Old Ma was stunned for a moment and said, "What is it? Tell me in detail."
Lu Chen told Old Ma about the appearance of the strange three-eyed insect he saw last night in detail, but ignored the short but thrilling and extremely dangerous fight.
Old Ma also frowned after hearing this. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "I have never heard of such a strange and ferocious creature in this world before. Well, I will help you check it later."
Lu Chen knew that besides being well-informed, Old Ma also had all kinds of connections. For so many years, he had no confidence in Old Ma, but his confidence in this aspect had never wavered. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Old Ma pondered for a moment, and suddenly showed a trace of doubt on his face. He looked at Lu Chen and said, "Strange! This kind of monster is so cruel, and it must have killed many people. How could it appear in a place like Kunlun Mountain? "
Lu Chen also nodded and said, "Yes, I also thought of this last night, but I also couldn't figure it out. And I've been on the mountain for so long, but I've never heard of anyone talking about this kind of monster before. Even earlier, there was no news about it. It should have just appeared suddenly? "
Old Ma's face suddenly darkened, and he lowered his voice and said softly, "Is it really so coincidental? Could it be that someone has their eyes on you … "
Lu Chen also fell silent. After a moment, he said, "It shouldn't be. At present, the Su family was the only one who was unhappy with me. However, with Su Qingjun around, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Not to mention that Su Tianhe had personally come to the Flying Goose Terrace once. It was obvious that he wanted to ease the relationship between father and daughter. At this critical moment, they won't act recklessly. "
Old Ma nodded slowly and said, "What you said makes sense, but I always feel that there may be some undercurrent surging in Kunlun Mountain recently. You should be careful."
Lu Chen grunted in acknowledgment, then glanced at him and said, "What do you mean by 'undercurrents'? Explain it clearly. Could it be that you've heard some rumors recently?"
Old Ma hesitated for a moment and said, "I did hear some news before. It said that there is someone in the Kunlun Party, well, at the level of Immortal Yuanying, who is dissatisfied with the current leader, Immortal Idle Month."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, and his expression suddenly became serious. He said softly, "Really?"
Old Ma nodded and said, "Most likely true."
Lu Chen did not ask Old Ma where this news came from. Years of friendship and getting along with each other had long made him understand the propriety of this matter. Moreover, he also believed that since Old Ma dared to tell him this news, it was most likely confirmed.
He pondered for a moment and suddenly laughed, but his voice was still low. He said, "Questioning the current leader, Immortal Idle Month, and there is a Perfected Cultivator of Deity Transformation above him. Which Immortal Yuanying is so bold to do so? Will there be any good consequences in the future? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Which big shot in that realm is simple? Each of them should be as cunning as a fox. "
Old Ma smiled and said, "Logically speaking, maybe so."
Lu Chen looked at him, and his eyes suddenly lit up. A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said, "That is to say, there must be something unreasonable in this. Let me think, all the principles in this world can only be justified if there is a foundation. But on Kunlun Mountain, those who can face Immortal Idle Month, including that Hakushin Jinkun, are all qualified to be unreasonable. Those Yuanying Zhenrens are not enough … "
Old Ma smiled and said nothing.
Lu Chen shook his head and sighed. He said, "Damn baldy, can't hold it in anymore?"
Old Ma shrugged and said, "I think it's not that he can't hold it in anymore. It's just that most of the adults are in Zhenxianmeng now, and few are in the sect. Hakushin Jinkun Mountain is the strongest on Kunlun Mountain. He probably needs to find a few opportunities to make a statement and show his existence."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "That makes sense. No wonder those Yuanying Zhenrens dare to say such strange things. They have a backer behind them. Hmm … Are those two from Baicao Tang Sect who are talking? "
Old Ma said, "I heard that there are three or four of them, but the loudest ones should be Qiandeng and Mingzhu Zhenren. And they do have a good reason to do so. After all, this time their excuse is related to Baicao Tang Sect. "
Lu Chen was stunned. He said, "What's their excuse?"
Old Ma smiled and said, "Last time, a demon from the Devil Cult assassinated a servant disciple of Kunlun Party. After many days of investigation, there was still no news. Naturally, Baicao Tang Sect will complain. I think even Zhenren Idle Month can't say anything about it."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment. He said, "Good move!"
…
On this day, both Su Qingjun and Lu Chen went down the mountain. Flying Goose Terrace was deserted. Except for the cave residence with the closed stone door, there was only a lonely wooden house with a black dog inside.
Atsu seemed to be completely used to living in Flying Goose Terrace. Every day after waking up, it would walk around Flying Goose Terrace like a king inspecting his territory. From time to time, it would find a corner or a tree root to pee.
Originally, it would run to the cave residence's stone door to do this, but under Su Qingjun's strong protest and Lu Chen's scolding, Atsu cleverly avoided that area. But sometimes, when it looked at the stone wall, there was still a hint of regret in its one eye.
Flying Goose Terrace was a secluded place. Usually, people rarely came here. There were no fierce beasts in the forest, but there were many birds. Usually, the birds' clear and melodious chirping added a bit of fairy-like atmosphere to the place.
After Atsu patrolled around, it walked to the cliff and lay on the ground, staring blankly at the sea of clouds in the distance.
In the past, whenever it was free during the day, Atsu would not stay alone like this. It would often run out into the forest to play, cross mountains and rivers, and run to its heart's content. At that time, it even liked to go to the strange Dog Head Mountain to look for the giant Oxen and see the layers of strange beasts on the mountain.
Those days seemed to be just yesterday. Back then, Atsu was happy and full of energy every day.
But now, it was different.
Atsu no longer looked for Oxen, and it no longer went to the Dog Head Mountain. It even rarely entered the forest. Even if it ran into the forest, it would at most stay near Flying Goose Terrace. It would not go any further.
All these changes stemmed from that heart-wrenching and cruel tyranny. It was so badly injured that it almost lost its life. It was so badly injured that it was filled with fear ever since. Since that dark night, Atsu almost no longer trusted anyone other than Lu Chen. Perhaps Yi Xin was an exception.
It also stopped looking for the strange beasts in the forest. When it recovered and went to the Dog Head Mountain again, Atsu found that the strange beasts looked at it in a different way. The respect they once had was gone. Instead, it was replaced by mockery, contempt, mockery, and ferocity …
Who would look up to a dog that was covered in wounds and had only one eye and half of its tail left?
When it passed by, the tiger roared at it. The crane pecked its head with its beak. The monkey grabbed a branch and swung it across the sky, reaching out to grab half of the dog's tail and laughing crazily. There were even more beasts that looked on coldly. No matter how the black dog wailed, they were indifferent. Occasionally, when the dog fell in front of them, they would kick it.
In all the forests in the world, the strong preyed on the weak. If the strong were to be respected, who would sympathize with you when you were crippled and suffer?
Atsu once looked up at the peak of the mountain. The huge figure was lying there as usual. It looked like it was sleeping, but it also looked like it could not be bothered to care about these trivial things.
After that, Atsu left that place and never returned.
Since then, it stayed by Lu Chen's side even more. Even if it was a dark night, it would curl up next to Lu Chen to sleep.
That day, the sun was warm. It shone on the sea of clouds and the black dog's body.
Atsu yawned lazily and lowered its head to the ground. It felt a little bored. It glanced at the mountain path that led down from the Flying Goose Platform. There was no one on the mountain path. It knew that there was still some time before Lu Chen returned.
A few crisp chirps of birds came from the forest. Atsu thought for a while, then got up and walked toward the back of the mountain. It seemed to have a love for the forest in its body. It liked the feeling of being in the forest.
Walking into the forest behind the Flying Goose Platform, there were old trees and vines that had grown for many years everywhere. The air was filled with a fresh scent, which made Atsu feel much better. It sniffed everywhere and seemed to be happy. Even its footsteps became lighter.
Just like that, it walked and stopped, running and jumping. The changing light and shadow in the quiet forest was like a paradise that belonged only to the Black Dog.
Suddenly, Ah-Tu stopped in its tracks. It raised its head and stared ahead with its only eye.
There was a big rock next to a big tree over there. A figure stood under the rock. At that moment, it heard the noise and turned to look. When its gaze swept across Atsu, it smiled.
It was White Lotus.
This mysterious and beautiful fairy-like girl suddenly appeared in the forest behind the Flying Goose Terrace. At first glance, she seemed to be a beautiful fairy in this emerald green forest, but for some reason, there seemed to be a trace of an indescribably strange aura about her.
She smiled and waved at Atsu. Then, she lay on the rock and looked forward, as if she was secretly peeping at something.
Atsu was a little hesitant. It instinctively wanted to step back, but after a moment, White Lotus waved at it again. Atsu slowly, slowly walked to her side.
White Lotus pointed behind the rock and whispered to Atsu, "Look."
Atsu also became a little nervous. It secretly poked its head out and saw that in the open space in the forest about six feet behind the rock, there was a guinea pheasant standing on the ground, looking for food in the fallen leaves with its head down.
It was also at this moment that Atsu suddenly heard a soft and somewhat bewitching voice, like the whisper of the devil floating beside it.
"The pheasant's meat must be delicious …"
Atsu's body suddenly tensed up.
