The back of the nameless mountain had always been dark, even during the day. After Lu Chen walked into the darkness, he felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to have suddenly dropped a lot. At the same time, a gust of cold wind blew continuously from the front, as if the terrible palm of a Yin spirit was caressing his flesh and skin.
Lu Chen was not too surprised by this. This was just one of the common scenes in the shadowy land. For ordinary people, it was terrifying. For ordinary cultivators, perhaps it was a little troublesome because it was rare, but for him, it was already a common sight.
He seemed to have a natural ability to blend into the darkness. In this shadow, he was like a fish in the water, silently moving forward, not revealing any traces.
Not long after, Lu Chen saw the black house.
The black door was open at the moment, and He Yi's figure could be vaguely seen standing in the courtyard. Lu Chen hid in a dark corner, looking over there for a while, and then his eyes fell on the plaque above the black door with the words "Righteous Grave".
He frowned slightly.
He could roughly guess what these two words meant, but he really did not think that there would be such a thing in the Kunlun Party that seemed to only exist in the mortal world. And looking at the surroundings again, the Yin Qi was dense, and the darkness was surging. Lu Chen quickly judged that the core of this Yin land should be in that courtyard.
Righteous grave, as the name suggested, should be a place where the dead would come, ordinary people would not come here at all. Even for a shadow like Lu Chen who used to walk in the dark, he would not easily set foot in this kind of place.
No one liked this place, or rather, as long as it was a living creature, it would not like this kind of dense Yin Qi place. Therefore, since ancient times, the Yin land was one of the dangerous places.
Then there was only one question left, what was He Yi doing here?
If there were no other accidents, Lu Chen would probably have thought of an answer in his heart. He stood in a dark corner and quietly looked at the black courtyard. He thought to himself, so He Changsheng's body was placed here after he died?
Just as he was deep in thought, a cold aura suddenly floated out from the courtyard, like a venomous snake hiding in the darkness suddenly spitting out its tongue, like a sleeping evil spirit suddenly opening its eyes, a skinny figure walked out from the darkness, silently appearing behind He Yi, standing in front of the black door.
A bone-chilling wind suddenly blew.
His cold gaze swept through the darkness.
He looked at the shadowy corner.
The cold wind swept over, blowing up a few withered leaves. In the darkness, there seemed to be a storm and undercurrent surging. However, after a while, only a few withered leaves fluttered in the sky and then slowly floated down.
There was nothing in that dark corner. Other than darkness, it was as if nothing had ever existed.
The zombie's cold gaze swept over the place. When he saw the empty and lonely darkness, a trace of extreme astonishment seemed to flash across the depth of his eyes.
At this moment, a figure walked over and stood not far behind him. It was He Yi.
He too glanced outside but did not see anything. Hence, he frowned and asked the zombie, "Senior, what's wrong?"
The zombie did not answer him. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Did you come to see me alone?"
He Yi nodded and said, "Yes."
The zombie grunted and didn't say anything else. He turned around and walked back into the dark courtyard. The black gate behind him moved on its own without any wind and slowly closed up, hiding all the darkness and secrets behind it once again.
The darkness outside the courtyard was as quiet as the deep sea. After an unknown period of time, in another dark corner not far from the corner, a slight tremor suddenly came from the ground. Then, as if the darkness was disintegrating, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
It was Lu Chen.
At the moment, his face looked a little cold. When he looked at the courtyard again, his gaze was completely different from before.
…
Atsu was lying on the ground, looking at White Lotus beside him with a vigilant gaze. The little girl, who had an otherworldly beauty, was showing a faint smile at the moment. Her fair, jade-like fingers were softly brushing over the black fur on Atsu's back.
Specks of tiny, translucent, crystal-like white shards floated up and dispersed on her fingertips, forming a sharp contrast with Atsu's shiny black fur.
Under the white and cold radiance, faint wisps of aura lightly touched Atsu's skin. Some bounced back and some seeped in.
Gradually, the smile on White Lotus's face vanished. In its place was a doubtful expression as if she had discovered something extremely strange that she did not expect.
After a while, she stopped brushing her fingers, and the snow-like powder also disappeared.
Atsu raised its head and glanced at her. Seeing that White Lotus did not seem to have any other strange expression, it inched forward a little and then crept up quietly.
White Lotus saw all of Atsu's movements, but for some reason, she did not stop it. In her bright and clear eyes, the figure of the black dog was reflected, but her gaze seemed to be looking further away.
"No, this is not the Blood Feeding Secret Technique … Blood Feeding Secret Technique is so overbearing. Once the technique is cast, even if the body doesn't explode and die, it will at least end up in a frenzy. How could it still be like you …" White Lotus stared at Atsu, as if she had seen something unbelievable. She murmured, "But in this dog's body, there are clearly traces of Blood Feeding. What is going on? "
"Could it be that in this world, there is another kind of technique that has the same origin as Blood Feeding, but is stronger than the Blood Feeding Secret Technique?"
"If this is the case, then the hundreds of thousands of lives that the southern barbarians have lost for thousands of years are just a big joke."
White Lotus suddenly stood up. For some reason, her beautiful face was flushed with excitement as she stared at Atsu.
Atsu was inexplicably afraid and took a step back.
"Lu Chen …" White Lotus chuckled softly. Her voice sounded a little erratic. She said, "Interesting, interesting. Lu Chen, who are you?"
…
Lu Chen rushed back to Flying Goose Terrace before dusk. Atsu was delayed for a while. After he came out of the dark grave, he whistled for a while, and Atsu ran back from the forest.
On the way back, Atsu didn't seem to be in a very good mood, but other than that, there seemed to be nothing unusual. There was no pain or injury. Lu Chen was also thinking about the strange figure in the dark grave, so he didn't pay too much attention to Atsu.
However, when walking on the mountain road of Flying Goose Terrace, both Lu Chen and Atsu seemed to have adjusted their emotions after walking for a while. Atsu began to run back and forth happily. Lu Chen also saw from afar a figure leisurely walking on Flying Goose Terrace in the light of the approaching dusk.
For some reason, when he saw the quiet figure of the woman, Lu Chen felt a lot better. He smiled and waved at Su Qingjun from afar, calling out to her.
When Su Qingjun heard his voice, she looked back and smiled.
When dusk arrived, the golden sunlight spread over the vast sea of white clouds, dyeing the clouds as far as the eye could see a beautiful golden color. The black dog ran happily on the Flying Goose Platform. The two of them stood on the flat ground by the cliff, their shadows forming a long shadow.
"You're back?" Su Qingjun said to Lu Chen, "You really went for a whole day."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yes. The journey back and forth wasn't short. Plus, I went to many places in the city to buy a lot of things, so it was a little delayed. But at least I made it back in time. "
Su Qingjun glanced at the bag in his hand, and her eyes showed some curiosity. She said, "What is it? Why are you being so secretive? "
Lu Chen chuckled and beckoned Su Qingjun to sit down beside a few rocks. He then took out something wrapped in paper from the bag he carried with him and handed it to her.
Su Qingjun took it and felt a slight warmth in her palm. She glanced at Lu Chen, but Lu Chen smiled and did not say anything. He only gestured for her to open the paper and take a look.
Su Qingjun stretched out her fingers and gently opened the paper. After lifting the two layers of thin paper, she saw what was inside — it was a small black ball, and at the same time, it gave off a strange smell of meat.
A hint of surprise appeared on her face. She looked at Lu Chen and asked, "What is this?"
"Roasted loach." Lu Chen said with a smile, "Try it, it's delicious."
Su Qingjun was stunned, and said, "This thing … can be eaten?"
"Yes." Lu Chen said, "Don't be fooled by its black color. In fact, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat inside is very delicious. I've been craving this thing since I was a child. Unfortunately, I didn't have the money to buy it at that time, so I drooled when I saw it. "
Su Qingjun hesitated for a moment, and then frowned slightly. She said, "Loach is such a vulgar thing. It lives in dirty streams, and it has no spiritual power. Eating it has no benefit for cultivation. Why should we eat it?"
"There's no reason." Lu Chen shrugged and looked at Su Qingjun with a gentle and smiling expression. He said, "It's just for the sake of delicious food. I think you don't have to do everything for the sake of cultivation, right?"
"… Is that so?" Su Qingjun seemed to be a little confused, but also somewhat moved.
"Try it? It's a delicacy that only mortals and poor people can eat. " Lu Chen looked at her, and for some reason, a strange emotion flashed in his eyes. He then smiled and said, "Eating whatever you want, living whatever life you want, isn't that the best?"
Su Qingjun smiled, looked at him, and suddenly asked, "Then in your heart, do you want to live that kind of life?"
"Of course, I really want to live a free life without being manipulated by others. I really want that! "Lu Chen laughed.
