Small town inn.
The storyteller, holding a gavel and waving a paper fan, shook his head and spoke in a low voice about the strange legend of Tao Yuanshan's female ghost in red.
The long beard on his chin curls up and down with his rich expressions, and he speaks with great enthusiasm.
"...Yes, the mountain behind Taoyuan Mountain can be said to be an absolutely forbidden area within a hundred miles. No one dares to go there, especially men. The female ghost in red is said to be fond of men. She will eat the ugly ones in one bite and tie up the good ones. Got married..."
At this point, the men in the inn unconsciously touched their faces.
No, I'm so handsome, I'm afraid it's very dangerous...
As for the occasional one or two women, there was a hint of fear in the novelty. When they heard the horror, they exclaimed in low voices. In response, they shyly covered their red cheeks and said to the men in the same inn. Give him a sympathetic look.
The whole inn looked lively and smoky.
But the woman in coarse cloth who only ordered a pot of water and a plate of steamed buns in the corner seemed a little out of place.
The woman seemed to be drinking water attentively and listening to the storyteller's wonderful speech, but her almond-shaped eyes kept paying attention to the door of the inn.
Taoyuan Mountain......
The woman used the cover of the tea cup to bite her lower lip, lowered her eyes, and the look on her brows and eyes was complicated and sad, and finally turned into determination.
She can't go back, let alone run around anymore...
Taking out a dozen copper coins and placing them on the table, the woman carefully wrapped the two uneaten buns in a handkerchief, stuffed them into her sleeves, lowered her head, got up and left the inn.
People were coming and going in the inn, and it was lunch time, the busiest time of the day. The woman walked quietly, with only eyes and ears listening in all directions, wary of any guests who were eating the Overlord meal, and staring at the waiters all around. Brother noticed.
Half a day after the woman left, several muscular men dressed in shorts came to the inn menacingly.
He grabbed the shopkeeper, stretched out his hand and held up a portrait and asked.
This is just a small town, and the inn is just a small inn in a small town. The shopkeeper has never seen such a formation before. He only glanced at it and shook his head in fear, saying that he didn't know, he didn't see it.
This group of people looked fierce, but they didn't really follow the bandits. They repeatedly confirmed that the shopkeeper was not lying, and then left in a hurry.
The second brother, who was also trembling with fear, also took a look at the portrait and saw a woman in it. She was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks. Her figure was as slender as a willow. She was dressed like a wealthy lady, decorated with gold and jade. Lingluo is dressed.
She looked familiar, and a trace of doubt flashed through the younger brother's heart, but he quickly put it behind him. Such a beautiful girl, not to mention her outfit, but her elegant face, he would definitely not forget it after seeing her.
As soon as the second brother recovered from his fear, he began to wonder again whether he had to agree to the blind date arranged by his mother. Maybe he had not gotten along with women too much, and he felt familiar when he saw a beautiful girl...
At the same time, at the foot of Taoyuan Mountain.
The woman, who had been walking for half a day, was covered in sweat. She sat in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain and rested for a while, thinking for a while.
The most famous place on Taoyuan Mountain is Taoyuan Temple, but she cannot stay there. Once those people come here to search and cannot find her in the inn, they will inevitably come to nearby temples, Taoist temples and other places where they can stay.
Although Taoyuan Temple is located on the haunted Taoyuan Mountain, it is halfway up the mountain and far away from the back mountain of the so-called haunted place. The incense is still very prosperous during the day.
She planned to go to Taoyuan Mountain, but not to Taoyuan Temple.
What she wanted to go to was the haunted mountain behind Taoyuan Mountain.
No one should be able to find her there.
The woman rested for a moment, then stood up quickly before the next group of pilgrims who came together to offer incense came, and left the pavilion with her head lowered and her back curled up.
...
The old place, the familiar trees, the familiar stones.
On the grassland in the back mountain, the big oxen still squatted lazily on the grass, blowing the breeze leisurely, and sometimes lowered their heads to nibble on the green grass.
Under trees and on rocks.
Lingchu sat cross-legged, holding the lotus seal with his hands and placing them naturally on his knees. He closed his eyes and concentrated, while streams of spiritual energy invisible to the naked eye were jumping around his body.
Directing the spiritual energy to circulate in the body for several days, once, twice, three times...
boom!
During the fifth cycle, the spiritual power in Lingchu's body suddenly grew stronger, and his meridians expanded slightly, imperceptibly.
The big ox raised his head and glanced at Lingchu. The moment Lingchu broke through, the spiritual power around him unconsciously formed a small vortex, like a breeze blowing by.
It only took two or three meters and then disappeared without a trace.
Lingchu didn't open her eyes in a hurry. Uncle He told her that after a breakthrough, don't be in a hurry to stop the work. When the breakthrough was just made, the spiritual power was unstable, and what was needed was to consolidate the cultivation.
After running for three more days, Lingchu stopped.
She is now at the fourth level of Qi training, and the spiritual power in her body is more than double that of the third level.
Although the spiritual power had increased every time he broke through a level before, it only increased a little each time. This time he broke through and it doubled.
No wonder the third and fourth levels of Qi training are divided into early and middle stages.
However, the most gratifying thing for Lingchu about the breakthrough in realm was that she could finally cast some more powerful spells, which she had been coveting for several months.
After adjusting his condition, Lingchu couldn't wait to start experimenting with the Five Elements spell.
The first is of course the wood attribute spell that is most suitable for me, entanglement.
Stretching out his five fingers and forming seals with his hands, a faint spiritual power poured out from his fingertips. The ground one meter in front of Lingchu moved slightly, and a green vine as thick as a baby's arm suddenly appeared, growing to three meters high in just one breath. , as Lingchu's thoughts quickly wrapped around the trunk of the big tree, and kept climbing up.
He took a small step back, and the vines wrapped around the big tree were pulled back. The green vines collapsed straight, but there was no sign of breaking.
Sure enough, the difference between the middle stage of Qi training and the early stage of Qi training is quite big.
When he was at the first level of Qi training, Lingchu also tried the entanglement technique.
However, the vines at that time were only as thick as a finger and would break if pulled hard.
Just like that, after using the entanglement technique, there was not much spiritual power left at the first level of Qi training.
But now, after using the entanglement technique, only one-sixth of the spiritual power in the body has been consumed.
After trying the entanglement technique, Lingchu planned to try the fireball technique.
In her mind, fireball combined with entanglement was a good choice.
After the entanglement technique traps the person, throw a fireball technique over and use the wood to make fire, which may double the power of the fireball technique.
He stretched out his hand to pinch the secret in the same way, and a faint spiritual light gathered at his fingertips again.
A small orange-red fireball the size of a table tennis ball jumped happily on the fingertips without any burning feeling.
Lingchu raised his hand, and the small fireball fell lightly not far away. The moment it landed, the small fireball instantly ignited into a raging fire. The heat could be clearly felt by Lingchu from three meters away.
not good!
Lingchu never expected that a seemingly small fireball would become so fierce in an instant after being released.
So much so that she almost burned the mountain...
Lingchu, who had drained all the spiritual energy from his body and used water arrows four times to extinguish the fire, felt weak all over.
The feeling of overdraft of spiritual power was uncomfortable. After confirming that the fire was completely out, Lingchu was about to sit down and restore his spiritual power when he found a person lying upside down behind the completely burned bushes.
It's over, don't burn anyone...
Lingchu's heart skipped a beat, and he was terrified...
