I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

The dark cave.

The lights flickered on and off.

A figure lying on the ground suddenly sat up like a corpse.

"Crack-! Crack-!"

The man couldn't help but slap himself twice on the ear.

"This is real?"

There was a clear pain on his cheek, and Xu Lang could no longer doubt that this was a dream.

He really traveled through time.

He never imagined that something like time travel, which only appeared in novels, would happen to him one day.

This body now is not his.

While possessing this body, he also received all the memories of the original owner.

The owner of this body is eighteen years old, a poor scholar, also named Xu Lang.

And their looks are exactly the same.

Even the height is the same.

Except the original owner lost a little weight.

Same name and last name.

Same appearance.

This made Xu Lang wonder, is this really a coincidence?

Datang.

It is the name of the country where he lives.

It is somewhat similar to the ancient Tang Dynasty in Xu Lang's previous life, but it is not the same.

It can be understood as an imaginary dynasty.

After Emperor Taizong pacified the world, he implemented the administrative system of Daozhou and counties, dividing the country into ten Dao, 360 states, and a total of 1,557 counties.

The original owner was from Baimiao Village, Qingping Town, Shicheng County, Luozhou, Lingnan Province.

"Huh? The Great Heart Sutra."

At this moment, another message appeared in Xu Lang's head.

To be precise, it is a picture.

He saw an ocean.

On the boundless sea, a stone book stands among them.

It was the stone book he saw in the ancient tomb.

The sword was still stuck straight on it.

When he silently recited the five words of the "Great Self-Heart Sutra" in his mind, the golden characters suddenly floated up from the stone book, densely floating on the ocean.

The scene was like thousands of stars dotting the night sky.

Although the Great Heart Sutra at this time was still written in a complicated font, he did not mean it to be obscure at all.

It's like I got an enlightenment all of a sudden.

This Great Self-Heart Sutra is a spiritual method of practice.

"Heaven and earth have their own ways, and all things follow their own rules. I have my own laws, and the heaven and earth are in harmony..."

As Xu Lang continued to read, he suddenly felt a warm air rising in his lower abdomen.

That is the location of the lower Dantian.

Just as he was immersed in it, a suspicious voice sounded in his ears, interrupting his artistic conception.

"You, are you a human or a ghost?"

Xu Lang woke up from his dream and immediately retreated from the artistic conception of the Heart Sutra. He raised his head and looked aside and saw a figure standing in the corner.

He also held a stone in his hand.

That gesture had the implication that if you say the wrong thing, you're going to get smashed.

Under the dim light, it was barely possible to tell that he was a man in his early thirties.

"Naturally I'm human."

Xu Lang didn't expect there was anyone around him either.

At this time, he also began to pay attention to his surroundings.

This is a cave.

Why in this cave, the original owner has no memory of this.

His last memory was that he passed out after being beaten severely. In the daze, he finally died of serious injuries and died, and his soul returned to the underworld.

After that, Xu Lang took over the body.

The reason why the man in front of me asked in surprise whether he was a human or a ghost was probably because of his "resurrection from the dead".

"where is this place?"

Xu Lang asked the man.

When the man saw that Xu Lang did not look like a ghost, he put down the stone in his hand and said, "This is the Monkey King Ridge."

"Monkey King Ridge?"

When the other party said these three words, Xu Lang couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

In the memory of the original owner, there was such a Monkey King Ridge near Qingping Town.

Speaking of Monkey King Ridge, it is not a kind place.

There are monsters on the mountain.

A group of monkey monsters.

They often prey on passers-by and use them as food.

Xu Lang didn't have time to explore why the original owner appeared here. What he had to do was to leave here as soon as possible.

He walked toward the cave entrance.

He was injured and his steps were a bit staggering.

The entrance to the cave is not deep, only about twenty steps away.

In front of him was a thick stone gate.

He pushed hard, but couldn't move.

There is a deadbolt blocking the gate outside.

Dazzling light shone in from the gap in the gate. Xu Lang was leaning forward to take a look at the situation outside, but suddenly... a furry face stood in front of him.

There was only a fist distance from him.

He was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back.

It was a monkey face.

Across the stone gate, a monkey was grinning at it, showing a ferocious look.

Xu Lang returned to the cave.

There was no surprise at all when Xu Lang came back and sat in the corner.

He said with a dejected look: "The outside is guarded by monkey demons, and we can't escape. In the past few years, no one who has been approached by monkey demons has been able to escape. Those monkey demons should eat us tonight." "

Xu Lang frowned.

I didn't expect that I would be in such a situation just after crossing over.

"How many monkey demons are there outside?" Xu Lang asked.

"I'm not sure, but it's at least over a hundred... maybe more..." the man said.

Listen.

Xu Lang's expression became more solemn.

Although he was a martial arts enthusiast in his previous life and had some boxing skills, he might be able to deal with a few monkey monsters, but if he faced hundreds of monkey monsters, he would definitely be dead.

Break in forcefully.

Unrealistic.

How is it good?

It would be a lie to say that Xu Lang was not anxious.

Who wants to die?

Who wants to be the monkey demon's food?

"The Great Heart Sutra."

For some reason, Xu Lang couldn't help but think of the stone book in his mind. He thought of the bursts of warmth that came when he recited the Great Freedom Heart Sutra just now...

"If you treat a dead horse like a living doctor, maybe there will be a way..."

Xu Lang said a word and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

He saw the boundless ocean again.

I saw the stone book.

See the iron sword.

As Xu Lang mentally recited the words on the stone book, each word would float after he recited it.

at the same time.

At Xu Lang's lower dantian, that air current appeared again.

Continue chanting.

The airflow began to grow stronger and gradually rushed towards the perineum.

"boom--!"

I don’t know how long it took before the air flow broke through the perineum point.

Followed by Weilu point, Mingmen point, Dazhui point, Yuzhen point...

Wherever the air flow passed, Xu Lang's body felt as if it had been washed, and he felt indescribably comfortable. The injuries on his body that had been severely beaten were also recovering quickly.

A faint mist appeared on the surface of his body.

This strange sight made the men on the side stunned. Although they were surprised, because of Xu Lang's instructions, he did not disturb Xu Lang.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

There was another "boom" in Xu Lang's body, and his whole body rose up from the ground, with a faint mist lingering around him, just like the enlightened eminent monk.

"I didn't expect that the legendary two veins of Ren and Du would be opened up like this. I am simply a wizard in martial arts. I am a time traveler and a chosen one."

Xu Lang was ecstatic.

However, before he could be proud for a moment, it fell down with a "swish".

"boom--!"

This fall almost completely split his butt in two.

He stood up.

Then he punched the stone in front of him.

"boom--!"

With one punch, the stone as big as a human head in front of him immediately fell into pieces.

"boom--!"

Another punch.

A stone as big as a millstone also shattered in an instant.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Xu Lang was shocked.

After opening up Ren and Du's second meridians, he turned out to be really powerful. The power of his punch could easily break hard stones.

The man on the side was surprised.

"Brother turns out to be a practitioner."

Xu Lang has the ability, maybe they can really escape.

Xu Lang smiled and did not answer.

In fact, his ability to open up the Ren and Du channels was something he had never expected before.

In his previous life, because he liked martial arts, he also had some understanding of the so-called Ren and Du Second Meridian. He knew that anyone who had access to the Ren and Du Second Meridian had to have practiced for many years.

But now he got through it overnight.

Simply incredible.

After opening up the Rendu and Du meridians, he is actually not as powerful as the Feitian Escape in the novel, but his physical fitness has been greatly improved, which is beyond doubt.
