The Thirty Feet Peak of Kunlun Mountain.
This was a mountain peak in the towering Kunlun Mountain Range. Its name was rather peculiar, but the mountain itself was not only thirty feet high.
The mountain that was only thirty feet high was called a mound.
There were several explanations for the origin of this mountain's name, but the most well-known one was that there was a clear spring at the top of the mountain. The water vapor was rising, and whenever the sun shone down, a thirty feet rainbow would appear on the mountain peak. This was why the mountain was named "Thirty Feet".
In the middle of the Thirty Feet Peak, there was a spiritual cave. The cave door was tightly shut, and a layer of fallen leaves had fallen at the door. Dust was everywhere, and it seemed that it had been closed for a long time. However, on this day, there were many people standing near and far outside the cave. Among them, there were two women, one old and one young. They were Jin Dan Friar, Melaleuca Japonica, and Yi Xin.
At the same time, from the Thirty Feet Peak, a strange whistling sound could be heard from time to time. It was like the roar of a dragon, or the howl of a hurricane. It was as if there was a mysterious principle that resonated with the heavens and the earth, resonating with the mountains and rivers. It made people feel as if there was a giant beast that was about to awaken from its slumber.
An inexplicable but incomparably abundant power seemed to be contained in this mountain. Like a butterfly that was about to break out of its cocoon, it slowly flapped its wings and whistled.
Yi Xin's face was full of worry. Her eyes stared unblinkingly at the tightly shut stone door of the cave. Her hand tightly grasped Melaleuca Japonica's hand, and she seemed to be so nervous that it was difficult for her to even breathe.
As for Melaleuca Japonica, although her expression was relatively calm, there was a trace of hidden anxiety in her eyes.
Like this, they waited outside the cave for a full two hours. However, there was no further change in the cave. Instead, even the strange roar of the dragon and tiger had slowly subsided.
The various people on the Thirty Feet Peak showed a trace of disappointment on their faces. Some people had already begun to turn around and leave. Yi Xin, who was standing at the very front, turned pale and her hands and feet went cold.
Melaleuca Japonica seemed to feel something and sighed softly. She held Yi Xin's little hand and hugged her gently. She said softly, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't worry."
Yi Xin's eyes were misty, and she looked sad. Even her voice seemed to be choking with sobs as she said, "Martial Uncle, why, why hasn't Master come out?"
Melaleuca Japonica shook her head and said softly, "Silly child, the Yuanying state is a huge life and death trial. It's not that easy to pass. Don't be too anxious."
Yi Xin bit her lip and said, "But you clearly said that the tiger and dragon sound is a sign of a breakthrough."
Melaleuca Japonica nodded and said, "That is indeed the case, and the sound of dragons and tigers is an auspicious sign."
Yi Xin smiled bitterly and said, "But for seven consecutive days, it sounded every day and then fell silent again. Why is this?"
Melaleuca Japonica slowly shook her head and said, "When breaking through to the Yuanying state, there are thousands of illusions. It's difficult to see all of them. Moreover, the person breaking through the realm is different. Their techniques are different, their cultivation is different, and their state of mind is different. There are all kinds of subtle differences in the signs. She gently stroked Yi Xin's soft black hair and said gently, "Good girl, we can only wait patiently and hope that your Master is a good person."
Yi Xin nodded blankly, but the worry on her face still lingered. Her bright eyes only stared at the cave.
Melaleuca Japonica sighed in her heart and turned to look at the surroundings. After the tiger and dragon sound weakened, more than half of the surrounding onlookers had dispersed. Only a few people were still standing far away and looking in their direction.
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed slightly. She saw a young man standing under an old pine tree in the distance. It was He Yi.
Melaleuca Japonica frowned slightly, obviously not expecting He Yi to come here. He Yi also quickly noticed Melaleuca Japonica's gaze. After looking in their direction, he smiled at Melaleuca Japonica. His expression was somewhat respectful, obviously expressing that he had no ill intentions.
Melaleuca Japonica hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly at him.
In any case, He Yi was a talented disciple with a bright future. What happened a few days ago, in fact, really had nothing to do with him. Melaleuca Japonica herself actually didn't have any deep hatred with He Yi.
She just didn't know why he was guarding the entrance of Dongfang Tao's cave.
What did he want to do?
Yan Luo slowly turned her head and looked at the cave, only to hear that the sounds of dragons and tigers in the cave were getting softer and softer, and finally could not be heard anymore.
… …
Kunwu City, Black Hill Pavilion.
"Ping Ping Pang Pang", "Pi Li Pa La" … A series of strange noises rang out. In the courtyard, Old Ma was dumbstruck as he watched Lu Chen throw all the dishes he brought to go with wine, such as fried peanuts, pickled radishes, salted duck eggs, and so on, into the garbage basket. He shouted in astonishment, "What are you doing?"
Lu Chen looked at this fatty with contempt. His eyes were filled with the superiority of a nouveau riche. Then, he leisurely took out plate after plate of delicacies from the bag he carried with him. In the blink of an eye, the small dining table between them was filled with delicacies, and he even padded several layers of them.
Old Ma's mouth was wide open. While drooling, he cried out in alarm, "Damn! You brat, you're not a spy anymore, but a bandit? How many restaurants in Kunwu City did you rob? "
"Rob my ass!" Lu Chen said proudly, "I bought all of these."
Old Ma stared at him as if he had seen a ghost. He stammered, "You … You bought them?"
Lu Chen snorted coldly. It seemed he didn't want to answer this retarded fatty's question. He reached out to grab the jug of wine the fatty was holding and casually threw it away.
"Aiya!" Old Ma screamed in pain. "That's the good wine I specially left! One jug of good wine for one spirit stone …"
"Bang!"
A muffled sound interrupted the fatty's wailing. In a heroic manner, Lu Chen placed a jug of old wine in front of Old Ma. He squinted at him and said, "Fifty spirit stones for one jug of Huadiao wine. Which one do you want to drink?"
Old Ma was dumbstruck. His eyes widened. A moment later, he shouted, "F * ck this broken wine! I want to drink Huadiao wine!"
… …
"Good wine! Good wine!"
Old Ma happily took a big gulp and clicked his tongue. Then, he impatiently reached out and tore off a leg meat from an unknown immortal bird or spiritual beast from the mountain of delicacies on the table. With his mouth full of oil, he chewed with a satisfied expression on his face.
Lu Chen looked much more refined. He sat across from Old Ma and drank wine. He picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and said with a smile, "What do you think? I'm a good friend, aren't I? I remember all the good things I get from you."
"Good brother, dog friend!" Old Ma raised the bird leg in his hand and gestured to him.
Lu Chen was furious and cursed, "F * ck you! I bought you so many delicious food and drinks, but you actually called me a dog?"
Old Ma was shocked. He quickly swallowed the big piece of meat in his mouth and said with a smile, "Wrong, wrong. You heard wrong. I said 'good friend'!" He gave Lu Chen a thumbs up and said seriously, "In the whole world, I think you are the best friend. Good brother!"
"That's more like it." Lu Chen angrily glared at him again. Then, he picked up the wine bowl and drank a mouthful of wine.
Old Ma looked at him with a smile and then asked carefully, "I say, Lu Chen, you suddenly became so rich. What happened?"
Lu Chen snorted and said, "I earned it with my own ability."
Old Ma raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it. Damn it! How could there be such a good thing in Kunlun? If I had known, I would have gone in myself. "
Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal." Then, he roughly told him what happened with Su Qingjun these days.
Old Ma's eyes opened wider and wider as he listened. The way he looked at Lu Chen also became more and more strange.
In the end, when Lu Chen finished, Old Ma frowned and said, "I say, why do I feel that your money is a bit like you are living off a woman?"
"Bullsh * t!" Lu Chen flew into a rage and kicked him. He said, "Damn fatty, spit out what you just ate."
"Don't, don't, don't!" Old Ma laughed heartily and dodged, saying, "This money is too good, too good. It's all because of your cleverness and resourcefulness."
Lu Chen scolded him a few more times and then sat down. Old Ma smiled and sat beside him. After thinking carefully for a while, his face became more serious and he asked him softly, "So, you and Su Qingjun have also stayed on the same mountain for more than 20 days. How about it? Do you think Su Qingjun is still a suspect? "
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "I think she should not be a big suspect."
Old Ma squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Oh, so sure?"
Lu Chen picked up the wine bowl but did not drink it. He only rotated it gently in his palm and lightly said, "Su Qingjun this girl, on the outside, looks perfect and flawless. Talented, good family background, diligent in training and amazing skills. But after getting along with her for a long time, it is very easy to find a big flaw in her character." He smiled and said, "If the Evil Sect has handed over the fate of the entire sect to such a person, then we have nothing to be afraid of. We just have to sit here and wait. I think the Evil Sect will not have more than a few days of fate."
Old Ma nodded his head and said, "That makes sense."
Lu Chen stared at the bowl of wine in his hand. He watched the transparent and slightly yellow wine gently swaying. After a while, he suddenly said, "Old Ma, do you think I am a... cruel person?"
Old Ma was stunned for a moment. He frowned and said, "Everything is fine, why do you say that?"
Lu Chen's lips twitched slightly, his eyes lowered and glimmered. After a while, he said, "When I discovered Su Qingjun's weakness, in that moment, I suddenly discovered that I had already thought of seven or eight ways, I can coerce her friends and relatives, I can assassinate her, I can even force her to go crazy …"
The courtyard was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping on the ground could be heard.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Old Ma. He quietly said, "All of these things, I have not thought about it in detail. But like instinct, in that instant... I had the thought of harming someone."
