Nameless Mountain's shadow was heavy, as if even the sun hated this place, and there was rarely any time for light to shine down. In this dark courtyard, amidst the eerie atmosphere, the corpse watcher's sudden words made He Yi feel incredulous all of a sudden.
"You know?" He stared at the withered, shriveled face and said in a low voice.
The zombie widened his mouth and let out a chuckle that sounded like a chuckle. However, his face didn't seem to be smiling at all. Even when he chuckled, the muscles beside his mouth twitched a little, making him look extremely stiff.
He Yi even felt that a person who had just died would be more pleasing to the eye than this corpse watcher, because he looked more like a dead person than a dead person. The aura of death that was so thick that it could not be dispersed seemed to be emanating from his body at all times.
After hearing He Yi's question, the corpse watcher smiled strangely and said in a hoarse voice, "I have a condition."
"What condition?"
"I want to see someone. Find him for me."
"Who is it?"
"Dongfang Tao."
…
"Dongfang Tao …" He Yi was stunned for a while before he suddenly reacted. "Oh, the one from Baicao Tang?"
"That's right."
He Yi furrowed his brows and looked at the corpse watcher. "Why are you looking for him?"
The corpse watcher was expressionless, looking like a lonely wild ghost standing in the dark courtyard. He said softly, "This has nothing to do with you."
He Yi was quiet for a moment, but then he shook his head and said, "I might not be able to do it. First, I'm not familiar with that Master Uncle Dongfang, and we haven't been friends in the past. Now … we might even become enemies. Secondly, according to what I know, he has been in closed-door training for a long time due to his severe injuries. Until now, there are no signs of him coming out. Even his favorite disciple could not formally acknowledge him as her master. So, I don't think I can do anything about it. "
The corpse turned around and said coldly, "Then forget it. I've said what I want to say. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not."
He Yi suddenly took a step forward. His eyes flashed as he said, "I have the sect leader's warrant in my hand. Is that not enough to make you speak the truth?"
The corpse watcher did not turn around and said, "The warrant only allows you to enter this courtyard. If you want to suppress me, you're not qualified. Why don't you ask Reverend Idle Month to come to me directly?"
He Yi was speechless. Of course, he could not really summon Reverend Idle Month to this dark place. As the head of the Kunlun Party, Reverend Idle Month had many things to do every day. Moreover, this matter was handed to He Yi by the old man. He Yi did not want to be.
He took a deep look at the corpse watcher and said, "Of course the Sect Master won't come here, but I promise you that sooner or later, I will help you call Martial Uncle Dongfang. But whether it will succeed or not, I cannot guarantee."
The corpse watcher did not seem to be moved. He waved his hand and said coldly, "Before I see Dongfang Tao, I have nothing to say to you." After saying that, he walked away on his own. Soon, he walked to the other side of the courtyard. In the darkness, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He Yi took a deep breath. His expression changed several times. In the end, he decided to put this sudden interlude aside. He turned around and walked into the dark room with flickering candlelight.
…
The Eagle Fruit Tree liked light and moisture. It also liked to be nourished by abundant spiritual energy. It was a very delicate spiritual plant. It was not easy to raise. Because of its special properties, it was not easy to pick. It could be said to be a very troublesome plant.
Lu Chen came to the Flying Goose Terrace. Basically, he lived and ate at the side of the spiritual field. He took care of the Eagle Fruit Tree here. It could be considered as adding firewood to Su Qingjun's exciting and dazzling cultivation career.
Unfortunately, the Eagle Fruit Tree liked sunlight. It never ripened at night. This allowed Lu Chen to at least sleep peacefully at night. Otherwise, not even a deity would be able to bear it if he could not rest all day long.
On the first day he came here, Su Qingjun came to the side of the spiritual field to talk to him. Then, she went back to her cave abode. He did not see her come out again that day. Lu Chen knew that Su Qingjun had a reputation for being obsessed with cultivation. Therefore, he was not surprised. He worked in the spiritual field until dusk. Then, he finished his work for the day.
When the sun was about to set, Lu Chen walked to the edge of the cliff of the Flying Goose Terrace. He looked into the distance and saw a sea of clouds. The sun had mostly fallen below the horizon. The remaining light plated the clouds with a layer of golden color. It was like a brilliant golden ocean. It was extraordinarily beautiful.
The mountain wind blew in his face and his clothes fluttered. When he looked up at the sky from the cliff, he would feel a sense of relief. It was as if nothing in the world was important anymore. It was as if he was floating in the air.
Perhaps, this was the mentality of cultivation?
Or perhaps, it was precisely because of this that the ancient deities and virtuous deities of the past countless generations liked to stay in the Heavenly Abodes of the famous mountains and great rivers, watching the changes of the white clouds and the changing of the stars, and thus comprehending the real Great Dao.
Lu Chen looked at the blue sky in the distance and was lost in thought.
The path he walked seemed to be different from everyone else in the world. Even if he saw the scenery of heaven and earth and the sea of clouds, he still could not understand the Dao that belonged to him, the path that belonged to him.
…
The next morning, Lu Chen woke up early and went to the spiritual field to take a look. After one night, the seven Eagle Fruit Trees did not look any different from the day before. Some of the fruits hanging on the branches were still green and did not show any signs of ripening. It should be a few more days.
After Lu Chen looked at it, he had an idea in his heart. He took the wooden bucket to the spring in the mountains and fetched two large buckets of clear spring water. First, he watered them, then he used his spiritual power to cultivate the trees. After this work, it was noon in the blink of an eye. He could finally take a breather.
Lu Chen walked to the edge of the field and sat down. He glanced at the cave. This morning, Su Qingjun still did not come out of the cave. It seemed that this beautiful girl had made up her mind to stay in the cave and wait for Lu Chen to run over and call for her.
Lu Chen smiled. He did not have any other grievances. After all, this was what they had agreed to do. He was sitting, calculating in his heart that at this moment in the Kunlun Sect at the foot of the mountain, the news about He Changsheng should have already spread. Most of the ordinary disciples might just be watching the fun, but if there was really a spy from the Devil Cult, it would be impossible for them to be indifferent to the reincarnation formation.
Perhaps, there would be some reaction?
He squinted his eyes and thought quietly. Then he looked up at the sky and decided that tonight when it was quiet, maybe he should sneak down the mountain to take a look.
Just as he was deep in thought, the quiet Feiyan Platform suddenly heard a rush of footsteps from afar. Lu Chen was shocked. He turned his head and saw a man walking quickly up the mountain, heading straight for the door of the cave on the Feiyan Platform.
The spiritual field where Lu Chen was at was opened up at the side of the Feiyan Platform. There were many ancient trees and rocks around it. Most of the area was hidden. In addition, the place was remote. If one did not look carefully, it would not be easy to notice this place.
The man who came in a hurry obviously didn't notice that there was a spirit field a hundred feet away from the cave residence. There was also a man standing there. Looking at his anxious expression, he ran to the gate and began to knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang!"
The knocking sound was deep and clear, but it wasn't too loud. This was because the door of Su Qingjun's residence was different from the houses at the foot of the mountain. It wasn't a wooden door, but a stone door that had been enchanted with a spell.
A Golden Core cultivator, or rather, a young genius that everyone looked up to, coupled with a wealthy family background, was just that different from the masses. Lu Chen touched his chest pocket. There was a yellow stone talisman there. Su Qingjun had given it to him when they met yesterday. Its function was very simple. He could use this stone talisman to easily contact Su Qingjun. In her words, the stone door was thick and heavy, but the cave inside was big and deep. If someone was really looking for it, it would not be easy to hear them just by knocking on the door.
Seeing that the man used all his strength to knock on the stone door for a long time, but there seemed to be no response from inside the cave, Lu Chen suddenly became happy. He felt a strange sense of superiority that made him despise the man who was still foolishly knocking on the door. Although he knew that this feeling was very boring, he could not help but laugh.
He did not have the idea of running over to help. On the contrary, he even took two steps back and sat down with his back against the trunk of an Eagle Fruit Tree. He did not mind the dirt on the ground. After all, he had been rolling here for the whole morning.
He watched from afar as the man became more and more distressed, and his smile became more and more joyful.
Finally, the man who knocked on the door seemed to be unable to endure it any longer. He suddenly shouted, "Sister Jun, Sister Qingjun, are you inside? I am Su Biao. "
Lu Chen listened from afar. He pursed his lips and shook his head, "Su Biao? This name is not good. Just call me Stupid Su. "
Su Biao waited outside for a long time, but the stone door still did not budge. Su Biao became even more anxious and paced around the cave entrance. It seemed that even his forehead was sweating.
Suddenly, Su Biao seemed to have made up his mind. He knelt down in front of the cave entrance and kowtowed three times. Lu Chen, who was watching from afar, jumped in fright. He felt that things were getting more and more interesting.
After a while, Su Biao pleaded loudly, "Sister Jun, please come out and see me. This little brother really has an urgent matter. I beg you to save me!"
"Eh? You want to save me? " Lu Chen looked over with interest. He touched the yellow stone talisman in his bosom, but after a moment of silence, he let go.
"I want to see, when will she come out …" Before he could finish the last word, he suddenly heard the door of the cave on the other side rumble. The stone door moved open, and Su Biao, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly looked up, his face full of surprise.
In the distance, Lu Chen was also startled. He subconsciously said, "He came out as soon as he heard help. It can't be such a coincidence, right …"
