The Great Enlightenment

Chapter 3 The Ancient Temple
He was wearing a loose green cloth Taoist robe, and his eyebrows and eyes were very immature. He looked at most fourteen or fifteen years old, and it was obvious that the mountain ghost just said that he was a child, and it was not wrong.

The girl snorted coldly again, and she had no intention of attacking again. She took the mountain ghost's aura and said, "I don't practice silently in the dojo at a young age, but instead I learn to come out and cause trouble everywhere. That is to say, I have a good temper and don't want to be with you." You have to worry more, or you will never come back today!"

"Fellow Taoist has a superb cultivation base. It's really surprising that you have cultivated Yin power to the level of true self-realization with the body of a mountain ghost." There was a pause above the white halo that shrouded every moment, and a trace of solemnity added to his eyes, "If you can go one step further, you can get rid of this mountain ghost body, and go to the city god of the Yuanyan Earth Realm , ask a heavenly court to confer the title of Zhengshen, and from now on you will be ranked among the gods of a mountain, and enjoy offerings of incense from thousands of miles around."

It's no wonder he was so surprised, it's really not easy to cultivate in the body of a mountain ghost, and it's even rarer to be able to cultivate to the upper realm of true self-cultivation.

If he can get rid of this filthy body once and be included in the imperial edict, he can rise to the top by relying on his profound background.After an unknown number of years of practice, he might be able to peek into the seat of the city god Shangshen, who is in one of the world's boundaries, and it is unknown.

"You child, maybe this is the first time you have passed through the Qingluan Mountains? So what? I'm afraid I'll never break through again in this life."

Hearing the Taoist's words, the girl showed a self-deprecating look on her face, she shook her head and turned around, her figure turned into a light white light, which rolled up a figure in the pile of rubble, and she was about to Leave here and go into the mountains.

"Wait!" The Taoist stared at the figure wrapped in the white light around the girl, his eyes froze.

The girl stopped slowly, and turned her back to the green-robed Taoist, her beautiful face twisted continuously, and finally turned into a more hideous triangular grimace, and her voice became hoarse: "Little Taoist, don't you If you want to toast and don’t eat, you will be fined.”

Although his tone was flat, there was a hint of ferocity in it.

Her yin power cultivation is higher than the profound power cultivation of the young Taoist at the initial stage of returning to the true state. The reason why she stopped before was because she was concerned about the elders behind the young man.

After all, it is the body of a mountain ghost, born from the northwest corner of the Qingluan Mountain Range, and it is impossible to leave the Qingluan Mountain Range.This young Taoist can have the cultivation base of the initial state of returning to trueness at such an age, and there must be an extremely terrifying force behind him, which is far from what she can provoke.

It's just... the clay figurine is still a bit angry, let alone her, a mountain ghost who devours countless lives! ?
The reason why the young Taoist stopped fighting was because he realized that this mountain ghost was an extremely rare cultivator of the upper realm of returning to the truth, and he was not able to subdue it at all, so the two of them were able to talk to each other before.

"Fellow Daoist misunderstood, Xiaodao doesn't have any malicious intentions, but is it too much for a fellow Daoist to kill and eat living people with such a cultivation base?" The young Taoist shook his head and smiled, "If it's just to satisfy the appetite, Xiaodao is fine." I understand, but fellow daoists don’t want to go further? If there is a day when the situation is broken in the future, and the god of the city god finds out such ferocious and violent acts of fellow daoists, I’m afraid that the mountain god who protects one side will be deprived. Arrived."

"Breakthrough?" The girl has gradually revealed a complete mountain ghost at this time, and the dark energy is scattered from her head. It is obvious that her mood is not calm at this time, "I just said that , In this life, I will never break through the realm again, returning to the true realm is my limit, you bastard...are you deaf!?"

The last sentence was roared out by it. At this time, its whole body has completely transformed into a huge and terrifying mountain ghost. It is nearly five feet long, with six legs, nine arms, and two heads. Sweeping across from his side, it became even more ferocious and violent.

"No, my words should have directly hit the sore spot of this fang. I'm afraid I won't be able to save this person this time."

The young Taoist glanced regretfully at the figure that the mountain ghost had casually thrown aside, muttered silently in his heart, flicked the sleeves of the blue Taoist robe, and without hesitation, directly drove a green and mysterious light, and hurried towards the distance go away.

Roar!
The huge mouth full of sharp teeth on the two huge heads of the mountain ghost opened to the maximum, and let out a roar that shook the mountain forest!

The invisible ripples swept wildly, the rocks cracked, the stream stopped flowing, and the entire northwest corner of the Qingluan Mountains trembled slightly under the terrifying roar.

Boom!
Suddenly, deafening bells rang throughout the entire Qingluan Mountains!

The sound of the bell sounded very powerful at first glance, but if you listen carefully, it is filled with a strange and incomparably malicious meaning, which even casts a light haze over the green mountain forest.

The bell rang, and the mountain ghost paused for a moment. Under the condensed white light, its huge body shrunk rapidly within a few breaths, and returned to that incomparably beautiful barefoot girl.

The white light around him was already crumbling at this moment, flickering on and off, his watery eyes were full of despair and resentment, and there was no more ferocity and cruelty than before.

But after a while, she put away all these emotions.Using a ray of white light to cover the waves in his eyes, he rolled up Ji Yuenian, who had already fainted again on the ground with a flick of his sleeves, and fell directly into the dense forest.

……

ancient temple.

There is no statue in the temple, only a few dilapidated but clean futons, and a rough wooden table in the corner, which has even been stained with a little dust, obviously it has not been used for a long time.

The commoner youth walked into the temple slowly, threw the big and heavy bell hammer on the ground casually, and murmured in a low voice: "These things in the mountains have become more and more disobedient these days, do you want to report to Master Bailu?" , to refine all these demons and monsters into elixirs in advance? If they are allowed to continue to be so noisy, it will really disturb my practice."

After hesitating for a moment, he still let go of the flashing thought in his mind. After all, the egret demon monarch is too majestic, even he has to be more careful every time he goes to have an audience.

The commoner youth took a few steps forward, sat upright on the futon, and slowly closed his eyes. There were streaks of mystical black and yellow true light around his body, and he gradually sank into his practice.

As the black and yellow true light permeated the ancient temple, a phantom of a small animal with golden fur gradually appeared above the head of the commoner youth. If you look closely, you will find that this small animal is also sitting upright , with his eyes closed tightly, no different from the practice posture of the commoner youth at this time.

……

There is flowing water in the mountains, which is unknown.

The gurgling voice lingered in his ears, Ji Yuenian suddenly opened his eyes, and all he could see was the refreshing green mountain scenery.The bright yellow sunlight shone through the luxuriant trees, casting mottled shadows around him.

On the side of the creek a few feet away, a slender girl in white clothes was sitting on a solid rock, her bare feet dipped in the swiftly flowing icy cold water, swaying slightly, and said softly, "Wake up?" gone."

The light white halo around her has completely faded away at some point, and the long black hair hangs down like a waterfall.From Ji Yuenian's angle at this time, she could barely see her side face clearly, and the crystal-like jade earlobes were looming in her hair, faintly glowing a little bright red, and she was no different from an ordinary mortal girl.

Slightly lowering his head, the half-foot empty sleeve on his left arm fluttered in the wind, and there were bursts of piercing pain from the wound from time to time, but compared to the previous one, it was much better.

"It doesn't hurt anymore?" The girl in white clothes stood up, took a piece of clean silk cloth by her side, and wiped the clear water drops hanging on her calves and feet, "I have cast a dark force on you. The spell can not only relieve you of the pain temporarily, but also speed up the growth of your wound, and in at most ten days, your severed arm will be completely reborn."

For some reason, the white-clothed girl seemed to have completely changed her temperament at this time, and she no longer had the slightest bit of previous ferocity.

Ji Yuenian remained silent, but his eyes lowered a little.

At this time, man is a knife and I am a fish, no matter how much nonsense I say, it is useless.

It's just that... the broken arm is nothing like what the mountain ghost said. At this moment, there are not only bursts of fiery pain from time to time, but Ji Yuenian can clearly feel that the broken arm is reborn. The speed is so fast that it is so terrifying!

Under the cover of the half-foot robe sleeves, a full two-inch arm has grown out of the originally bald arm, full of flesh and bones.

Looking up at the mountain ghost who looked like a mortal girl, Ji Yuenian's eyes dimmed for a moment, then he lowered his head again and closed his eyes slightly.

After waking up this time, the corner of the picture that appeared in the depths of his memory became more and more clear. Ji Yuenian calmed down a little, and quietly immersed himself in the distant picture.
