Buddhism

The group of four continued to move forward, a small path leads to the top of the mountain, and there is a mottled stone tablet next to the entrance of the path, on which the word "Gaoyuan" can be vaguely seen

"The name of this mountain is Gao Yuan, which is a unique name." Qing Mo stood in front of the stone tablet and said seriously.

Mu Youfang looked at the rugged and winding path, and the stairs were higher and higher, and there was no end in sight: "This mountain is quite high, with lush flowers, plants and trees, and it seems to have the traces of a cloud mountain."

This mountain has a lot of aura and is suitable for cultivation.Chi Tong raised his head and looked up at the top of the mountain, thoughtful.

Kong Qing stepped up the steps first: "They're all here, so let's go up and have a look."

Kong Qing took the first step, and Chitong followed.

Seeing this, Qing Mo and Mu Youfang stepped up and followed behind.Stepping on the stairs, climbing up step by step, with occasional breeze blowing.The sun shines on the four of them through the gaps between the leaves on both sides. The four of them strolled in the courtyard, very leisurely.

Chi Tong could feel that Mu Liang was still following in a leisurely manner, but he wasn't sure what his intentions were.Chi Tong secretly paid attention to Mu Liang's movements, without showing any signs of expression.

When the four of them stop and go and climb halfway up the mountain, the sunset glow dissipates, the sky is hazy, and the chirping birds and insects gradually fade away.

Qing Mo stopped and stretched his body, looked up at the small path in front of him: "Let's find a place to rest and continue tomorrow."

Kong Qing stopped, seeing that it was getting dark, and they were not rushing.Chitong didn't sense any other threats here, and she also tacitly stopped to rest.

Mu Youfang looked around, and there was a flat ground in front of him. He pointed to the open space and said, "Let's go there and rest."

"En!" Seeing that it was indeed a good place, Qing Mo walked over first.A few people walked to the flat ground, picked a place that was fairly clean, and sat on the ground to rest casually.

Qing Mo opened the bag, took out the bottle, and took a sip each.There was also dry food in the bag, which were a few pancakes he had brought along temporarily, and he also took them out.Qing Mo and Kong Qing were holding the dry biscuits, putting them into their mouths symbolically every time, and ate a little perfunctorily.

Chitong didn't want it at all, and sat aside and looked around.Mu Youfang lived a hard life and didn't have high requirements for food, as long as he could fill his stomach.He wasn't very hungry either, so he ate slowly, mouthful by mouthful.

The biscuits were rough and tasteless, without texture, Qing Mo lacked interest in eating, like chewing wax, he suddenly wanted to eat barbecue.He stuffed the unfinished pancakes in his hands to Mu Youfang, and said to Chi Tong: "The soil in this mountain is fertile and the trees are strong, with red flowers and willows. There must be a lot of prey. Let's go and see if there are any suitable prey nearby." .”

Chi Tong looked at Kong Qing's tasteless appearance, and nodded.But he didn't intend to leave, because the person who was observing in the dark was still there. He didn't know what he meant, probably because there was an enemy or not.He let go of his consciousness and sensed the surroundings, and found that there was movement on the left side of the front, and asked what kind of small animal the smell should be.

Qing Mo was sitting next to him, and he whispered to Qing Mo, "It's not far from the front, come back when you catch it, don't delay."

Although Qing Mo's spiritual power was suppressed, there was no problem with Mu Liang's ability to protect himself.The reason why he was so cautious was because he had just felt a ghostly aura that seemed to be there.

Kong Qing and Mu Youfang are both weak and bookish, with no strength to restrain them.How could Chi Tong feel at ease to keep the two of them, so he could only tell Qing Mo to go back early.

"Okay!" Qing Mo got up and walked forward, back and forth in less than two quarters of an hour.A dead rabbit was caught in his hand. The rabbit was covered in gray fur, fat and strong.He was very happy and said to the three of them: "This rabbit from Gaoyuan Mountain is even more plump than our rabbit from Yunshan Mountain."

Mu Youfang looked at it and said with a smile: "It's really fat." He naturally took the dead rabbit from Qing Mo's hand and started to deal with it aside.

Kong Qing was a little tired from walking all the way, so he rested on Chitong's shoulder.He smiled lightly: "It's indeed comparable to Yunshan's. Have you seen any other wild animals?" Kong Qing was a little curious, whether this Gaoyuan Mountain is also like Yunshan, with abundant spiritual power and rich wild animals.

"I came back after catching the rabbit, and didn't pay attention to anything else." After Jing Kongqing said this, Qing Mo suddenly remembered Chitong's previous caution.His spiritual power was suppressed and he couldn't notice anything. If there was anything strange, Chi Tong would definitely notice it immediately.

He leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Chitong, what's unusual around you?"

Chi Tong pursed her lips, looked coldly at the tall tree where Mu Liang was hiding, and said calmly: "There is a person on the tree over there, who has been with us all afternoon." Qing Mo subconsciously went to Look, it was stopped by Chi Tong: "Don't move, don't make a sound, I just want to see what he wants to do."

Kong Qing was surprised: "Someone followed us? Why?" A white shadow flashed in his mind, he thought of the white-clothed Taoist priest he met in the teahouse, and he also remembered the Taoist priest named Muliang, whom they had met in the restaurant.Chitong just said that he had been with him all afternoon, and they met again at the teahouse in the afternoon. He asked with [-]% confirmation: "Could it be the Taoist priest in white at the white teahouse?"

Chi Tong nodded.Kong Qing looked cold and solemn, Mu Liang might have noticed something.

Chi Tong glanced behind Qing Mo, the dark night was extraordinarily quiet.There seemed to be something silently growing and spreading in the darkness, Chi Tong's indifferent expression turned a bit cold: "This mountain is unusual, I'm afraid there are monsters cultivating here, so we have to guard against it at night."

Qing Mo is more concerned about whether the existence of the demon is threatening or not. After all, his spiritual power is suppressed and can't help him.If the demon is too strong, Chitong will be at a disadvantage if he wants to protect the three of them. He doesn't want everyone in the group to be in danger: "How is the cultivation of the demon in the dark?"

Chi Tong remained calm: "The distance is too far, so I'm not sure yet." Looking at Qing Mo's slightly wrinkled brows, Chi Tong continued without changing his expression, "But don't worry, it's okay to protect you."

Qing Mo understood, in order not to let the observers see anything strange, he sat back on his body.Talking harmless jokes with Kongqing and Chitong.Mu Youfang was concentrating on handling the rabbit, and didn't notice the whispered conversation between them.

The four of them gathered around the fire, and the prepared rabbits were roasting on top of the open fire.The roasted oil oozes out, and a smell of meat spreads in the air. Qing Mo pouted his head, staring at the roasted oily rabbit salivating, looking forward to it.

The smell of meat was carried into Mu Liang's nostrils by the breeze, and the smell of meat permeated Mu Liang's whole head. Mu Liang took a look at the very delicious roasted rabbit meat, retracted his five fingers, and kept himself calm as usual.He let out a breath, and took out the dry food in his bag with a blank expression.Looking at the scene under the tree, he ate a mouthful of water and dry food.

The four ate the rabbit meat, and Qing Mo ate the most, and he was very satisfied.After eating, it got dark, and the four of them chatted around the fire for a while, talking about some commonplace things, after chatting for a while, Kong Qing leaned against Chi Tong, Qing Mo and Mu Youfang Leaning against the same big tree, the four of them adjusted a comfortable posture and began to close their eyes to rest.

But Mu Liang, who was lying on the tree, did not dare to close his eyes and fall asleep so reassuringly. His eyes were shining, and he looked around the forest by the moonlight.This situation continued until the second half of the night, without any abnormality, Mu Liang, who had been concentrating for several hours, looked a little relaxed and slightly tired.

Mu Liang patted his forehead to keep himself awake.He shouldn't have gone up the mountain alone, he should have gone up the mountain with his fellow sects to encircle and suppress them. According to reliable news, the monsters who practiced in Gaoyuan Mountain have a high level of cultivation.It was discovered by a fellow apprentice who came here to inspect a few days ago.When the news was released, he happened to be close and came over first.

I planned to meet up with other colleagues in the teahouse at the foot of the mountain, but unexpectedly ran into Chi Tong and others.The last time he ran into him, he noticed that Chitong was unusual, and this time he went to Gaoyuan to encircle and suppress the big monster.Their trip was also Gao Yuan, and he didn't know what their intentions were, but with doubts about Chi Tong, he immediately decided to follow and have a look.

Other fellow apprentices like to practice together in small groups, but he is different. He has been indifferent since he was a child, and he doesn't like excitement. Since then, he has formed a solitary personality, so he is alone from beginning to end.Only in some large-scale encirclement and suppression will he cooperate with his brothers and sisters.

Mu Liang is the closed disciple of Master Shui Huan of "Moon Cloud Pavilion".Master Shui Huan is the second elder of Yueyun Pavilion and only accepts Mu Liang as a disciple. Yueyun Pavilion is currently the largest Xuanzhen sect with strong strength and many disciples spread all over the place.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound, and Mu Liang was shocked, and he felt a gust of wind blowing towards his face.Mu Liang paused: There is a murderous look!He immediately flew away from the big tree, and the moment he flew half a foot away, the big tree was split into several pieces.

Mu Liang's figure landed on another tree, he stood on the top of the tree with one foot, the wind ripped his clothes, his long hair and the end of his white forehead, one black and one white were flying in the air.He looked at the compass in his hand, the needle in the compass was spinning crazily, Mu Liang looked stern, he knew it was probably the monster who came.He drew out the sword behind his back, and slashed towards him with a murderous attack, blocking the killing move.

Mu Liang's eyes were cold and stern, facing the darkness in front of him, he knew that the monster was hiding in the darkness.The younger brother who released the news, Xu Shi, was too knowledgeable and didn't dare to pry into it. He only said that there was a monster in the mountain, but he didn't know what it really was.

Therefore, Mu Liang can't prescribe the right medicine, let alone kill him with one blow.So he can only be cautious.He listened to all directions and looked around, waiting for the demon to attack again.

Chi Tong looked in Mu Liang's direction, the corners of his mouth raised, he really wanted to see what the Taoist priest was capable of and how long he could last.

His eyes moved to Mu Liang's right through Mu Liang, the thing hiding in the darkness was interesting.When the monster attacked for the first time, he had detected the real body of the monster, but it was just a spirit monster that had cultivated for hundreds of years.
