The voice was intermittent and trembling, and it seemed especially ghastly and terrifying amidst the dark night and cold mountain wind, causing one to be unable to help but feel a chill run down one's spine. Although Kunlun Mountain was a spiritual mountain paradise, and it was unlikely that there would be any ghosts or spirits coming out to harm people, at this moment, it still sounded a little mournful and frightening.
What if, what if there really was a hidden demon or ghost on this mountain …
Lu Chen stood where he was, his brows slightly furrowed. He listened attentively for a moment, then said to himself, "It seems to be a female ghost."
After saying that, he continued to walk forward, his pace slightly slower than before. At the same time, his eyes kept looking around the mountain path ahead, as if he was looking for something.
The mountain path in the night was empty. Dark shadows swayed, as if there were strange gazes hidden in the trees and bushes on both sides of the road, staring at Lu Chen's figure in the darkness.
The mountain path was an old road that the Kunlun Party had repaired for many years. It was mottled with wind and frost, but it was still firm and smooth, winding and stretching forward silently.
The strange sound that seemed like a woman's sobbing was still drifting from ahead, but as Lu Chen walked forward, it gradually became clearer.
As he walked, Lu Chen suddenly stopped. He saw a small mountain not far ahead. The mountain path passed through the mountainside, and at the same time, it branched off into a stone path. Lu Chen climbed up the small mountain.
The small mountain was full of pine trees, and it was dark in the night. Even the stars in the sky were blocked, and the sweet and mournful sobbing seemed to turn here, as if it came from the mountain.
The cold wind blew, and the pine trees rustled. The darkness silently stared at Lu Chen on the mountain path.
Lu Chen glanced at the small mountain, then continued to walk up.
The sobbing gradually became clearer, and the surrounding darkness became thicker. Not long after, Lu Chen, who was walking on the stone steps, saw a pavilion halfway up the mountain. There was a plaque outside the pavilion, but it was too dark to see the words on it. However, the most frightening thing was that there was a figure sitting at a stone table in the middle of the pavilion. Her back was facing Lu Chen, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. Her shoulders were shaking slightly, and she was sobbing softly.
One above and one below, one in front and one behind. The surroundings were thick with Ghost Qi. When a gust of mountain wind blew past, it lifted the strand of black hair, revealing the pale skin of the 'female ghost'. It was as if even the air had frozen.
"Hey!"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the pavilion with a trace of impatience, instantly breaking the gloomy atmosphere. Then, a figure stepped in and very impolitely complained to the "female ghost", "Why are you howling here in the middle of the night? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"Ah!" The sobbing suddenly went silent. After a moment, the "female ghost" suddenly seemed to be shocked by herself. She suddenly let out a scream and jumped up from the stone table. She staggered back and looked at the black figure standing at the edge of the pavilion. Her trembling voice stuttered, "You, you, don't … come here! Ghost … "
"Even ghosts are afraid of ghosts?" Lu Chen snorted unhappily and casually lit the fire lighter he carried on his body.
The moment the fire lit up, it illuminated the faces of the two people in the pavilion. The frightened face of the woman on the opposite side flashed there. After a moment, the expression on her face first stiffened, then revealed a somewhat incredulous expression. She said in shock, "Brother Lu, why is it you …"
…
At this time, the only person in the Kunlun Party who would call Lu Chen "Brother Lu" was naturally only Yi Xin.
With the dim light of the fire, Lu Chen saw Yi Xin's surprised, happy and dazed face. There were still traces of tears and her face was very haggard. He could not help but shake his head. With a wave of his hand, the fire suddenly flashed and extinguished. Darkness once again shrouded the mountain pavilion.
"Not sleeping in the middle of the night, but coming here to scare people. You, this young lady, are getting more and more powerful." Lu Chen walked to the stone table in the pavilion and sat down.
Yi Xin stood at the side of the pavilion for a moment before carefully walking over. In the pavilion in the night, the faces of the two people became blurred in the darkness again, even if there was only a stone table between them.
Perhaps it was surprise, or perhaps it was excitement, Yi Xin did not care about the slightly sarcastic joke in Lu Chen's mouth. Instead, she seemed to be a little embarrassed and shrunk her neck. After a moment, she said, "Brother Lu, you, why are you on this Kunlun mountain?"
Lu Chen looked up at the sky and felt that there was almost an hour until midnight. There was still time, so he said, "Me? I am now a disciple of the Kunlun Party. "
"Ah?" Yi Xin widened her eyes and said in shock, "What? You actually also became a disciple of the Kunlun Party?"
"Hey, don't think that I can't see the look of contempt on your face when it is dark!"
Yi Xin was shocked and hurriedly waved her hand. "No, no! Brother Lu, I, how could I look down on you? I really didn't expect it. But it's really great that you can come to the Kunlun mountain. No matter what, Kunlun is also a famous and upright sect. You must be much better here than at the Crescent City in the Land of Chaos. "
Lu Chen glanced at her and could feel the sincere joy in this inexperienced girl's words. He felt his heart warm for no reason. Then, he shook his head and snorted. "Alright, tell me. Why did you come here in the middle of the night to cry and pretend to be a ghost?"
"I … I didn't pretend to be a ghost!" Yi Xin only felt her cheeks heat up. Fortunately, in this dim light, perhaps Lu Chen could not see it. She subconsciously retorted, "You, on the other hand, suddenly jumped out just now. That was really scary! Don't say that I didn't pretend to be a ghost. Even if I was a ghost, even a ghost would be scared to death by you just now. "
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a while. You've become so good at talking." Lu Chen laughed.
Yi Xin did not want to be entangled with him on this topic anymore. She hurriedly changed the topic. "Brother Lu, what is your status now? Where are you arranged to be?"
Lu Chen said, "My talent is ordinary. After I entered the sect, I could only be a servant disciple. Now, I'm planting spiritual fields in the Rock Valley under Baicao Tang."
"Ah?" Yi Xin let out a soft cry. She seemed to be in disbelief. "What a coincidence! I'm also in Baicao Tang. It's really too … uh. "
Her voice suddenly paused. Looking at Lu Chen, the smile on her face slowly disappeared. After a while, with some caution, she whispered to Lu Chen, "Brother Lu, today, during the day, you …"
"I stood in the spiritual fields and watched you come out of the forest. Then, I saw you entangle with He Gang until you left." Lu Chen said lightly.
Yi Xin was speechless.
After a while, she heard Lu Chen sigh. "Alright, now can you tell me what exactly happened?"
