Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 66: The Heavenly Book (II)

The cave of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

"Sister, why can Xiaodie go to the Heavenly Book Mansion but I can't? Her skills are only one level higher than mine, and her character is not as good as mine."

In the stone room, the gold and bronze candlesticks were brightly lit.

Although everyone had agreed to explore the Heavenly Book's ruins, Lin Qingyue's magic power had not yet fully recovered, so they would have to wait for some time.

Lin Qingxue was dissatisfied with Lin Qingyue's decision to let her guard the cave, and was now making trouble.

"Explore the cave and fight for opportunities, Qingxue, this is a matter of absolute competition. Brother Lin is steady and Chuanli is vicious. Compared with them, you are too immature. Going there will only distract your sister."

"As for the Yuan family father and daughter, do you think they really want to go? It's just that they have no choice but to go, and their Liuhe formation is indeed quite powerful."

Lin Qingyue's expression was indifferent and cold, and she was full of wisdom.

Compared to when she first arrived in the City That Never Sleeps to take charge of the Lin's Trading Company, she was no longer as tired as she was back then, but more fierce and bright.

"Okay, stop arguing. I have made up my mind on this matter."

Hearing her sister say this, Lin Qingxue felt aggrieved but had no choice but to accept it.

On the other side, in the stone chamber where Lu Cheng lived.

In the room, two sword lights were sweeping across the sky. Normally, such a narrow space is not suitable for controlling a flying sword, but Lu Cheng took advantage of it to practice sword skills. The sword cut through a small area and he moved with the sword. When he practiced to the extreme, the room was filled with sword energy and cold light.

"Break!"

When the meridian-breaking sword energy in the body is stimulated to the extreme, two sword lights, one white and one red, intertwine into scissor-shaped lights, and the sword forces overlap with each other, so the killing power is extremely great.

It was as Lu Cheng's magic power became more refined and his cultivation level gradually improved that he finally mastered the Jinghong Duanying sword technique.

Two rays of light, one white and one red, intertwined into a scissor-like shape, passed by Lu Cheng's side and then dissipated, transforming back into two flying swords floating in the void.

"Huh, my magic power is still not refined enough, otherwise the combined power of the two swords could increase it several times."

Lu Cheng was sweating and he put back the two flying swords. When the Chunjun and Liehuo swords were put back into their scabbards, the sword energy on the flying swords interacted with the magic power in Lu Cheng's body, constantly purifying Lu Cheng's own magic power with the attached sword intent.

"Bang bang."

At this moment, the stone door of the stone chamber was knocked.

"Uncle Yuan, please come in."

After just practicing sword, his spirit was raised to the extreme, and his five senses were also sharp. Lu Cheng knew inexplicably from the footsteps outside that the person passing by was Yuan Wuwang. He just didn't expect that he would take the initiative to come to him.

"It's already so late, Master Lin hasn't gone to bed yet?"

As Lu Cheng spoke, Yuan Wuwang walked in with a smile on his face and a jar of wine in his hands.

"Young people, you are used to going to bed late. Why hasn't Uncle Yuan rested yet?"

Lu Cheng told Lin Qingyue, Lin Chuanli and others that he was already in his forties in order to match Lin Lie's identity.

But in fact, his real age is a few years younger than Lin Chuanli. He traveled through time by transferring his soul, and his age is similar to that of his predecessor Lu Cheng.

"I know Master Lin likes fine wine. This is a jar of fine wine that I buried when Xiaodie was born. I chose a place with good feng shui and spiritual energy under a peach tree. Today, I will give it to Master Lin."

"Ah? How can you accept rewards without merit? "

When you give a gift to someone, you must ask for something in return. Lu Cheng didn't like fine wine so much that he would accept any request.

"Master Lin."

Just as Lu Cheng stepped forward to stop him, Yuan Wuwang fell to his knees.

His reaction was beyond Lu Cheng's expectations, and he quickly stepped forward to pull him up.

But while Yuan Wuwang was struggling, he took out an exquisite black wooden box from his arms and handed it to Lu Cheng.

"It contains a Heavenly Thunder Seed, which is the most precious thing I have. I originally planned to let Xiaodie marry Lin Chuanli, and then use this item to avenge her mother. But I didn't expect that I put my trust in the wrong person. That Lin Chuanli looks humble but is vicious. When we first met, he acted so fond of Xiaodie and was so polite. But a few days ago, he beat Xiaodie to death. Fortunately, my daughter didn't marry him, otherwise how could I be worthy of her dead mother."

"But Master Lin, you are different. I don't know why, but I just feel that you are different from them. Although they also have the surname Lin, Lin Qingyue and Lin Chuanli are all the same. They all look down on us. Only you look at us the same as you look at other people."

"Hurry up and get up. Uncle Yuan, if you have anything to say, tell us. There is no need to be like this."

Lu Cheng was not used to being kneeled down, or he had not yet adapted to this world. In a hundred or a thousand years, perhaps things would be different.

"Master Lin, this jar of wine and this Heavenly Thunder Seed are my most precious treasures. I don't ask for anything else from you, but I ask that you help Xiaodie when you become successful in your cultivation. That poor child lost her mother when she was young. I, a useless person, kowtow to you here."

Having said this, Yuan Wuwang knelt there and kowtowed three times.

Then he stood up, bowed to Lu Cheng again and left the room.

His behavior from beginning to end was inexplicable, but it all made sense when you think about his identity: parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.

Lin Lie, Lin Qingyue, Lin Qingxue, and Lin Chuanli, among these Lin family members who do not take other people's lives seriously at all, Yuan Wuwang found a glimmer of hope for his daughter.

He was not smart enough, and the reason he was able to find Lucheng was because he thought about it day and night, and finally he had some awareness. Fourteen days later, Lin Qingyue's magic power was restored, and the five of them went to explore the Heavenly Book Palace together.

Exploring the caves of predecessors has been a practice in the world of immortal cultivation since ancient times.

Even famous and orthodox sects such as the Cangjian Palace, the Bajing Sect, the Xiantian School, the Western Region Tianhe Orthodox Sect, etc., when they encounter the ruins of ancient sects, they will also explore and search for treasures.

If a cultivator really does not want to be disturbed after his death, he can just disperse all his magical instruments and spiritual objects and let them scatter throughout the world, rivers, mountains, lakes and ponds.

But in fact, many cultivators, even those who are independent cultivators, are thinking about passing on what they have learned throughout their lives before they die.

Because establishing a school and passing down unique skills can enhance the luck of the soul after reincarnation.

This is the reason why many predecessors left behind their Taoist traditions. If one's luck was strong enough, there have even been cases in the world of immortal cultivation where a founder of a sect would rejoin the sect he founded thousands of years later.

After condensing the golden elixir, he recovered his memories of his past life, and from then on he made rapid progress and finally ascended to become an immortal.

Of course, such extreme examples are extremely rare even in the world of immortal cultivation.

It is only recorded in ancient books. In the real world, none of the people Lu Cheng has contacted so far have seen or even heard of such a thing.

The previous cave, following the source of the water flow, found a larger underground cave.

As soon as everyone entered, they were shrouded in endless darkness. They squinted their eyes slightly before they adjusted themselves and looked around.

People who practice Taoism have extraordinary eyesight and can see clearly with the little light around them:
The ugly and hideous walls, the huge trees supporting the roof of the cave, the uneven ground with sharp stones that occasionally hit your feet, everything is so ordinary and rough, except that there is a chill in the air.

"It is impossible for Lin Tianshu to open up such a large underground space by himself. It should be already there in the belly of the mountain, and he took advantage of the situation to open it up."

Lin Qingyue said this while looking around.

"Swallowing the vitality of heaven and earth and leveraging the power are typical Lin family techniques."

Lu Cheng thought so in his heart, but of course he wouldn't say it out loud.

The vastness of this underground space is much larger than everyone had previously imagined. Everyone needs to search and explore the way, and return the same way when they encounter a dead end.

There is indeed an earth-escaping talisman that can allow a cultivator to pass directly through stone, but one must leave before the talisman's power is exhausted, otherwise the cultivator will be embedded in the stone and become one with it.

Lin Qingyue and Lin Chuanli each held a compass and kept calculating. Neither of them was very good at formations, so at this moment they were concentrating on recalling the formations taught in the clan school. By discussing from time to time, they were able to roughly find the direction for everyone to move forward.

"Everyone, be careful. Judging from the changes in the formation, Lin Tianshu originally wanted to use the formation to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, and use it to condense evil spirits to break through the realm. This formation has been running for so many years. Although he is unlikely to succeed, so much vitality of heaven and earth gathered here will also attract many other beings."

"for example?"

Seeing Lin Qingyue holding the compass hesitantly, Lu Cheng asked directly.

"For example, a ghost who wants to be reborn from the dead."

Meeting Lu Cheng's gaze, Lin Qingyue didn't want to hide anything and told him the answer she had guessed in her heart.

Wow wow wow wow.

The white water of the waterfall flows down beside me.

Because of the water, the underground plants around grew quite lushly, some of which emitted faint light in the darkness. The monks walking among them could also see different scenery.

"Look there."

At this time, Yuan Xiaodie suddenly spoke and pointed in a direction.

Lu Cheng looked in the direction she pointed and saw a dried corpse lying in the grass.

The outer robe of the mummy exudes a faint red glow, and it is obvious at first glance that it is not an ordinary item. It still looks like new after so many years.

There is a Qiankun bag hanging around its waist. The purple-gold Qiankun bag is exquisitely woven and obviously worth a lot of money.

Seeing such an unexpected gain, Yuan Xiaodie's face lit up with joy. She pinched her fingers and was about to use the object control technique to take down the Qiankun bag first.

This was a very normal practice, but Lu Cheng inexplicably felt a chill. He made a gesture with his sword, and the two swords on his back came out of their sheaths with a clang.

"careful!"

"what?"

As soon as the words fell, bang, a large amount of black fog was released from the mummy. The black fog grew with the wind, and there were countless blurry human faces roaring and wailing in it. The black fog spread and enveloped Lu Cheng and others in a very short time.

Clang.

The two swords were unsheathed, and the sound was almost continuous because of their speed and power. Lu Cheng pressed Yuan Xiaodie's body and quickly retreated, while the two swords beside him combined like scissors to cut forward.

Normal flying sword-type magic weapons are ineffective when used to deal with ghosts. Taoist thunder and fire spells are relatively more effective.

However, the oncoming evil flame ghost fog was cut by the two swords and dispersed, allowing Lu Cheng to successfully fly away from the spreading range of the ghost fog with Yuan Xiaodie.
