The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 69, Awakening

Hua Changxi looked at the mountain spirit hiding in his arms and trembling a little, and said helplessly: "Don't be afraid, didn't you say that the Monkey King has been dead for a long time? I think the power of the Buddha's Hand has almost dissipated."

"I just touched it and the Buddha's hand has loosened. I guess it doesn't have much power anymore."

Hearing this, Shan Ling suddenly raised his head and asked anxiously: "Fairy, did you use the Buddha's hand?"

Hua Changxi: "I didn't know what it was, so I wanted to take a closer look. Although the Buddha's hand didn't look very big, it was as heavy as a mountain. I had to use a lot of force to make it move."

Shan Ling rested his chin on his hand, thinking about something. His expression gradually relaxed. "Since the fairy was able to shake the Buddha's hand, I think the power of the Buddha's hand is really running out."

Hua Changxi: "Yeah, I want to go up and get that Buddha's hand down."

Hearing this, the mountain spirit was shocked: "Why did the fairy bring down the Buddha's hand?"

Hua Changxi: "I just took a closer look and found that the Buddha's hand is very mysterious. I want to take it down and study it carefully."

Shan Ling hurriedly shook her head: "Fairy, you can't do this."

Hua Changxi was puzzled: "Why?"

Mountain Spirit: "Although the Monkey King is dead, his bones have merged with this cave. Now that the spiritual energy has revived, it has stimulated the Monkey King's field, and the Buddha's hand is needed to continue to suppress it."

Hua Changxi: "What would happen if the Buddha's hand was no longer there to suppress us?"

Shan Ling shook his head: "I don't know, but I think there might be a big mess."

Hua Changxi looked up at the top of the cave. She felt that anything that could suppress the Monkey King must be extraordinary. She wanted to observe and see. If she was asked to take the Buddha's hand down, she might not be able to do it.

"Okay, I won't move my Buddha's hand. I'll just go up and take a closer look while I'm still here to see if I can figure out anything."

Seeing that Hua Changxi was about to start practicing the somersault cloud again, Shan Ling quickly pulled her back and said, "Fairy, it's time for breakfast."

Hua Changxi looked at him and said as he took the spiritual fruit, "You are quite punctual for your meals."

Shan Ling took the fruit and said, "Because I have to take good care of myself, fairy, you didn't take good care of yourself, you didn't even sleep well."

Hua Changxi laughed: "I have no choice. If I don't hurry up and practice, how can we get rid of that old Taoist?"

The mountain spirit tilted his head and said, "But as long as we stay in the cave, the old Taoist won't dare to come in, fairy, you are pushing yourself too hard."

Did she push herself?

Maybe.

Hua Changxi could actually feel herself anxious. This anxiety came from the unknown of the world of immortal cultivation and from her distrust of herself. She didn't know if she could adapt to the world of immortal cultivation.

She can only continue to improve her strength to deal with and resist those potential dangers.

Afterwards, Hua Changxi continued to practice the somersault cloud, while Shan Ling held the spiritual fruit and ate it slowly.

Near noon, a large amount of smoke suddenly poured into the cave.

"Fairy~"

The mountain spirit was startled, and Hua Changxi, who was walking on the clouds and looking at the Buddha's hand on the top of the cave, also hurried down.

"Fairy, it's the old Taoist priest with mixed hair. He set fire outside the cave and wanted to burn us to death."

Looking at the pile of branches at the entrance of the cave, the mountain spirit jumped in anger.

Hua Changxi frowned: "He doesn't want to burn us to death, but to smoke us out."

"What's that smell? It stinks~" The mountain spirit pinched his nose and quickly moved away from the cave entrance.

Hua Changxi's face darkened. Poisonous smoke, that old Taoist actually released poisonous smoke!
"Fatty, come here and take this pill."

Shan Ling took the pill and asked, "What is this?"

Hua Changxi: "Antidote pill."

The mountain spirit quickly swallowed the pill, then ran to the cave entrance and yelled at the Taoist priest outside: "You, old Taoist priest, are too evil-minded. You actually want to poison us to death. Just wait. When I become powerful, you and your descendants will never be able to step into the Five Finger Mountain."

When Jiang Guanyun heard Shan Ling's call, his face looked very ugly.

The internal energy is so strong, this doesn't look like a sign of poisoning.

This mountain spirit was born not long ago and his cultivation is still very low, so he cannot resist the poisonous smoke. The only possibility is that the little girl who stole his mountain spirit was carrying an antidote pill.

"Very good, let's see how long you can hold out."

Jiang Guanyun increased the release of poisonous smoke. At this time, the communication talisman from the Jiang family arrived.

After learning that the Demon-Suppressing Army had joined forces with the Qingzhou Army and had begun to force other forces to withdraw from the Five Fingers Mountain, Jiang Guanyun, who had originally planned to use poisonous smoke to slowly force out the mountain spirits, decided to speed up.

"Boss, second brother, come to the third peak immediately."

Jiang Guanyun never thought that he would fail in capturing a newly born mountain spirit. If it weren't for that wild girl who suddenly appeared and interfered, the mountain spirit would have been refined by him long ago, and the Five Finger Mountain would have belonged to the Jiang family long ago.

The Jiang family cannot confront the imperial court head-on now, so he has to quickly capture Shan Ling and occupy Wuzhi Mountain.

In order to prevent the wild girl from causing trouble and causing more accidents, he had to let his eldest son who was in the early stage of Jindan and his second son who was in the late stage of Qihai come to stop her. After he caught the mountain spirit, he would deal with the wild girl.

In the stone cave, although Hua Changxi and Shan Ling, who had taken the detoxification pill, were no longer afraid of the poisonous fog, the smoky smell in the cave still made people feel uncomfortable.

"Fairy, what should we do now?"

Hua Changxi looked at Shan Ling and asked, "How is your Somersault Cloud? If we rush out, are you confident that you can escape the pursuit of the Taoist master?"

Shan Ling shook his head: "I don't know."

Hua Changxi had no confidence in this. They had only practiced the somersault cloud for one day. Although they could ride the cloud, they definitely could not go very fast.

However, they can't be trapped in the cave forever.

"Let's hurry up and practice some more somersault cloud. Once we increase our speed, we can rush out."

This time Shan Ling did not dare to be careless and practiced the somersault cloud with Hua Changxi very seriously over and over again in the stone cave filled with poisonous smoke.

Outside the cave, the poisonous vines burned for three days and three nights. Seeing that Hua Changxi and Shan Ling had not appeared, Jiang Guanyun's face looked a little ugly, but he was not too anxious.

The communication talisman on his waist lit up, and Jiang Guanyun knew that his eldest son and second son had arrived.

Jiang Guanyun did not let his eldest son and second son get close to the stone cave. Instead, he used a communication talisman to inform the two to hide on the left and right sides of the stone cave.

Then, Jiang Guanyun began to throw tear gas talismans and stench talismans into the cave.

As soon as the talisman flew into the stone cave, it turned into a spot of light and dissipated in the air.

Hua Changxi had never seen this before and was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, fairy, my eyes hurt so much"

"Ugh~"

Within a few breaths, Hua Changxi and Shan Ling's eyes became red and swollen, and tears kept flowing out like tap water with the valve opened, and they kept vomiting.

Hua Changxi used the wind control technique to try to expel the unpleasant air in the cave, but every time she made the air a little fresher, more talismans would be thrown in.

Hua Changxi had antidote pills to deal with the poisonous smoke, but when faced with the tear gas talisman and the stench talisman, she really had no idea what to do.

"That old Taoist is so wicked!"

At this point, even though Hua Changxi and Shan Ling knew that the Taoist was blocking them outside the cave, they had to rush out.

There is no way, we really can’t stay in the cave anymore.

"Fatty, we'll fly out to the left and right later. If the Taoist priest chases you, I'll help you stop him. You can take the opportunity to run away."

"Fairy, I don't want to leave you." "Fatty, I came to Wuzhi Mountain to gain experience, and I will leave sooner or later. I will come to Wuzhi Mountain to see you in the future, so you have to take good care of yourself."

"All right."

Unable to bear the smell in the cave, Hua Changxi and Shan Ling made some preparations and rushed out of the cave at the same time.

Jiang Guanyun felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy at the first moment, and with a "bang" he slapped towards the left side where the fluctuation of spiritual energy was stronger.

"Bang~"

The distance was too close, Hua Changxi failed to dodge and was hit hard on the back, causing him to spit blood from his mouth.

Thinking that the Taoist priest was chasing him, Hua Changxi ignored his injuries and rushed forward quickly.

However, just after flying a few hundred meters, a huge net emitting spiritual light was spread out.

Oh no, that old Taoist has helpers!

Hua Changxi's face changed drastically, and the fire lotus in his hand condensed and swung directly towards the giant net.

"Boom~"

As soon as the giant net encountered the fire lotus, it immediately caught fire and soon a big hole appeared.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly passed through the big hole, and escaped from the coverage of the giant net.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a monk appeared and launched a fierce attack on her.

Hua Changxi’s only means of attack is the fire lotus. He can only condense the fire lotus again and attack the cultivator.

It was the first time that Hua Changxi had a head-on fight with a cultivator. She did not dare to be careless, for fear that the other party would use some means that she did not understand to deal with her. She continuously waved out one fire lotus after another.

With just one fire lotus, the cultivator could still barely resist the attack of the fire lotuses. However, as the number of fire lotuses increased and surrounded him, he could only watch helplessly as the flames engulfed him.

"Father, save me~"

Jiang Gaoyou was extremely unwilling. He was the eldest son of the Jiang family and a cultivator with outstanding talent for cultivation. When others had just started to embark on the path of cultivation, he had already become a Jindan cultivator.

Now that the spiritual energy is reviving intensified, it is the time for the Jiang family to expand its territory. Yet, at this moment, he is actually going to die.

No, he can't die. The Jiang family still needs him.
Hua Changxi waved out eight fire lotuses, surrounding Jiang Gaoyou layer by layer. Even if Jiang Gaoyou was unwilling, he had no power to resist and could only let the fire lotuses burn him to death.

On the other side, Jiang Guanyun, who was hunting down the mountain spirit, heard his eldest son's desperate cry for help, and his face was full of disbelief.

That wild girl was a Jindan realm cultivator, but so was the eldest son. Even if the wild girl's cultivation was higher than that of the eldest son, she shouldn't have killed him so quickly.

"Brother~"

When Jiang Gaoheng sensed that his eldest brother was dead, his expression changed drastically.

"Don't be distracted, catch the mountain spirit first."

Jiang Guanyun was sad about the death of his eldest son, but this was insignificant compared to capturing the mountain spirit.

Jiang Gaoheng did not dare to disobey his father. He glanced in the direction where Jiang Gaoyou was hiding and said, "Brother, I will avenge you." After that, he went to chase Shan Ling.

After killing the Jindan cultivator, Hua Changxi realized that the old Taoist did not come to chase her.

She breathed a sigh of relief at this.

"Fatty, you're on your own."

After being hit by the old Taoist, Hua Changxi was seriously injured. The qi sea in his dantian was shaken and the circulation of spiritual energy became unsmooth.

She had just condensed the fire lotus and consumed a lot of spiritual energy. She was seriously injured and it was too dangerous for her to walk in the Five Finger Mountain where she was not familiar with the terrain.

After hesitating for a long time, Hua Changxi turned back to the cave.

The old Taoist went to chase the mountain spirit and would not guard the stone cave. Compared with other places, the stone cave was the safest for her.

Without the Taoist's poisonous smoke and talismans, Hua Changxi quickly cleared out the unbearable smell in the cave. He then quickly set up a spirit gathering formation, took the rejuvenation pill to heal his wounds, and began to meditate to heal his wounds.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but when the spiritual energy in the sea of ​​​​qi slowly returned to calm, Hua Changxi heard a "bang" sound. He opened his eyes suddenly and saw a spiritual net covering the entrance of the cave. The mountain spirit seemed to want to rush in, but was caught in the spiritual net.

"Fairy, save me."

The spiritual net was put away and the mountain spirit was pulled away. Hua Changxi ran quickly to the cave entrance, and then saw that the mountain spirit was grabbed by the old Taoist by the scruff of the neck and twisted in his hand.

"Fairy, save me."

The mountain spirit was lifted and twisted by the old Taoist priest, struggling with his hands and feet waving.

Jiang Guanyun and Jiang Gaoheng also saw Hua Changxi.

Jiang Gaoheng looked at her viciously: "Did you kill my elder brother?"

Hua Changxi was not panicking as expected, but surprisingly calm. He looked at them calmly, "He wanted to kill me, but I killed him instead. You should have expected this outcome."

"You deserve to die!"

Jiang Gaoheng roared viciously, then looked at Jiang Guanyun: "Father, kill this wild girl and avenge my brother."

Jiang Guanyun thought of his eldest son whom he had spent a lot of effort to raise, and looked at Hua Changxi at the entrance of the cave with the eyes of a dead person: "When I refine the mountain spirit, it will be her death."

The death of his eldest son made Jiang Guanyun, who thought he could control everything, feel out of control and dared not act carelessly anymore.

Jiang Guanyun was worried that something unexpected might happen, so he sat cross-legged outside the cave and meditated, preparing to refine the mountain spirit directly here.

Hua Changxi saw through his plan and his expression changed.

Shan Ling also knew what the Taoist was going to do. He looked at Hua Changxi and started crying: "Fairy."

Outside the stone cave, the old Taoist gathered spiritual light in his hands and suddenly inserted it into the fat body of the mountain spirit.

"Ah~"

Shan Ling screamed and twisted his body wildly, but no matter how he struggled, he could not break free from the Taoist's hands.

Soon, five-colored spiritual light began to emanate from the mountain spirit's body.

As soon as these spiritual lights came out, they were quickly absorbed into the old Taoist's body.

"Fairy, please leave quickly. He can't move unless he sucks me dry."

The mountain spirit's call broke the last bit of hesitation in Hua Changxi's heart, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the Buddha's hand on the top of the cave.

Since she is not afraid of the Monkey King's territory, she can just move the Buddha's hand away. No matter what happens, she will probably be fine. Since she has already formed a mortal enemy with the Taoist priest, let them die.

"Fatty, hold on for a moment. I'll move the Buddha's hand away, release the Monkey King, and kill that old Taoist priest." After saying that, he flew to the top of the cave on a cloud with a whoosh.

When the mountain spirit heard what Hua Changxi said, she was so scared that she didn't dare to cry: "Fairy, please don't, the Monkey King will kill all the creatures in Five Finger Mountain."

Unfortunately, Hua Changxi, who was pushing up with all his strength on the Buddha's hand with both hands, didn't hear anything.

"呲~"

The Buddha's hand was moved a little, and Hua Changxi heard a friction sound. He exerted more force and moved the Buddha's hand little by little. At this time, a hole slowly appeared in the hole covered by the Buddha's hand.

The sun was shining, and the light shone into the cave through the gaps that had been created.

As the light in the cave became more and more abundant and brighter, a groan that was filled with suppression in pain and excitement in suppression sounded like a whisper in the ears of all living beings in Five Finger Mountain.

At this moment, all was quiet in Wuzhi Mountain, and all living creatures looked in the direction of the third peak in horror.

At this moment, there was a voice in everyone's heart: Some ancient existence has awakened from its slumber!
