At this time, Chen Zian's movements became much more agile and he retreated repeatedly.
Li Chu, on the contrary, did not rush to dodge. He stood there calmly and fearlessly, and first cast his gaze towards the top of the mountain wall.
Where the boulder rolled down.
A white shadow flashed by.
He frowned in suspicion.
boom--
There was a loud bang, and a huge rock fell to the ground. Half of the road shook, and the sound echoed with the wind to far distances.
Although it looked scary when it rolled down above their heads, the place where the boulder fell was actually still two meters away from them, so there was no danger.
Li Chu retracted his gaze and looked at the huge rock in front of him, and heard Wang Longqi shouting: "Oh no, the road ahead is blocked."
"This..." Chen Zian's expression also changed.
"There is only one way up the mountain. If we take a detour, it may take us two more hours!" Wang Longqi said anxiously.
In two more hours, it will be dark, and it will be troublesome to find someone then.
Then I heard Li Chu say calmly: "Get out of the way."
Hmm? Wang Longqi was startled and quickly retreated behind Li Chu. He was too familiar with this tone.
Sure enough, Li Chu drew his sword from its sheath and swung it in the air. Swish—
Bang!
The huge rock that blocked the way ahead exploded, turning into pieces of rubble that fell into the air.
The astonished faces of Wang Longqi and Chen Zian, who were originally behind the stone, were also revealed.
Wang Longqi opened his mouth wide, and even Chen Zian, whose facial features were dull, gave an exaggerated expression.
They just couldn't understand how a person could shatter such a huge rock into pieces with just a chop of an iron sword.
However, Wang Longqi was used to the surprises brought by Li Chu. After all, he had seen more shocking scenes. He quickly regained his composure and patted Chen Zian on the shoulder.
"What do you think? I told you that Li Chu is very strong." He looked proud when he said this.
Chen Zian nodded dully and said, "Master Xiao Li is truly a god."
Li Chuyun calmly put away his sword and shook his head, "I have only just started on the road of cultivation."
After saying this, he walked forward firmly, his cloth shoes stepping on the gravel mountain road, and his footsteps were extremely humble.
The two people behind him followed closely.
According to Chen Zi'an's description, the small temple where he and his wife took shelter from the wind was located on an open space not far away from the forest halfway up the mountain.
However, the three of them walked in the woods on the mountainside for a long time but still did not see him.
"What's going on?" Wang Longqi panted, "Where is the temple you mentioned?"
Chen Zian looked unhappy. He looked around the terrain and said, "It's clearly in front of us, but..."
"Let's look for it again."
Li Chu silently observed his surroundings and then said.
After walking for about another half an hour, the three of them still hadn't walked out of the woods.
"What's going on? When did such a large forest appear in Miaofeng Mountain?" Wang Longqi was so tired that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground for a while.
Chen Zian's expression changed drastically, with a hint of fear in his eyes, as if he was afraid of something.
Li Chu looked around and said, "This is the third time we have come back here."
"What?" Wang Longqi stood up: "Is it a ghost wall?"
"It's a similar sleight of hand, but it should be done by a monster." Li Chu nodded.
Just now he discovered that there was a faint evil aura surrounding this place.
The taste is somewhat familiar.
This sleight of hand is different from illusion. It changes the surrounding terrain and covers up the real path. Therefore, no matter how strong his mental strength is, he cannot avoid falling into it.
He had never encountered such a situation before, but now that he knew the situation he was in, there would always be a way.
It's like being in an exam room and suddenly encountering a question you haven't seen before. At this time, you must not panic, but calm down and think.
Familiar principles are often hidden in unfamiliar questions.
So Li Chu sat down quietly.
Wang Longqi asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Chu replied calmly: "I'm trying to find a way."
Wang Longqi turned around and said to Chen Zian, "It seems that your wife has really been captured by a monster. It is obvious that the monster is using magic to block the way and dare not let us go."
Chen Zian ignored him and looked at Li Chu.
Li Chu stood up before Wang Longqi finished speaking.
"Have you thought of a solution?" Wang Longqi asked in surprise.
He knew that Li Chu was always fast, but wasn't this a little too fast?
"Yeah." Li Chu nodded.
He thought of it.
This sleight of hand tricks uses the terrain to confuse people, such as the surrounding trees, rocks, etc.
So……
As long as there are no such things around, the sleight of hand will naturally have no effect.
He drew his sword again.
Wang Longqi sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly pulled Chen Zian back a few steps.
Soon, a roar sounded in the mountains.
One sword.
boom--
The white light of the sword turned into a huge wave, sweeping across the forest.
Wherever it passed, trees fell and rocks collapsed.
The forest was not big to begin with, and after being swept by the rolling sword energy, only a few hundred bare wooden stakes were left in an instant.
“Wow——” Wang Longqi shook his head in disbelief: “This… is it really that exaggerated?”
Chen Zian also widened his dull eyes, his eyeballs moved obscurely, and suddenly shouted: "There!"
The trees that blocked the view disappeared, and the scene in the distance suddenly became apparent.
It can be seen that there is indeed a small dark temple in the open space not far away. It looks very abrupt and indeed a bit weird.
The three of them quickened their pace and hurried over.
At this moment, a wild beast roared suddenly from the side, and a white shadow flashed!
Rushed towards Chen Zian!
This time Li Chu did not draw his sword. He pulled Chen Zian next to him and pulled him behind him.
puff.
When the white shadow saw Li Chu standing in front of Chen Zian, it immediately changed direction, spun its tail, and landed in front, revealing its figure.
It turned out to be a white fox with a slender body and a fluffy tail.
It lay on all fours, looking at Li Chu and whimpering.
When it looked at Chen Zian again, it immediately bared its teeth, revealing its ferocious look!
"Is this the monster that kidnapped your wife?" Wang Longqi asked.
"I... I don't know." Chen Zian shook his head in panic, "I only know that my wife disappeared in that temple."
"Why are you blocking our way?" Li Chu asked.
He was familiar with this white fox.
Every morning it is the first one to arrive at Deyun Temple, more pious than anyone else. It is the little fox that is about to transform!
He believed that the white fox would not do anything harmful.
The white fox blocked the entrance of the temple with a ferocious look on its face, and its meaning was obvious: it was not going to let anyone in.
Wang Longqi said: "This fox is obviously a monster! It doesn't dare to let us in."
"Woo——" The white fox bared its teeth at him fiercely.
Li Chu said softly, "Get out of the way."
"Woo! Woo!"
The white fox called out anxiously a few times, as if it wanted to say something, but it had not yet transformed and had not learned to speak human language.
Seeing that it couldn't be stopped, it suddenly turned around, ran to the door of the black temple, and lifted up its hind legs.
hiss--
A column of white water.
There was a breeze blowing, and an indescribable smell of urine came with the wind.
Wang Longqi quickly covered his mouth and nose, screaming: "This fox... is so wicked! This is a seal!"
The white fox urinated into the temple, and it was indeed like a seal was cast, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close!
