Chapter 44

~8 min read 1,523 words

Qi Wu and others looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief: the clay Mountain God statue actually came to life, holding a sword to remove the demon!

"The Mountain God has manifested!" A-Yue said blankly.

Qi Wu reacted the fastest: "No, someone is hiding in the Mountain God statue!"

Indeed, during the battle between the sword-holding Mountain God and the tiger demon, mud blocks fell all over the ground, revealing the original appearance of the person hiding.

It was Lu Yang.

"Son of a bitch, waited for five days, finally waited for you! It was worth me pretending to be a statue for five days. Eat my sword!" Lu Yang said fiercely and kicked out.

A person with his quick thinking likes to walk around and can't sit still. This time, in order not to be discovered by the tiger demon, he hid in the statue for five days without moving. It was really uncomfortable.

Before the crowd could react, the civil and martial Mountain God statues also came to life: "Lu Yang, the two of us will help you!"

Meng Jingzhou and Seeing Man Gu broke free from the clay sculpture and showed their magical powers to eradicate the tiger demon.

Five days ago, three uninvited guests came to the Mountain God Temple. They took Grain Bigu pills, hollowed out the Mountain God statue, and drilled in themselves.

The Mountain God statue was several times larger than an ordinary person, and it was more than enough to hold a person.

"Are you sure this method is feasible?" Meng Jingzhou and Seeing Man Gu looked at Lu Yang suspiciously.

"Combined with the information provided by Brother Seeing Man Gu, we can only wait for the rabbit... go in first and talk."

Seeing Man Gu thought about it. Is this what the book says about a gentleman hiding his tools in his body?

"It is extremely, extremely, it must be this meaning. Sure enough, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles." Seeing Man Gu was overjoyed. He couldn't understand the meaning when he read this sentence before. Now he just came out to do a mission with Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, and he had such a harvest.

Master is right. If you want to learn well, you must first find a good learning object!

The three chose their own statues, entered, maintained the same posture as the statue, and revealed a pair of eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me?" Lu Yang used the Divine Sense Technique to speak in his heart.

The Divine Sense Technique is a spell that the three of them just learned on the road. At a very close distance, no spiritual power is needed, and they can talk by relying on thoughts. It is simple to get started, and they can use it after practicing their thoughts a little.

"Can hear." Meng Jingzhou and Seeing Man Gu replied.

"Is the carriage okay?" Meng Jingzhou worried about his own carriage and the old horse.

In order to avoid being noticed by the tiger demon, they handed the carriage to a hotel in Yanjiang County to take care of.

"We know too little about the tiger demon's information. Currently, it is certain that this tiger demon's realm is between the early stage of Foundation Establishment and the early stage of Jin Dan. It is cunning and cautious by nature, worried that hurting cultivators will cause trouble, so it only eats mortals and not cultivators. If cultivators search the mountains, it hides in a certain place, and no one can find it."

"In other words, it will never conflict with cultivators, avoiding if it can, and hiding if it can."

The tiger demon can occupy Songshan for so long without being discovered by cultivators, relying on not fighting and not competing.

"So we need to hide in advance, wait for the tiger demon to come, and eliminate it in one fell swoop!"

"Tiger-type demon clans are more sensitive to spiritual power. We must not use spiritual power while waiting."

Because of this, they chose the Divine Sense Technique that does not require spiritual power to drive.

Five days later.

"Good guy, waited for so many days, finally someone came."

"Looks like a merchant?"

"Wait, why is there an old hunter? Didn't they say that because of the tiger demon, the hunters have all left?"

They investigated Songshan carefully. The locals said that the hunters on the mountain had all left, and they hadn't heard of hunters going down the mountain to sell leather for a long time.

Chang ghost!

The three exchanged divine senses and instantly reached the same conclusion. This was not an old hunter leading the way at all, but a Chang ghost who brought people here!

Originally, they were skeptical about the tiger demon, but seeing the Chang ghost now, there must be a tiger demon on this mountain!

"Did you hear what the old hunter said? He lived with several other hunters. The merchant leader found the old hunter there. It shouldn't be a lie."

"It is very likely that those hunters are also Chang ghosts, pretending to be normal people, deceiving passersby together, so that it seems convincing, avoiding people suspecting that they are Chang ghosts!"

"Should we take action to solve the Chang ghost now?" Meng Jingzhou was eager to try.

Lu Yang let Meng Jingzhou hold back and analyzed: "Don't startle the snake. Did you hear Qi Wu say that he wanted to seek help from the Five Great Immortal Sects? With the tiger demon's cautious personality, it will definitely come to solve them. Let's wait quietly. Once the tiger demon appears, I will take action, you cover me, and at the same time let these merchants stay away from here."

"Good."

"Hmm, did you hear the footsteps outside the temple? It shouldn't be the tiger demon."

Hearing Qi Wu and the old hunter wanting to drive away the green-clothed girl, Seeing Man Gu couldn't help but mutter: "Really stupid. With this female cultivator here, the tiger demon will not come to kill. The tiger demon is worried that its existence will be known. If it kills her, the female cultivator's sect will come to the door. If it doesn't kill her, the female cultivator will bring the sect to the door. It's a dead end either way. The only way is to drive the female cultivator away."

"Look, I said it right, the Chang ghost drove her away."

Lu Yang was relatively calm: "Think about it the other way around. If the female cultivator is there, the tiger demon won't appear. How long are we going to wait?"

Meng Jingzhou gave a light "hey": "Did you notice the jade pendant on the green-clothed girl's waist?"

"What's wrong with the jade pendant?" Lu Yang and Seeing Man Gu knew that many jade pendants were symbols of identity, but they didn't know much about how they were symbols.

"That is the jade token of the Moon Laurel Xiangong."

Moon Laurel Xiangong, one of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

Between the Central Continent and the Far North, there is a continuous snow mountain spanning east and west, with heavy snow all year round and rare sunny days. The snow mountain is known as the highest mountain in the Central Continent, closest to the moon.

In the snow mountain, there is a beautiful fairy palace, which is the Moon Laurel Xiangong.

"She should be in the Foundation Establishment stage. When we fight the tiger demon in a while, try to make a big movement, let her notice, and see if she is willing to help."

The other party is definitely not in the Jin Dan stage. The Jin Dan stage of the Immortal Sect can see through the old hunter as a Chang ghost at a glance, unlike now, where she is deceived when she is deceived.

After another period of time, the three watched Qi Wu and others enter their dreams, sleeping sweetly, which made them want to sleep too.

Seeing Man Gu recited the quotations of sages, using willpower to dispel sleepiness: "The sage says I reflect on myself three times a day. Are you sleepy? I'm not sleepy. Are you sleepy? I'm not sleepy. Are you sleepy? I'm not sleepy..."

"Stop reciting. I wasn't sleepy, but you made me sleepy." Meng Jingzhou let Seeing Man Gu recite silently. He couldn't help but yawn when he heard it.

"But I am reciting silently now." Seeing Man Gu replied using the Divine Sense Technique.

"Listen carefully!" Lu Yang didn't listen to the conversation between these two idiots and kept forcing himself to concentrate, always watching the movement outside.

"It's the sound of something stepping on weeds... The tiger demon is here!"

Hearing Lu Yang's reminder, Meng Jingzhou and Seeing Man Gu didn't pull each other, immediately cheered up, and prepared to fight.

"Finally waited for this evil beast!"

Lu Yang no longer hid his breath, his body shook, shattered the Mountain God statue, held a green-edged sword, and the sword light bloomed, illuminating the entire temple.
