Chapter 48 Lair
Seeing that the battle was over and had nothing to do with them anymore, the ten buffaloes disappeared into thin air and returned to the spiritual field.
"How is it? Can you get up?" Man Gu stepped forward to show concern. Lu Yang's azure sword that decided the outcome convinced him.
Although he and Meng Jingzhou assisted and injured the tiger monster, Man Gu suspected that even if the two of them had not injured the tiger monster, Lu Yang's sword could still kill the tiger monster.
Lu Yang took a packet of Qi-replenishing powder, and soon his breathing returned to normal. His aura also improved steadily, and the speed was so fast that it could not be achieved by just a few pills of Qi-replenishing powder.
"I should have bought the Qi Rejuvenating Pill earlier. This Qi Rejuvenating Powder is so dry." Lu Yang muttered and practiced the Water Condensation Technique. A small ball of water appeared on his fingertips. The water ball stretched out a column two fingers wide and entered Lu Yang's mouth.
"Was the spell of Big and Small Ruyi that you just performed?" Meng Jingzhou saw Lu Yang suddenly become smaller and then suddenly become bigger. He felt that this move was very familiar, like the spell of Big and Small Ruyi performed by an uncle in the clan.
But as far as he knew, this kind of magic was extremely difficult to practice and the threshold was extremely high. It was impossible to practice it successfully unless you reached the Golden Core Stage.
"Something similar. I cast the spell 'Inch'."
"Cheng Cun?" Meng Jingzhou's head was full of question marks. As a member of the Meng family, he had heard of all the spells, but he felt particularly unfamiliar with this spell called "Cheng Cun".
Could it be that this was a spell created by Senior Sister Yunzhi? Thinking about it this way, it made sense.
"I am Lan Ting, a humble girl, greeting the three fellow Taoists." Lan Ting walked over gracefully.
"The three of us are all disciples of the Wendao Sect. This is Meng Jingzhou, and this is Man Gu." Lu Yang introduced. The situation was urgent just now, so he only introduced himself.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Meng and Fellow Daoist Man." It can be seen that Lan Ting is very well-educated and polite to everyone. Just now, when facing Qi Wu and other mortals, he did not drive them out, but took shelter from the rain in the mountain temple.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lanting, for your help. Otherwise, if these two tiger monsters attacked together, it would be a real headache and the mission might have failed." Lu Yang thanked him.
These were actually polite remarks; the three of them actually had some hidden cards up their sleeves.
"So this is your mission." Lan Ting didn't say much. She came down the mountain this time to complete a secret mission.
But she was unfamiliar with the place, she didn't go down the mountain during the day, and it rained at night. She wanted to find a place to stay, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
"I know a little bit about rune magic. The skins of these two tiger monsters look good. Can you give them to me?"
"Of course you can." Lu Yang said with a smile, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lan Ting needs anything else? Feel free to take it."
Tiger skin is very valuable, but it is still inferior to the help that Lanting can provide.
Lan Ting shook his head and made no further requests.
Man Gu had lived in the wilderness with his parents since he was a child, so he was very familiar with skinning. He put two fingers together, which were sharper than a butcher knife, and with just a few strokes he had completely skinned the two tigers.
After receiving the tiger skin, Lan Ting said goodbye politely to Lu Yang and the other two, then disappeared into the depths of the forest.
My senior sisters have told me that when my mental strength is not strong enough, I should not rashly approach people from the Taoist Sect, for fear of being assimilated.
"Jingzhou, do you want tiger bones and tiger whip?"
Meng Jingzhou was confused: "Why do I need tiger bones and tiger whips?"
Lu Yang smiled evilly and said, "It's for strengthening the yang."
"roll!"
With his pure Yang spiritual roots, does he still need to take yang-enhancing medicine? Can his body bear it even if it takes more yang-enhancing medicine?
"Keep these two tiger monsters. They are important evidence for us to complete the mission." Lu Yang took out his identity jade pendant, rubbed it with his thumb, and the bodies of the two tiger monsters were put into the jade pendant.
Jade pendants can also be used as storage rings.
"Let's go. This tigress made quite a noise when she came and knocked down quite a few trees. We can just follow the traces she left behind and search in the opposite direction. We should be able to find her lair."
The two tiger monsters have been entrenched in Songshan for many years, so they must have a lair.
The heavy rain had no effect on the three people and they could avoid it with any rain-proof spell.
The three of them followed the fallen trees and cracked boulders and soon found the tiger demon's lair.
This is a three-meter-high cave, pitch black and you can't see clearly inside.
"Is there anyone with a torch?" Man Gu asked. Nothing could be seen in the cave, and there might be some mechanism.
He had read in a book that this kind of strange cave was most suitable for setting up traps. For example, if one accidentally stepped on a brick, the arrow feathers on the walls on both sides would sting the person like a hornet's nest.
Or maybe a poisonous gas suddenly emerges and kills people.
At worst, huge rocks will roll and crush people to death.
"Who would set up so many mechanisms at home for no reason? Are you afraid that it would be too inconvenient for you to go home?" Lu Yang was speechless. He felt that Man Gu always had his thoughts wandering in weird places.
Having said that, torches still create an adventurous atmosphere.
It was raining heavily outside the cave, and three people in the cave were holding torches and discovering treasure. Just thinking about the atmosphere was exciting.
"Who would go out with a torch?" Meng Jingzhou complained. We are all cultivators. We have the fire control technique but we don't use it. Why use torches? "We need to open our minds." Lu Yang said, taking out a fried dough stick, and a spark lit it, and the whole fried dough stick suddenly caught fire.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
It looks like it will burn for a long time.
Lu Yang was holding the burning dough stick, not afraid of the heat, and was very proud of himself.
The things in the cafeteria are really useful. Besides being able to be used for eating and fighting, they can also be used as torches.
Man Gu suddenly realized that he could indeed learn something from Brother Lu.
Lu Yang walked in front holding the burning fried dough sticks, while Man Gu and Meng Jingzhou followed closely behind.
There was no trap as Man Gu had imagined.
Some are just the lairs of wild beasts.
The rare treasures of merchants, the classics and historical records of scholars, the martial arts secrets of warriors...
These things do not need to be handed over to the sect and can be considered their spoils of war.
"Jewelry and antiques..." Meng Jingzhou had the most knowledge among the three, and he was responsible for identifying the origins of these things.
"A teacup from a hundred years ago is not worth much money." For a monk, a hundred years is very short, like a fleeting moment. Any item in the house may have a history of hundreds of years.
In the world of immortal cultivation, antiques are the least valuable things and are rare only among mortals.
"A rusty iron knife. Why would the tiger demon keep this thing? To sharpen his teeth?" Meng Jingzhou shook his head.
Lu Yang thought to himself, don't look down on the rusty iron knife. Do you believe that one cut from it can give you tetanus?
"'Pictographic Fist'? I remember it was a kind of folk martial arts that imitated animals?" Meng Jingzhou flipped through a few pages, showing no interest, and threw it to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang was somewhat interested and planned to practice it when he had time in a few days.
"The Words of the Sage..." Meng Jingzhou sneered, "What's the point of these two beasts holding the Words of the Sage? Aren't they still beasts?"
"The Words of the Sages" is an introductory book for Confucianism, recording the earnest teachings of the sages. Man Gu knows the contents by heart and has a deep understanding of them.
Man Gu put away "The Words of the Sage", not because the book was valuable, but because the book had an unusual status and he had to keep it well.
This is respect for the saints.
"Hmm? There's a letter here. Is it addressed to the tiger demon?"
