The bell outside the Changchun Palace rang, and the eighteen bells sent Yun Menghun away.
The so-called morning bell and evening drum, but if it is an evening bell, it means ominous.
When the evening bell rings eighteen, in the Changchun sect, it means to send off the elders in the sect, and it is a very high-level farewell. The bell ringing eighteen means helping the soul avoid the eighteen hells, and directly sends the soul to Yunmeng Wonderland, where they can enjoy Longevity.
This is just a good wish. This custom is passed down from the longevity sect. However, even with the specifications of the longevity sect, it is impossible to avoid the eighteen hells and reach the Yunmeng Wonderland directly. Then it is not a fairy on earth. Something that can be done.
When Chen Dengming flew with He Yingyu to the Changchun Hall, the main peak of the Changchun Sect, he found that Li Yue, Liang Yunsheng and other acquaintances had arrived.
There are also two foundation-building deacons who are not too familiar with them.
However, even though they were not very familiar with each other, Chen Dengming had already paid a visit to bring some gifts, so they were basically familiar with each other. When they met each other, they would still smile and greet each other politely.
But the atmosphere is obviously different today. It doesn't seem like someone from the Changchun Sect has encountered misfortune, but it seems like a big shot from the Changshou Sect has died.
At this time, whoever dares to say hello with a smile on his face would be too filial.
Chen Dengming was extremely smart. He didn't talk nonsense after entering the palace gate. He followed He Yingyu, keeping a low profile and quietly behind him, looking cute and transparent without saying a word.
Not long after, several other foundation-building monks in the sect also arrived one after another.
Chen Dengming originally thought that this time he would finally be able to meet the sect leader Qiu Feng, the golden elixir monk.
I am wondering whether the golden elixir monks who usually do not emit spiritual power are like them, or whether they will emit a strong golden elixir aura and shine like a light bulb when standing there, which is different.
Unexpectedly, when everyone arrived, it was Liang Yunsheng, the deputy faction leader, who spoke first with a solemn expression.
"Everyone, the current battle situation on the frontline is extremely serious. The leader of the Qiu sect has gone to the Changshou Sect to discuss the battle plan. At present, I am still responsible for the overall arrangements within the sect.
First of all, I have a very heavy news to inform you that the border has been breached."
Everyone's expression changed when they heard this.
There were two Jindan elders from the Longevity Sect on Turtle Snake Bee's side, and they were actually attacked. Aren't those two Jindan elders also in danger? How can the enemy be strong?
"The person who attacked the Guishenfeng Pass was a Nascent Soul True Monarch, whose specific identity is currently unknown. There were two Jindan elders from the Changshou Sect who were stationed in Turtle Snake Mountain. One died after detonating the Jindan, and the other was seriously injured and escaped.
Most of the other dozen or so foundation-building monks were killed or injured, and some are still missing."
"Is the Nascent Soul True Lord taking action?"
"This is breaking the long-standing rule of the Four Realms Agreement. This Nascent Soul Lord will be surrounded and suppressed by other Nascent Soul Lords of the Four Domains. Why are you so crazy?"
Everyone present was shocked and whispered.
Chen Dengming huddled in the corner and took a breath of cold air, feeling chilled in his heart.
The old monster Yuanying has taken action, how crazy is this? All the golden elixir monks had to die. The only one who could escape was probably under the cover of one of the golden elixir monks' self-destruction. In addition, the Nascent Soul did not dare to go deep into the hinterland of the Eastern Territory to pursue.
In addition to the golden elixir monks, many of the foundation builders guarding the pass also suffered heavy casualties, and some people were missing.
When these foundation-building monks faced True Lord Nascent Soul, they were really no different than cannon fodder, which made Chen Dengming feel extremely heavy in his heart.
"Now Master Qi Yun, the Yuan Ying Dao Lord of the Longevity Sect, has gone to Turtle Snake Bee and rebuilt the defensive level. Although the unknown Yuanying monks have retreated, in just one day, a large number of demons and people from the Western Demon Kingdom have broken through. Entering the hinterland of the Eastern Region, causing trouble everywhere.
The longevity sect has issued an order to purge the jade, everyone, we must take action immediately and lead the many disciples in the sect to wipe out the many demons that have broken in."
After a solemn temporary meeting ended, several spiritual boats had risen from the Changchun sect, and a large number of disciples from the sect were quickly gathered. Everything was being prepared in full swing.
Chen Dengming and He Yingyu flew out of the Changchun Palace, returned to the cave respectively to pack their belongings, and were ready to set off immediately.
"Junior Brother Chen, you have just broken through the Foundation Establishment not long ago. Although you need help from fellow Taoists during this patrol, you must pay special attention to safety."
Flying through a cloud and mist, and passing by the mountainside, He Yingyu couldn't help but look back at Chen Dengming and gave a reminder.
In the palace, when Liang Yunsheng arranged to patrol the list of foundation-building monks among his disciples, she originally wanted to take the initiative to ask to be with Chen Denming. With her strength in the middle stage of foundation-building, she could take care of this junior brother who had just broken through.
However, Liang Yunsheng had other important arrangements for her, so he had to give up.
"Senior Sister He, don't worry. I'm always cautious and alert, and you know that."
Chen Dengming responded with a smile. When he saw that he had arrived at the cave in front, he immediately slowed down his speed and said solemnly to He Yingyu, "Senior Sister He, you must be especially careful. The situation is unclear now. It is still unknown how many big monsters there are among the monsters that have poured in. If we are not careful, our foundation-building monks will also be in danger."
"Hmm!" He Yingyu nodded with slightly red cheeks, then suddenly took out a bottle of elixir from the storage bag and handed it to Chen Deng.
"This is the life-saving elixir I obtained from an alchemy master in the past. Junior brother, please accept it."
Chen Dengming raised his eyebrows and was about to refuse, but He Yingyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not a valuable elixir. Senior sister also has this elixir herself."
Chen Dengming couldn't refuse immediately, so he stopped smiling and said, "Junior brother, I don't have much, so I don't have anything good to give to Senior Sister He."
He Yingyu Maimai looked at Chen Dengming for a while, then pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't expect anything good from you."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Chen Dengming couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He really didn't have anything good left.
Since refining the magic weapon, I only have a dozen or so middle-grade spiritual stones left on my body. I managed to make some gifts to other foundation-building monks in the process, but that also costs money.
Therefore, a few days ago, he had to ask this senior sister to temporarily borrow fifty yuan of middle-grade spiritual stones to give gifts and use this time to set up formations and practice.
It was really embarrassing for a dignified foundation-building monk to ask his senior sister to borrow fifty pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones, so much so that He Yingyu knew very well that he was a poor man.
"This is the tone of Senior Sister He's recent words."
Chen Dengming watched He Yingyu's leaving figure and felt vaguely that the way the senior sister looked at him and the tone of her words were a little different now.
Thinking of this, Chen Denming shook his head and smiled, then turned around and flew to his cave.
No matter what it means, his feelings about Senior Sister He have not changed from the beginning to the end, and he will not think too deeply about it.
In the cave, Chen Deng shouted to the small formation spirit to get into the soul room, preparing to go out with him to patrol.
This time out, you may not be able to come back every day, and you may have to stay outside for a long time. Chen Dengming is not worried about leaving the little formation spirit in the cave.
Although there is danger in staying outside, now that there is a soul house, ordinary foundation-building monks cannot detect the existence of the small formation spirit through the isolation of the soul house.
"Okay, that's enough. I can't even see what you are carrying."
In the cave, Chen Dengming had finished packing his luggage. Seeing that the little array spirit was still busy running back and forth between the array plate and the soul room, carrying some illusory items, he couldn't help feeling angry.
The little formation spirit hurriedly explained, pointing to its empty little hand, "Look, you can see them, they are here, I, I won't take them away, what should I do if I lose them?"
Chen Dengming was speechless and wanted to touch his forehead.
But considering that the little Zhenling's current IQ has deteriorated, he can only patiently coax a child and say, "Okay, Ling'er, I understand, but we are in a hurry now, so why don't you take some things out?
There are many bad people out there. When they see you have so many good treasures, they will take them away."
The little formation spirit was startled, and then a trace of fear appeared on his pretty face, "Really, really? Same as last time?"
Chen Dengming nodded, "Of course, just like those evil people last time."
"Okay then, I won't take it with me."
The little formation spirit threw its two little hands and then flew into the soul room.
Chen Dengming shook his head. This little guy has degenerated into the IQ of a four or five-year-old girl. He doesn't know when he will recover. Now it is very troublesome to communicate. There is a serious generation gap with him, an old guy who is almost a hundred years old.
He closed the soul house with a secret and placed it in the pouch at his waist.
This magic weapon is only the size of a fist, so it is not a problem to carry.
After leaving the cave, I saw that the black clouded leopard was still licking the soles of its feet with its barbed tongue, looking like it was picking its feet leisurely.
Chen Dengming walked over and stretched out his feet, "So comfortable? Give it to your master and let me lick it too?"
The black clouded leopard turned around and rolled his eyes like a nigger.
Chen Dengming stepped over and said, "Get up quickly, get ready to leave, and you're still lying down!"
"Ouch——"
The black clouded leopard stood up dissatisfied. It had reached a height of more than one foot, and it instantly blocked the sun. Its strong body exuded a faint evil spirit. If the two huge wings extending from its back were unfolded, the wingspan would be more than three feet, making it look very powerful. .
In the past fifty days, not only Chen Dengming made a breakthrough, but the Black Clouded Leopard also made a breakthrough once. His strength is equivalent to that of a demon beast at the ninth level of Qi training. Two small bulges have grown on the back half of his back, which contains a lot of hidden power. The strong spiritual energy fluctuates, and it seems that it will grow two wings.
Chen Dengming jumped onto the Black Panther and flicked his sleeves.
Buzz buzz——
Several golden silkworm Gu and blood centipede Gu flew out to guard the cave instead of the black clouded leopard.
These Gu insects are really eliminated now. Even if they are still of some use, they are no longer suitable for use in battles. Otherwise, if they are easily destroyed by the enemy, it will also have an impact on Chen Dengming. He can only wait for better refined Gu in the future. Kung Fu, and then find ways to slowly improve it.
Following Chen Deng's command, the black clouded leopard beat its hooves wildly and began to run.
Then he spread his wings, like black clouds crossing the sky, and flew up in an instant, drawing a beautiful leopard-like arc in the sky, and swept towards the spiritual boat in the distance.
The longevity sect called on many surrounding immortal sects to patrol and slay demons together. After this order was issued, many sects mobilized their disciples to take action.
As the Immortal Sect that is the most direct subordinate of the Changshou Sect, the Changchun Sect cannot fall behind.
Liang Yunsheng sent ten foundation-building monks within the sect to six areas respectively.
Chen Dengming and one of the fellow Taoists surnamed Guan who were in the early stage of foundation building belonged to a team. They took a spiritual boat and led a group of disciples to investigate the mountains and forests 700 miles away where traces of demons had appeared.
This entire investigation process was carried out by many disciples. Chen Dengming and Guan Le mainly raided the formation. Once danger occurred, they would take action to resolve the danger, or cover the disciples on the spiritual boat, and then escape quickly.
This kind of inspection experience is obviously a kind of experience for the disciples in the Changchun Sect.
At this time, with the strong wind blowing, Chen Dengming rode a black clouded leopard and flew directly to several spirit boats hovering at the mountain gate.
Hundreds of disciples have been gathered here, almost the best of the more than 5,000 disciples of the Changchun Sect. They all have at least the fifth level of Qi training and above, and only these people can shoulder the heavy responsibility of patrolling and hunting monsters.
Seeing Chen Dengming, the foundation-building master uncle, riding a black clouded leopard at the ninth level of Qi training, many disciples exclaimed and started talking in an uproar.
"What a big black dog demon with wings. This dog demon must have at least the eighth or ninth level of Qi training, right? It's such a strong evil spirit."
"That's not a dog demon, it's a leopard spirit. Last time, the leopard sneaked out of Master Chen's cave and went to the sect's dining hall to steal meat. It scared Master Liu so much that Master Chen even apologized. Master Chen is so humble and polite. Man, this greedy leopard is very rude."
The black clouded leopard was flying majestically and proudly, deliberately showing off in a circle above hundreds of disciples. He pricked up his ears and listened to the people below saying that it was majestic. When he heard the last word, his face became darker and he was about to fly to the spirit boat immediately.
These little bastards from the Changchun faction don't know how to respect Brother Bao.
It is the cave-protecting spirit beast under the Foundation Establishment Monk. Didn’t you see the two rows of words on its belly?
It deliberately spread its four legs to look magnanimous. Many female disciples were too embarrassed to look up, so they had to secretly admire Master Chen's profile. They saw that he was handsome, modest and calm, and his eyes were full of confidence and charm. , all talking in low voices.
"It is said that Master Chen is the youngest and most promising Master of our Changchun sect. He is only forty years old this year. He is of high rank and possesses both spiritual roots. His previous practice was also bumpy.
If he had a truly high-grade spiritual root, he would probably be a golden elixir cultivator by now."
"Forty is really young, and you are calm and mature enough."
Among the crowd of female disciples, the female cultivator surnamed Le who had guided Chen Dengming up the mountain was looking at Chen Dengming's flying figure with a slightly complicated and admiring look at the moment. Seeing that she never cast a glance downward, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. .
Chen Dengming didn't dare to stay. When he heard the remarks of the female cultivator below, he, an old guy with a thin skin, almost blushed.
Forty-year-old Master Chen is almost like a son to him.
He is Uncle Chen who is over eighty years old.
At this time, several foundation-building monks had boarded several spirit boats.
Seeing Chen Dengming flying in on a black clouded leopard, some people teased Chen Dengming for showing off his appearance, while others laughed and teased that Chen Dengming was very popular among his disciples.
Chen Dengming responded with humility and kindness, and his attitude of neither being arrogant nor impetuous made some people smile and feel less unhappy in their hearts.
People like to be friends with humble and capable people, because getting along with such people makes people feel comfortable and they do not rely on their talents and arrogance.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, if you keep suppressing others with a high profile, others will feel uncomfortable.
Soldiers are very fast, and now is the critical time to patrol and hunt demons. The Changchun disciples did not take too long to assemble.
After lighting two sticks of incense, the hundreds of disciples were divided into six teams, boarded six spiritual boats, and headed straight to their respective destinations.
On the spirit boat, Chen Dengming communicated politely with Guan Le, another foundation-building monk.
Guan Le was somewhat flattered by Chen Dengming's compliments.
Usually everyone is a foundation-building monk, but few people praise him.
Only Chen Dengming has just made a breakthrough. In his opinion, this junior brother is currently weaker than him, and there will be dangers in patrolling in the future, so it is normal to praise him.
Although it was rumored that this junior brother seemed to have defeated the vampire Taoist, there were also rumors that the vampire Taoist was taboo and did not dare to stay in the Changchun Sect's territory for a long time, so he took the initiative to retreat. Guan Le believed the latter.
"Junior Brother Chen, you are really good at building good relationships. Since the last time you asked our Master He to repair the magic weapon, Master He has been refining the magic weapon for you in the past two months. , I asked her to take action, but she was not free."
Chen Dengming smiled and said, "That's a coincidence, I didn't expect it to delay Senior Brother Guan from refining the magic weapon.
Next time something like this happens, please tell me directly, Senior Brother Guan, I would rather ask Senior Sister He to refine yours first. After all, you have outstanding abilities. "
Guan Le laughed and felt even more comfortable. He felt that Junior Brother Chen was really good at being a good person, and all the little opinions he had had were gone, so he immediately tried it with a smile.
"Hey, Junior Brother Chen, let me ask you, what do you think someone like Master He usually likes?"
"Ah?" Chen Dengming was stunned. He didn't expect Guan Le to ask this suddenly.
Looking at Guan Le's eager eyes with a hint of expectation, he immediately understood some information and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
It's not that he looks down on senior brother Guan, but he is just at the early stage of foundation building.
In terms of financial resources, he is definitely far inferior to He Yingyu. How can he be confident in pursuing He Yingyu's idea?
Although he didn't agree in his heart, Chen Dengming still agreed to be polite and chatted with each other.
Everyone has a love for beauty. He Yingyu is in such good conditions and is single. There are so many foundation-building monks in the sect. To say that they are not tempted is not necessarily a lie. Normally, he does not squint. It's pretend.
When he thought of this, he became alert again, wondering if he had gotten too close to Senior Sister He recently.
I'm afraid it has become a thorn in the side of some senior brothers.
It's just that these senior brothers are all mature and capable, and they can pretend to be serious in front of He Yingyu, and they will not show their dissatisfaction to him.
"Beauty is also a curse. I will have to be more careful in the future. Of course, there is no need to alienate senior sister because of this."
Chen Dengming thought to himself, but it was just a precaution. It would be impossible for him to change his interpersonal relationships because of this. He was just humble, not unconfident.
The flying speed of the spirit boat is much faster than Chen Dengming's escape speed.
It's a distance of 700 miles, but it only takes more than 20 minutes to fly there.
As soon as they arrived at the end of the field, the expressions of many Changchun disciples changed.
Some people even turned pale with shock, and the excitement of chatting about how to hunt monsters along the way disappeared.
Because you can see that the open space in the forest is already filled with corpses, both human and wild animals. All kinds of pulled out intestines and broken arms and limbs are scattered on a small mountain of corpses.
There was still fire burning under the mountain of corpses.
But probably because it was raining lightly at this time, the fire was not strong and the top body was not burned.
On the contrary, the corpse below was burned so much that it made a crackling sound like dry wood. It was obviously charred and cracked.
A strange and unpleasant smell mixed with the stench of corpses, forming thick smoke, which was washed away by the wind and rain. The faces of some Changchun disciples trembled violently as if they were being pulled by ghost claws, and then they couldn't bear it anymore and rushed off the spirit boat. I started to vomit loudly.
A group of mountain cultivators and a small number of disciples from cultivating families stationed here couldn't help but be disappointed when they saw such a scene. They felt that these sect disciples seemed to be too mentally fragile.
However, when they saw Chen Dengming and Guan Le, the two foundation-building monks who were flying down with serious faces, their faces improved a lot, and they immediately went up to greet them and greeted them respectfully.
"There is no need to be polite. In this special period, we are here to search out the monsters in the Western Region and completely solve the hidden dangers. What is going on here? Please explain the situation in detail."
Guan Le asked the question directly with a calm face, appearing vigorous and resolute, but he was actually a practical person.
Chen Dengming didn't say a word and allowed Guan Le to ask questions. His eyes observed the surrounding situation, often stopping at some huge paw prints in the mud on the ground.
"Go, walk around and see if there is anything suspicious. Be careful."
Chen Dengming patted the black clouded leopard and asked the leopard to look around for traces of the demon.
Although it is said that there are differences between monsters and monsters in the Western Regions, it is obviously easier and less labor-intensive for monsters to search for traces of monsters than for people to search for them.
Guan Le glanced at Chen Dengming and reminded kindly, "Junior brother Chen, be careful not to let your precious black clouded leopard have an accident. Senior brother, I will not bear this responsibility."
Chen Dengming smiled and nodded to express his gratitude, but he was not worried.
Heizi is too smart and timid. If there is really any problem, just stay away and inform him, and you won't be rash.
At this time, many Changchun disciples had basically adapted.
The physique and psychology of Qi-training monks are still much stronger than those of ordinary mortals, and they can quickly calm down after adapting.
From the description of the monk who stayed here, everyone basically understood.
This place was originally a gathering place for wild cultivators. These wild cultivators could not afford to live in the city. There were only casual cultivators who gathered in groups in the mountains and forests. Many of them had fled from the war zone very early.
As a result, the gathering place was attacked by demons yesterday, and almost everyone died tragically. The only two who escaped notified the surrounding cultivating families, who in turn notified the Changchun faction to request support.
"Almost all the more than forty casual cultivators in this gathering place are here, and the strong ones are those at the ninth level of Qi training, who should be the leaders.
But when we observed the wounds, they were basically killed very quickly, with little resistance. We suspected that there might have been a foundation-building demon that appeared yesterday."
A family monk said, his eyes frightened.
Guan Le frowned and looked at Chen Dengming, "Junior Brother Chen, I am going to order the disciples to spread out and search. You and I will be at high altitude on both sides, responsible for an area, and search with our spiritual senses. Once something is discovered, you and I will rush to help immediately, how about it?" "
Chen Dengming nodded when he heard this, "Just follow what Senior Brother Guan said."
After formulating this plan, we must take responsibility.
Once an accident occurs and a large number of disciples die tragically, Guan Le will also be severely punished. Of course, Chen Dengming will have to agree, and both of them will bear the responsibility.
Chen Dengming doesn't care about this, as long as the plan is reasonable.
Now that everyone is here, in addition to trying his best to protect his own safety, he also hopes to solve the trouble here as soon as possible. At the same time, he must also protect the safety of his disciples, otherwise it will be difficult to communicate.
Immediately, under Guan Le's arrangement, nearly fifty disciples were divided into five teams, brought all the supplies, entered the forest, and searched in five directions.
Chen Dengming and Guan Le flew to the top of the mountain forest and were located in two large areas. While slowly searching with their spiritual consciousness, they gathered formations for many disciples.
Although this mountain forest is very large, with the search speed of everyone as practitioners, it can be completely searched in up to five days.
If no monster is found by then, you can go to the next call for help.
As a result, four consecutive days passed. Everyone searched intensively during the day and set up camp at night to defend to the death, but nothing was found.
On the fifth day, many disciples had obviously relaxed and felt that the demon might have left long ago.
Even Guan Le thinks so.
In the past few days, he searched more places with his spiritual consciousness and found some traces left by demons, but he could not see any demons.
From various traces, he could almost determine that the demon had left.
Chen Dengming, however, became increasingly vigilant and held the opposite attitude to Guan Le, believing that the demons might still be lurking in the mountains and forests, or even around them.
Just because in the past few days, whenever he was practicing at night, he would feel a palpitation and uneasiness in the extremely quiet state.
This feeling of palpitations and uneasiness has even occurred to the little formation spirit before, and it has sent him emotional reminders of nervousness and fear many times.
However, whenever Chen Dengming sends out his spiritual consciousness to search, he often finds nothing.
As a result, Chen Dengming could only be suspicious and vigilant, and gradually realized that something was wrong.
In the state of being close to the unity of heaven and man, his perception ability is roughly equivalent to that of the formation spirit, and the intensity and sensitivity of his perception in close range are much higher than that of divine consciousness.
Since he was aware of the danger of heart palpitations on a whim, he couldn't take it aimlessly.
However, he could not directly tell Guan Le this kind of secret about his martial arts state of mind and the little formation spirit, he could only remind him.
…
"Hey, Junior Brother Chen, you are just too cautious. To put it bluntly, you are too timid."
After being reminded by Chen Dengming again, Guan Le sighed, shook his head and said, "Although we have to be more cautious when going out to perform tasks, you have also participated in the search these days. It should be obvious that these monsters have left.
Otherwise, if it is really still there, unless it is an ant, it will not be able to escape the detection of our spiritual consciousness. "
Chen Dengming could only clasp his fists and smile, "Senior brother is right. Maybe I'm overthinking it. In short, it's better to be careful."
After he finished speaking, seeing that Guan Le didn't take it to heart, he shook his head inwardly and left. At the same time, he turned off the audio and video bead that was just activated as a magic weapon to record audio and video.
Disciples of the Changchun sect will always carry audio and video beads when performing sect tasks.
In this way, even if something happens during the mission, it can be recorded and kept as evidence.
Chen Dengming is cautious by nature, and now he is the only one who is aware of the possible danger. This is the biggest trouble. It means that if there is a real danger, something big may happen, and someone may die due to negligence.
He has already dissuaded those who should be dissuaded.
But Guan Le refused to listen, and he had no choice but to record it with a sound and shadow bead to avoid being held accountable for what happened in the future. Then he secretly used a sound transmission jade talisman to pass the news to Li Yue, telling him about the situation here. inform.
At this time, it was time for rest. Chen Dengming walked to the forest and saw a female cultivator feeding the black clouded leopard a piece of dried meat. Not far away, there were some female disciples watching the excitement.
He walked over and took a look and found that the person he met was the musician sister who once guided him up the mountain. Now she has become the musician nephew.
As soon as he arrived, the female disciple not far away was so shocked that she stood up and saluted.
"Chen, Master Chen"
Seeing Chen Dengming approaching, Le Yue immediately stood up and said nervously.
"I, I am feeding your spiritual pet some monster meat jerky. It is following us these days. We have more courage. I just want to thank it."
Chen Dengming smiled and shook his head, "No need to explain, this is a trivial matter. It is an honor for this black panther to be fed by you, the musician nephew."
The black clouded leopard spat out a bone fragment and rolled its eyes to show dissatisfaction.
"Master, uncle, you are joking."
Le Yue lowered her head nervously, her delicate chin lowered to the bulging curve of her chest, and left after a quick bow.
Chen Dengming stopped her and said kindly, "Master Musician Nephew, although we haven't found any traces of the demon yet, don't be careless. Please do the same and tell everyone that you should also pay attention to your own safety."
Le Yue was stunned for a moment, then her ears turned slightly red, she immediately thanked him and left in a hurry.
Chen Dengming shook his head slightly when he heard a burst of women's laughter coming from far away in the forest.
I don’t know how many people Le Yue can persuade? Or did she listen to it herself? How many people still remember the cruel scene of piles of corpses they saw when they arrived four days ago?
These days, he actually specially arranged for the black clouded leopard to wander around Leyue. It was also because he accidentally discovered that the junior sister who had guided him up the mountain was in the queue, so he casually gave him some care as he could. However, he did not let Leyue Know.
"I hope I've been having heart palpitations these past few days because I'm overthinking it."
Chen Dengming raised his head and looked at the sky through the branches and leaves in the forest.
I found that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the iron-gray dark clouds were connected with the mountain gorge in the distance, covering the mountain col like an iron cage.
There are quite a few signs of the coming storm.
…
The final search was carried out smoothly, and all the uneasiness seemed to be due to Chen Dengming's overthinking.
The dark clouds that passed by during the day only caused a few drops of rain, but they also dissipated by night, and there was no heavy rain in summer.
The sky is dotted with stars, and the mountains and forests are full of the fresh and refreshing breath of nature. There are even a lot of tired birds chirping and insects chirping. It seems that the oppressive feeling of being breathless in the past few days has disappeared with the departure of the demon. .
This is actually a bit like the clouds growing in the dark place where there is no sunlight, and when the rain passes and the sun shines, there are suddenly flowers.
"Junior Brother Chen, let me tell you, it's okay, those monsters and beasts have already run away."
When many disciples set up camp at night, Guan Le came over with a cup of tea and sighed to Chen Dengming, "I received a message from Senior Brother Li yesterday that they encountered a monster over there and successfully killed it. Now they have gained a lot. Hey, We were unlucky not to meet him!"
Chen Dengming also relaxed a lot, and now he did feel less heart palpitations. He thought it was because he was suspicious, and said with a smile, "Forget it, it's better to have one less thing than one more thing to save trouble."
Guan Le snorted softly, "You are just timid. If Li Yue and the others were able to hunt down demons and find them in our hands, that would be credit and resources. Hey——"
He shook his head and turned to leave, feeling that following this timid and cautious Junior Brother Chen might bring some bad luck.
It’s okay that we didn’t encounter any monsters, but we were still suspicious for a few days, which made everyone nervous.
Chen Dengming didn't care. He always believed in safety first.
Now that he is safe and all the disciples are safe, this is a good thing.
The purpose of the longevity sect is to live without fighting against the world and pursue longevity.
Now that everyone is in peace, this is actually the biggest gain, better than risking one's life for any resources.
He entered the tent, took out the soul room where the little formation spirit was placed, placed it against his chest, and then began to practice day after day.
In the past few days in the wild, he has no longer set up the spirit-catching formation to practice, and the speed of his practice has therefore slowed down by about 40 to 50%.
But it's only for a few days, so it doesn't matter.
At night, his practice had truly entered a profound and mysterious state, and his spiritual energy continued to grow.
At this time, he had a rare dream. He dreamed of being in Nanxun Kingdom in the past, and being praised by others when he was the prince and tutor. He dreamed of pursuing the path of immortality, finding the legendary Penglai Island, and playing chess with the immortals. Play chess and learn the secret of immortality.
Looking back again, I found that everything was actually a dream.
He was still in the country of Nanxun, but he was just a rich man.
Playing the little game of cultivating immortals through time travel, becoming an immortal, and seeking immortality are all just illusions.
This is really a long spring day in front of Baiyutang, with immortals riding cranes on fusang. The sky wind blows down the Penglai water, and thousands of miles of blue clouds enter the imperial hometown.
"Immortal life is a dream? How can it be a dream? With my strength, how can I dream while practicing? Unless I have not practiced, my foundation-building realm is all fake...Do I really not cultivate as an immortal? I am still in Nan Searching?"
"No, it can't be, it can't be fake."
Chen Dengming suddenly felt a fever in his chest, and the voice of Xiao Zhenling seemed to be coming from far away, making him feel horrified and frightened.
I wanted to open my eyes, but found that I couldn't.
Even the perception of the body is extremely vague, only the struggling consciousness is still clear.
The scenes he had dreamed about before were like shadows of illusory scenes, flowing in his spirit.
However, his consciousness has broken away from these illusory scenes, but it seems that he is in darkness, unable to return to his true body, and his soul and body are unified.
"Tao, Tao, fellow Taoist. There is danger, danger!"
The voice of the little formation spirit still came frequently and urgently, and even had a faint cry of fear, as if the danger was approaching rapidly.
Chen Dengming was feeling anxious. What the hell was he possessed by? It was like a ghost pressing down on the bed.
He was a dignified foundation-building monk, but he was pressed into bed by a ghost. How could a ghost be so good at holding him down?
However, the more anxious he becomes, the more unable his spirit is to return to his physical body, and his perception of the body becomes increasingly blurred.
"quiet!"
Chen Dengming had a flash of inspiration in his consciousness and gradually calmed down, ignoring the urgent reminder from the little formation spirit.
Because this anxious reminder will also have a strong impact on his state of mind that wants to calm down. It cannot help him, but is a bad thing.
Perhaps the demon that caused him to fall into a dream was trying to exploit the fears, obsessions, and attachments in people's hearts as their weaknesses, causing him to fall into confusion, unaware of the external situation, and eventually die.
Be calm in every big event!
Chen Dengming gradually reached a state of tranquility, and his awareness of the body gradually strengthened.
Almost at this moment, a gloomy and evil aura accompanied by a figure full of cold scales suddenly tore apart the tent and sneaked into his tent silently.
Outside the tent, the mist was billowing. Where could there be any tired chirping of birds, chirping of insects, and even the snoring of many disciples had disappeared.
