Chapter 731 Mount Tai

Chapter 731 Mount Tai

In the cave, a little squirrel with bright purple hair looked at Lu Chen timidly. It felt that this man was scary.

When Lu Chen saw Xiao Song burrowing straight into the hole and hiding behind the stone Buddha, he wondered what he was like in the eyes of other creatures.

He didn't disturb the little squirrel's practice, but just threw down a small bottle of spiritual liquid. This was a gadget dropped by the enemy. It could heal wounds and condition the body. It was only useful for low-level monks.

Then he jumped directly into the gap and followed the clues to move forward. This should be one of the few places on earth where one can come into contact with the dragon's veins.

After walking a few hundred steps forward and passing through an obscure crack, another world suddenly opened up in front of me.

You can see a long dragon-like mountain range crawling in the distance, with a huge mouth opening at the dragon's head. It is so lifelike that it makes people marvel at the magic of heaven and earth.

This is a manifestation of the transformation of dragon veins. Even in Beidou, you cannot find such large dragons.

The earth alone is not enough to give birth to ninety-nine such dragon veins. This was the great effort of the ancient heaven, and was later discovered by the Yuhua Shen Dynasty and took over.

Behind Lu Chen's back, a little purple squirrel timidly hid behind a stone, peeking at Lu Chen's movements.

Lu Chen found it funny and turned around to wave, "Come here, I won't hurt you."

But when the little squirrel saw Lu Chen turning around, he trembled in fright and ran away quickly.

It wasn't until Lu Chen walked under the dragon's head and looked at the open mouth that the little squirrel ran over again.

After several tests, it found that the other party did not mean to harm itself, but his breath was too scary.

The little squirrel timidly raised a pine nut and handed it to Lu Chen like a treasure. Afraid that Lu Chen wouldn't understand, it put down the small jade bottle it finally held in its mouth and pointed at it, meaning to thank Lu Chen for giving it the spiritual liquid.

Lu Chen took the pine nuts, and Xiao Song bowed repeatedly, then disappeared again.

He smiled and began to check the end of the dragon's veins. There was a small depression under the dragon's mouth, with a few milliliters of earthly milk liquid remaining in it. It was flowing down from the dragon's mouth, and it looked a bit like ambergris saliva.

Xiaosong hid behind a stone not far away and looked at Lu Chen eagerly. That was what he relied on for daily practice.

"Don't worry, I won't take it from you."

Lu Chen studied the dragon head and said to Xiao Song that this thing has a similar effect to the source and is only effective for monks below the fourth pole. What he came here to find is the dragon marrow. After arriving at the Dragon Transformation Realm, if there is no dragon marrow, The speed of practice will slow down.

But Lu Chen studied this dragon vein for a long time, and finally came to the regretful conclusion that it was indeed exhausted.

This is not one of the ninety-nine dragon veins collected by the ancient heaven, but one that originally existed on the earth. When the world is exhausted, this dragon vein has "died", and it is impossible to find the dragon marrow.

It seems that if you want to find the dragon marrow needed for cultivation, you still have to go to the forbidden place where the ninety-nine dragons gather.

He walked around here and found nothing, so he could only shake his head and leave.

When I walked out of the crack in the ground, a gust of wind blew behind me, and the little squirrel followed. It was holding a small stone bowl in its hand, which was almost as big as its body. It was raised above its head, looking very funny.

There was a little bit of ground milk liquid in the stone bowl. Xiao Song jumped up, meaning it was for you.

"This thing is of no use to me, you can keep it for your own cultivation."

Lu Chen lamented Xiao Song's innocent character. No wonder Ye Fan liked this little apprentice so much.

Lu Chen reached out and pointed at the little squirrel, which made him very scared, but he couldn't move away and could only close his eyes tightly.

But when it opened its eyes again, it found that nothing had happened, except that one of the hairs on the purple fur turned red.

Lu Chen didn't want to compete with Ye Fan for his apprentice, so he did it casually, leaving a sword intention to protect this innocent little guy.

Before leaving the snow area, he returned to the land where he first landed and dug down into the hole he crawled out of. He was confused at the time, but he did not check carefully.

Thinking about it now, it might not be a coincidence that he ended up here. Sure enough, after some searching, he found a dragon vein deep in the ground.

But unfortunately, like the one at Xiaosong's place, it has dried up, leaving only a pool of milky liquid.

He put it away and prepared to give it to Xiaosong the next time he saw him.

When they returned to the ground, a shadow rushed over and pounced on Lu Chen.

Lu Chen raised his hand to hold it against it. It was Gray Wolf. This lazy dog ​​stuck out its tongue and licked Lu Chen's hand, its tail wagging back and forth.

Lu Chen had used his spiritual power to groom his muscles before. It had to be said that this lazy dog ​​was very smart. He knew that Lu Chen was special and came to please him as soon as he saw him.

"Stop following me. Aren't you afraid that your cattle and sheep will be lost?"

Lu Chen laughed and cursed, the shamelessness of this damn dog is similar to that of the Black Emperor on the other side of the starry sky.

But Big Big Wolf persisted, rubbing against Lu Chen's body, as if he wanted to get some more benefits.

Helpless, Lu Chen could only pick up the lazy dog ​​and take it directly to Ram's house.

"God!"

An exclamation rang out, and Pa Zhuo said in shock when he saw Lu Chen dragging Big Big Wolf towards him.

After the shock, he ran to Lu Chen very excitedly, "God of the grassland, please save our Ram?"

Lu Chen put down Big Big Wolf and frowned, "I'm not a god, what's going on?"

He said in his heart that if something happens, you should go to the police, but why go to me?

"That's it. Didn't Ram go on a trip before..."

Although Pa Zhuo was excited, his narration was quite clear and he could tell the general outline in just a few words.

Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that it was still his fault.

Ram went on a trip with his classmates during the winter vacation and went to Mount Tai. However, he encountered an accident and was robbed.

It's funny to say that the girl who once thought that Lu Chen was robbed and stripped while traveling was robbed when she went on a trip.

But the person who robbed her was no ordinary person. Lu Chen guessed that it was a monk.

Pa Zhuo didn't know much about the details. He only said that his daughter sent a text message before she disappeared. She only typed two words, "Jade Pendant", and there was no further comment.

Of course, officials went to search after that, but after so long, there was still no news, and the person seemed to have evaporated.

Among Ram's classmates were people who went to Mount Tai together, but they all said they only saw Ram leaving with others and never showed up again.

"This is an oversight on my part. I happen to be going to Mount Tai, so I'll keep an eye on it."

Lu Chen said, as the saying goes, a man is not guilty of carrying a jade. That gadget is nothing to him, but to the monks in the Age of Dharma, it is a treasure.

The other party took Ram away, probably because they wanted to find out the origin of the jade pendant.

"Thank you God, thank you God."

Pa Zhuo thanked him repeatedly, but when he looked up, he found that Lu Chen had disappeared.

…………

Some time passed, Lu Chen's broken jade bottle had been auctioned, and a huge sum of money was transferred to his account.

He asked someone from the auction house to help him buy a villa in a quiet place in City B. The remaining money was transferred to Ye Fan's parents, but he expected it would end up at the orphanage.

Although he had settled on a residence, he did not live there. He just asked the two old people to move there.

He looked up at the high mountains in front of him. Mount Tai swallowed Xihua, pressed Nanheng, drove Songzhong, and Yibeiheng. It was the leader of the Five Mountains.

Ancient Chinese ancestors often regarded the majestic and strange Dongyue as a god, and worshiped the mountain god as an object to pray for good weather. Therefore, Mount Tai in the east became the "auspicious mountain" and "the place where all things are nurtured". House of the Gods.”

The "Son of Heaven", who was appointed emperor by fate, regarded Mount Tai as a symbol of national unity and power. In order to repay the favor of the Emperor of Heaven for his "ordination", he must also go to Mount Tai to enshrine the gods and offer sacrifices.

It is said that in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor once climbed Mount Tai, and Emperor Shun once patrolled Mount Tai. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, King Xiangtu of Shang built the Eastern Capital at the foot of Mount Tai, and the Emperor of Zhou built Qilu with Mount Tai as the boundary. Legend has it that before the Qin and Han Dynasties, 72 generations of kings came to Mount Tai. Mount Tai was enshrined as a god. Since then, Qin Shihuang and other ancient emperors have come to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices and carve stones to commemorate their merits.

Originally, later generations thought that the emperors of the past dynasties were relying on the power of Mount Tai to consolidate their rule, but at least in this world, Mount Tai is definitely a sacred mountain, and the kings of the past dynasties came here not just to show their respect for heaven and earth.

In Lu Chen's spiritual perception, this mountain is tall and majestic, far more majestic than it appears on the surface. Even compared to Beidou and Ziwei Ancient Stars, it is definitely a first-class majestic mountain.

What happened to Ram was beyond his expectation, but he was also worried about finding people in the spiritual world to explore the ancient secrets. Now as long as he found Ram, he would be able to follow the clues and come into contact with the world behind him.

In today's Dharma-ending era, monks live a very low-key life. The cultivating families usually look like ordinary people, and their children go to school.

As for things like fighting with each other, they are becoming less and less common. After all, in a society governed by law, killing requires a life.

So Lu Chen didn't think too much before. He didn't expect that a brave monk would attack ordinary people.

Strictly speaking, this violates the unspoken rules among modern monks.

Before climbing the mountain, Lu Chen passed by the parking lot of Mount Tai Scenic Area and suddenly remembered an interesting incident when he was talking to Ye's father and Ye's mother a few days ago.

How much parking fee will I have to pay for Ye Fan’s Mercedes-Benz after fifteen years?

He had this doubt before, but after asking Ye Fan's parents, he learned that the car was driven back not long after Ye Fan's accident.

But because Ye's father and Ye's mother seldom went out, they sold it directly and donated all the money to the orphanage.

He climbed the mountain and met several monks during the process, but the highest level was only the other side. He looked young. With such cultivation at such a young age in this Dharma-ending era, he must be a descendant of a family of practitioners.

Lu Chen stopped a few people, took out his mobile phone and pointed at Ram's photo and asked, but the young monks were clueless.

Oh, of course the questioning process is not very pleasant. After all, young people who practice are arrogant and arrogant, and they are always not cooperative if they don't show their hands.

Finally, Lu Chen came to the place where the Nine Dragons Coffin landed, which was also the place where kings of all dynasties enshrined themselves. Here he met several young people, and the one with the highest cultivation level actually had the Dao Palace realm.

The man in the lead, with his majestic appearance, was chatting and laughing with the fellow Taoist beside him, telling rumors about Mount Tai.

Seeing Lu Chen approaching, his heart tightened inexplicably. He felt that this young man was very threatening, and he was probably not a mortal.

"Fellow Taoists, I want to ask you something."

Lu Chen spoke first.

The leading man was wearing a white casual down jacket and made an ancient salute to Lu Chen. "It turns out to be Brother Dao. My name is Li Zizai. Can I ask you something?"

Lu Chen took out his mobile phone and showed the photo above to Li Zizai, "This is a friend of mine who disappeared in Mount Tai before. She may have been taken away by someone in the circle. I want to find her whereabouts."

There was a man and a woman beside Li Zizai. They looked at Lu Chen with confusion. They couldn't tell how deep Lu Chen was. They just felt that they were both young people and the other man was much scarier. Moreover, the evil aura on his body made them doubt this man. Killed people.

Li Zizai looked at the photo and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I have never seen this girl."

Lu Chen wasn't disappointed when he heard this. It wasn't that easy to find someone, and he didn't plan to make a big fuss and make people laugh. That wouldn't be good.

He turned to leave, but Li Zizai stopped him, "Brother Taoist, please stay."

Lu Chen paused, wondering why he always felt it was unlucky. He turned to look at Li Zizai.

Li Zizai felt a little embarrassed when Lu Chen stared at him, "I haven't asked my Taoist brother for his name yet."

"I'm sorry, my name is Lu Chen."

Lu Chen replied, not leaving in a hurry anymore, wanting to see what else the other party had to say.

"It turns out to be Brother Lu Dao... I have no impression of this girl, but I heard that a few days ago, several Taoist brothers from Jiujiang got into trouble in Mount Tai. I thought it would end badly, and that the family would be affected. The elders punished him, but then there was no movement."

Li Zizai said.

"Ah, I heard they caught a tourist, but it was against the rules."

The female cultivator next to Li Zi also remembered this matter.

"Jiujiang... I understand. Thank you Brother Li for showing me the way."

Lu Chen nodded. He remembered that there seemed to be a cultivating force in Jiujiang. "Brother Li, does he know where the Jiujiang family is?"

Li Zizai was a little surprised, "Brother Lu Dao, don't you know? Jiujiang... is very famous."

"Having lived in the mountains for a long time, she was just born."

Lu Chen explained.

After Li Zizai informed Lu Chen of the location, he asked again: "Brother Lu Dao, I know you are good at cultivation, but this is just a small matter. I heard in Jiujiang that there is an old monster from the Dragon Transformation Realm sitting in charge. Don't mess around." , explain the situation more respectfully, and they should give face to fellow Taoists in the circle and let him go."

Lu Chen smiled, knowing that Li Zizai meant well, "Thanks for the reminder."

He did not leave in a hurry, but explored the Fengchan site and found the remains of a five-color altar, but it had been torn apart long ago. It was said that many of them were taken away by the West, and now only a dent is left. .

"Brother Lu Dao is also here to pay homage to the relics of the sages?"

Li Zizai was obviously very talkative. The other two were quite wary of Lu Chen, but he kept coming up to talk.

"I just heard that the Nine Dragons pulled the coffin in the past, and I wanted to come here to see something extraordinary."

Lu Chen explained, feeling regretful that now there is nothing left in Mount Tai.

That group of short-sighted monks ran amok and divided up the five-color altar and some utensils. Little did they know that only the complete ones were effective. If they were divided enough, they could put them back together and there would be ghosts.

This was originally a complete ancient road node. Whether it was the ancient road to the starry sky or used as a guide coordinate, it was an important place for Blue Star. But now it has been demolished.
