Start from Liaozhai to brush the gods and demons alone

Chapter 69
It was pitch black in the tent, and you could hardly see your fingers.

If it weren't for Xu Ran's current strength, he wouldn't be able to see Zhang Yun'er sitting cross-legged across from him.

The tent made of rough cowhide formed a pyramid-shaped space that was very narrow, and two people sat facing each other, their knees already touching each other's knees.

Xu Ran noticed that Zhang Yun'er's eyes were shining brightly, as if she hadn't fallen asleep, and said softly, "Can't sleep?"

"I have something to discuss with you," Zhang Yun'er nodded, "Originally I was against going to Jianzong to practice, but I just realized that I am too weak after fighting the bear demon.

We have already killed the bear demon this time, if we can get my brother's bones back, his revenge will be avenged, so I let go of one of my worries, and I plan to ask you to send me and my mother to Jianzong to find a master. "

The two thought of going together, Xu Ran smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem, you can practice in Jianzong with peace of mind, and I will visit you often."

Xu Ran didn't say that she wanted to join Jianzong. Zhang Yun'er was a little disappointed. She said, "I'm satisfied if you can visit me often. I can tell that you are no longer the old brother Ranran. I don't know what happened in the past few days. What, your strength seems to be no weaker than your senior brother, just now I was thinking, if you were so powerful back then, my brother wouldn't..."

"I……"

Xu Ran opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He couldn't tell anyone about his system, and he didn't want to deceive Zhang Yun'er.

Zhang Yun'er smiled to herself, showing her neat white teeth, "I think it's because you practiced with Master Wang and Sister Qingqing that you have the strength you have today, so I want to practice too, I want to enter Jianzong, and I will be like a senior brother in the future The end of the world with a sword.

When the time comes, wherever you go, I will be able to go and be your helper, not a burden..."

Xu Ran's heart warmed up, and she was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhang Yun'er, she said timidly: "Brother Ran Ran, maybe I will go to Jianzong in three to five days, now I finally have the courage to ask you, I was afraid that I would not dare to ask at dawn.

What do you think of me in your heart, you know that I don't want to be your sister...but I'm too fat and strong, and I'm not at all as gentle and charming as a little girl..."

……

Deep in the Bear King Valley.

Under the reflection of dozens of lights, the cliffs at the bottom of the valley are as bright as day.

Four brocade-clothed male kings knelt in front of the cliff, facing a huge statue, prostrating and chanting obscure incantations.

The statue is more than ten feet tall with a bear head, dressed in black gold armor and covered with a soap robe, majestic and lifelike, illuminated by the swaying fire, the huge black bear face looks mighty and strange.

In front of the statue, a huge boulder suddenly appeared on the ground, blocking the small half of the statue, forming a huge natural altar.

In addition to the freshly slaughtered bison heads, wild boar heads and other offerings on the table, the most conspicuous thing is a half-broken spear near the side of the statue.

The whole body is gray-brown like a rock, with only a cluster of black tassels between the spear head and the barrel, indicating that it is a long spear, not a rock sculpture.

The four brocade-clothed men finished singing and stood up together, each of them was tall and tall, with big arms and round waists.

One of the men waved his hand behind him, and immediately two bear demons stepped forward respectfully, untied the storage bag at their waist, and dumped it between the cliff and the stone table.

The skulls of various animals poured out like dumplings.

It turned out that between the cliff wall and the stone table, there was a gap half a zhang wide, about tens of zhang deep, inside which was already a mountain of skulls, including human skulls, but not many.

After the two bear demons retreated, the man in brocade clothes said to the three people beside him: "Three brothers, the day of the sacrifice once every 300 years is getting closer, but the skulls here are mostly birds and animals, and few monks or There are less than [-]% of monsters above the second level, and even mortals are less than one percent, and the mountain god is so stubborn that he doesn't allow us to go down the mountain to plunder, if the Black Wind God blames us and refuses to give us blessings, what should we do?"

The leading man in brocade clothes stroked his black beard under his chin, rolled his eyes, and suddenly sneered.

Another man in brocade clothes said: "Brother, could it be that you have a good plan?"

The man with the black beard nodded, and said in a low voice: "It is rumored that the tree's spiritual fruit in the depths of Taohua Ridge will soon be ripe. There must be countless human monks and demon masters coming to Taohua Ridge to ask the little ones to let out the wind. It is said that the altar of the Bear King Valley may be a mysterious passage to find the place where the spirit fruit is."

"This……"

The man in brocade clothes who just asked the question asked doubtfully: "Can they believe it? And if all these strong men are attracted, I am afraid that my Hei clan will be exterminated, right?"

The other two also looked at the eldest brother in unison, waiting for his explanation. It is impossible for the eldest brother to come up with such an idea of ​​setting himself on fire.

The man with the black beard narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "We have been on Taohua Ridge for more than 200 years, and we have only heard of the legend of the spiritual fruit, but how have we ever found any traces?

We can't find it, and they can't find anything, so if someone releases the rumor, they must believe it. Once everyone comes here, it will inevitably cause a fight, and we can reap the benefits of the fisherman!

As for the Hei clan, we can create a false appearance and lead the fire to the first wave of people who came here..."

The man next to him thought about it, and said happily, "Brother, what do you mean, we exit the Bear King Valley and leave this place for them to use as bait?"

"That's right," the man with the black beard sneered, "Tonight we will activate the altar of the Black Wind God. When they come here, they will definitely see that the altar is weird, and then..."

He made a gesture of cutting his neck with a knife, and the four of them burst out laughing.

……

It was early dawn, and the sun cast a touch of gold on Taohua Ridge.

Xu Ran walked out of the tent, stretched his waist, walked to the bonfire that was about to go out, stoked the embers with branches, and added some new firewood to start the fire.

Lao Wang and Yan Chixia came out of the tent one after another, greeted Xu Ran, heated up food on the fire, and chatted while eating.

Yan Chixia kept thinking about what happened yesterday, and asked, "Brother Xu, when you killed the bear demon yesterday, why did you use the sword control technique of the sword fairy?"

Only the core disciples of the Immortal Sword lineage can practice sword moves. Xu Ran knew that he would have this question, and answered irrelevantly: "It's not just the sword control technique of the Sword Immortal lineage, the technique I used to heal Brother Yan also came from Buddhism. What I learned was messy."

Lao Wang at the side gnawed on the chicken leg and nodded vaguely.

Seeing that Yan Chixia was still a little puzzled, Xu Ran asked: "Is there any explicit regulation in your sect that you are not allowed to spread the exercises outside the sect, or you cannot accept disciples outside the sect?"

"That's not true," Yan Chixia was afraid that Xu Ran would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "Brother Xu, don't misunderstand, I just saw that Brother Xu's sword control skills are superb and proficient, and he must have been taught by a famous teacher. My brother is very talented..."

Xu Ran could only smile and shook his head, Yan Chixia said understandingly: "That's right, this kind of thing is usually told not to talk about it, don't worry, in fact, because of my junior sister, I have already regarded Brother Xu as a half-sister."

Suddenly remembered something, Yan Chixia said: "Where is Junior Sister Yuner?"

As soon as the words were finished, Zhang Yun'er came out of the tent and sat shyly beside Xu Ran.

He said softly: "Morning brother, morning master."
