pillow mountain river

Chapter 38

Er Dong has practiced in Hanshan for a long time, saying that he is practicing, but he is eating wild fruits to bask in the moonlight.

There are so many birds and beasts in the world, even if one is born in a place with strong aura, it is not easy to become a demon.When Er Dong was still a hare, he only cared about satisfying his appetite, and became a monster, still only thinking about how to eat better.

A hare who is lucky enough to become a demon like him may not be able to find another one with a lantern.

The demon, internalizes aura, and drives the five elements.The big demon can even move mountains and fill seas, and call wind and rain.

Ke Erdong has practiced for so many years, he is getting older, but his cultivation has not improved.At most he could summon some weak streams of water, which were not enough to water the weeds around the nest.

Even so, Er Dong felt that he was stronger than the bamboo demon.Zhen Hanshan's form is unstable, and most of the time it is still in the state of a wandering soul, as hazy as the moonlight, and occasionally it can condense into a solid body.

Er Dong was not ashamed, and said loudly to Zhen Hanshan, "Don't worry, my cultivation has improved a lot recently, and I will protect you from now on."

After Zhen Hanshan listened, he replied softly "Yes".

Er Dong smiled openly, as if he had been a hero to save the beauty for a while.But the two demons have been practicing in Hanshan for so many years, and they only encountered danger once.

That time, a demon cultivator who was nearing his lifespan strayed into Cold Mountain, trying to take away their inner alchemy.The demon cultivator Xu is about to die, he doesn't care too much, he only thinks about swallowing the inner alchemy of the little demon, supplementing his cultivation, so as to delay his death.

The demon cultivator may have been a fearsome demon in his heyday, but he could not reach his lifespan, Er Dong didn't even move a finger, and he fell in front of him, completely breathless.

Such accidents increased Er Dong's self-confidence, and the big demon was no more than mediocre.

He didn't know that compared with the big monster, the greater danger came from human beings.Human cultivators claim to practice the righteous way, but there are far more human cultivators who follow crooked ways than demon cultivators.Those who murder other people's lives and take away their inner alchemy are called demon cultivators.

The Zongmeng expressly forbids the cultivation of demon ways and kills demon cultivators, but such a convenient path of practice still attracts many monks.

Er Dong never thought that he would meet two demon cultivators.

"This mountain is really miraculous. You can't detect any abnormality from three miles away. Only after entering the mountain, you will know that it is full of aura," said a middle-aged man.The man was dressed in a Taoist robe, with a treasure bag pinned to his waist, obviously dressed as a monk.

The middle-aged man mobilized the spiritual energy in his body and merged it with the spiritual energy of the mountain, "Wonderful! This is really a blessed place. Wouldn't it be more effective to practice here?"

The man's companion is a beautiful young woman, dressed in purple, she looks like a fairy, but it's a pity that seeing this paradise, a pair of beautiful eyes revealing blatant greed, making the delicate face look a little ferocious.

"Do the business that the master ordered first," the woman said after stopping to absorb the spiritual energy.

The man said perfunctorily, "This place is full of aura, so why not find a demon cultivator?"

"Be careful, if a big monster emerges, you and I will not only get the inner alchemy of the demon cultivator, but we will become someone else's ration first." The woman's eyes were cold, and she tightly held the long sword in her hand.

The middle-aged man snorted contemptuously, "The monster lock array in my bag is not trash! What about the big monsters? Come and take one away."

The man smiled, and then said to the woman, "Yuji, you have practiced for nearly 300 years, and you are considered one of the most powerful people under the master. If you are still so timid, wouldn't it be embarrassing to the master if you spread the word?"

The woman stopped talking, and walked to the place where the aura was the strongest in the forest.

There are many beasts in the mountains, but there is only a faint trace of evil spirit floating in the air.Walking through a small path, the evil spirit suddenly became strong, and the blade of the long sword in the woman's hand flashed purple light.

"It's nearby, be careful!" the woman said in a deep voice.

The middle-aged man reached for the treasure bag, and silently recited the formula for locking the demon formation.

The formation was completed, and the demon cultivator they were looking for fell into the demon-locking formation. The man took a closer look and said disappointedly, "It's just a rabbit demon. Unlucky, after searching for a long time, I only found a low-level demon."

The Rabbit Demon in the Demon Locking Formation didn't know what happened, but two people Xiu suddenly appeared in front of him, his whole body glowed with golden light, and golden seal characters wrapped around his body like banners.

Er Dong was bound in the demon-locking formation by those golden seal characters. Although there was nothing around him, he seemed to be shrouded in a cage, unable to get out.

"It's better than nothing, you go kill it, and find another one," the woman's voice was cold, she looked at the rabbit monster with a human appearance in the monster lock formation, but it was like looking at rabbit meat sold by the catty in a market town.

The middle-aged man took a step forward, and a vine emerged from his feet, wrapping around his ankle.The man was almost tripped, and the woman with the sword almost cut off the vine.

"What!" The middle-aged man said in amazement.

The woman quickly cut off several vines that emerged from the ground. The vines grew faster and faster, and the hardness became harder to cut.

Panting, the woman held the long sword in front of her chest, and shouted angrily at the middle-aged man, "Still stupid? There are monsters nearby, use your magic weapon!"

The man used several low-level amulets to resist the attack of the vines, "Where is it?"

"Who knows! Damn it! What kind of demon cultivator can control wood spirits?"

"Could it be spiritual practice?"

The woman gritted her teeth and cut off the vines that entangled her calf, "Can Lingxiu have this kind of ability?!"

"Look at that!" The middle-aged man stared closely at the bamboo grove not far away, where the shadows of the bamboo were scattered, and the faint sunlight poured down through the gaps in the fine leaves, making it extremely quiet.

An ethereal phantom stood under the bamboo leaves, vaguely looking like a man.

"What the hell?" The middle-aged man scolded angrily.That shadow doesn't look like a human, nor like a demon, but more like a ghost in a storybook.

"Use the fire talisman!" the woman said angrily.Although the ghostly vines couldn't do her any real damage, she had to cut them down, which was exhausting.

The middle-aged man said hesitantly, "This..."

The fire talisman is very expensive to make, and it was originally used to save life.Hearing Yuan Ji's words, the middle-aged man couldn't help but hesitate, he was not willing to use up the fire talisman now.

"I want to see what it is that is pretending to be a ghost! Use it quickly!" Yuan Ji narrowed her eyes and glared at her companion.

The middle-aged man took out the fire talisman from the treasure bag, held the talisman between his two fingers, closed his eyes and recited the formula silently.The fire talisman floated into the air, dissipating into gorgeous fireworks, and meteor-like fireballs smashed towards the bamboo forest.

As soon as the fire spark touched the bamboo leaves, it suddenly burst into flames.

The fire summoned by the fire talisman is not extraordinary.The demon cultivator is afraid of fire by nature, and the fire talisman is the nemesis of the demon cultivator.Sure enough, after the bamboo forest was bathed in a sea of ​​flames, the vines weakened their attack.

The tongue of fire licked the bamboo leaves, making a scorching sound.The bamboo in the fire shook its branches and leaves, letting the fire sweep through its body.

Tobihime cut the last vine in half, and the vines that were separated from the roots scattered on the ground and turned into ashes.The woman raised her red lips and smiled contemptuously.

"It's a pity!" The middle-aged man was still sighing that he wasted a fire talisman.

The rabbit demon in the demon lock formation screamed hysterically, he couldn't break through the invisible barrier, he could only hit himself like a bird in a cage until his head was bleeding.

Blood was dripping from scratching with five fingers, and the golden seal characters were faintly stained with blood red.

The woman looked down at the monster lock formation, "These two monsters really belong together, a beast is a beast."

The flames reflected on the faces of the two monks.The middle-aged man wondered, "What is it doing?"

The rabbit monster in the formation gave up the powerless struggle and kowtowed continuously, his forehead hit the cold ground, and soon became bloody, and the blood oozing from the wound slid across the bridge of his nose.

"Please beg for mercy," the woman said with a glance and sneer.She turned to the man and said, "Do you want to hear the animal begging for mercy?"

Yuan Ji snapped her fingers, and the rabbit demon's voice came out of the lock demon formation.

"Please let him go!"

"Let him go!"

The rabbit demon's crimson eyes were filled with flames, and the tears in his eyes also reflected the raging fire.He kowtowed to the two of them constantly, but they looked indifferent.

Yuan Ji raised the corners of her mouth, "Spare it? I don't think it's hot enough? My skirt was shredded by the vines just now!"

The rabbit demon looked at the woman desperately, forgot to beg for mercy for a while, and the tears shed washed away the blood on his cheeks.

"This rabbit monster has a good appearance. It is said that some monks like to play with this kind of little monster. You said that we took its inner alchemy, then made it into a puppet, and sold it to Qizhen Pavilion for some Lingshi to buy. Talisman, okay?"

Yuanji didn't object to the man's words, she stood sideways and let the middle-aged man act, "It's up to you, as long as the inner alchemy of these two monsters is in hand."

The middle-aged man knelt down, looked at the rabbit monster kneeling on the ground, and sighed, "It's a pity that such a look was given to a beast."

"Stop talking nonsense, do it quickly," Yuan Ji said impatiently.

The man turned his head to look at her, and said with a half-smile, "Grandma, why do you want to be jealous of a beast?"

"What do you mean?" The woman narrowed her eyes, and returned the long sword to her hand.

The middle-aged man chuckled twice, and was about to take away Er Dong's inner alchemy.

Neither of them noticed that the fire on the other side of the bamboo bush was much smaller. Half of the green bamboo was scorched black by the fire, but the other half was still green.

Before the man's hand touched Er Dong, the mountain shook suddenly.He withdrew his hand and raised his head vigilantly.

The mountain forest not far away shook violently, and the lush leaves seemed to swell with life, and the roots and branches of all the trees shot at the two of them with teeth and claws.

Yuan Ji's eyebrows sank, she turned over to avoid the snake-like roots on the ground.The thick tree roots broke through the ground, like a giant python opening its bloody mouth and biting the woman.

The two recited the Fire Jue silently together, and manipulated the fire into the tree roots.

The burning roots and branches are like fierce snakes, not afraid of the threat of the fire, just want to swallow the two of them.

"Oops!" Yuan Ji swung the long sword, and the purple light on the sword vibrated.Even so, those jumping roots and branches are indestructible, and the blade of the sword only leaves shallow sword marks on the tree.

After a while, the sword marks disappeared.The surrounding vegetation lost its gentle camouflage and became extremely ferocious, like countless beasts with big scarlet eyes, aiming at the two monks to attack.

The middle-aged man let out a scream of "Ah", and a branch went straight through his palm, piercing through his hand before he was stretched out to the rabbit demon.The man gritted his teeth and cut off his palm, clutching the bleeding wound and running around.

Tobihime escaped first without waiting for her companions.

The two fled to the foot of the mountain, seeing the village not far away, their hanging hearts finally fell.

"What kind of monster is that?!" Tokime's hair was disheveled, and the hem of her purple dress became tattered, barely covering her legs.The fear in her eyes hadn't faded.

The man followed closely, standing beside the woman, "Go back and tell the master that there is something strange about this mountain!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge tree root sprang out from nowhere and wrapped around their waists, coiling their prey like a python.

Tobihime yelled loudly, her usual calm and self-possession was vulnerable before death came.

"Help me quickly! Get me out!" The woman's panicked cry resounded through the sky.

But her companion can't protect himself, so there's no need to save her.

The middle-aged man was frightened out of his wits, and the huge force around his waist almost twisted him in half.The internal organs in the body were stirred into a ball.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't spit out any sound. His veined palm suddenly let go, and it hung down weakly.

The crazy tree roots intertwined and twisted until the moon climbed to the treetops before returning to calm.

The moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating the peaceful mountain forest.The breeze dispelled the smell of blood, and the new leaves on the branches were blown. Thousands of leaves sang softly in the quiet night.
