Chapter 219 Kunlun Mountain
Chapter 219 Kunlun Mountain
Lin Shen and his party arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain through the art of crossing. Lin Shen looked up and could not see the top of the mountain, but felt a sense of fairy air coming towards him.
Lin Shen whispered, "No wonder the Qionghua Sect chose this place as their location. It's truly a place filled with immortal energy."
Lin Yueru said, "Maybe one day we will come here to practice and get some of the immortal energy."
Lin Shen said in a teasing tone, "If I let you stay here and chant scriptures and practice Taoism every day, do you believe it yourself?"
Lin Yueru was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Lin Shen looked at the Immortal Mountain and said, "Actually, I think what Boss Chonglou said makes a lot of sense. In the six realms, only humans have love and can become husband and wife, but some people don't know how to cherish it and try to cultivate immortality."
Zhao Linger asked, "Did Chonglou say this?"
Lin Shen said, "Yes, I said this to Xu Changqing, the former head of Mount Shu, at the Well of Gods and Demons decades ago. Perhaps because of Zi Xuan, Chonglou has always looked down on him."
Zhao Linger looked puzzled and asked, "My grandma?"
Lin Shen nodded first and said, "Boss Chonglou's relationship with your grandmother is a bit difficult to explain.
But your grandmother is devoted to Xu Changqing and wants to live with him, so she has always kept her distance from Chonglou.
So the relationship between the two of them was a bit... strained. But after Xu Changqing retired, no one knew where he went.
Zhao Linger's expression became a little lost when she said this, and Anu immediately interrupted and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things for now.
Don't forget why we're here, let's see if we can find any clues about the enemy."
So Lin Shen and his group started from the foot of the mountain and walked up the mountain little by little.
The trees along the way are lush and green, with occasional bird calls and some scattered leaves on the dirt road.
Several people were talking and laughing along the way. Those who knew thought they were here to look for clues, while those who didn’t would think they were here for a picnic.
After walking for about two hours, Lin Yueru suddenly shouted, "Alert!" Jiang Wan'er asked, "What's wrong, Yueru?"
Lin Yueru first looked around, then drew her sword and said, "Be careful, I smell a strong smell of blood!"
Lin Shen took a few deep breaths of air and indeed smelled a strong smell of blood. He then summoned his staff and held it in his hand, saying, "Girls, be alert! Something's happening!"
So Zhao Linger picked up the Heavenly Snake Staff, Anu drew out the Sun and Moon Divine Sword, and Jiang Wan'er also drew out the Frost Condensation Sword, and the five of them walked forward back to back.
After walking a short distance, Lin Shen was shocked by the scene before him: a place that looked like a transit station, with two thatched huts, a few tables and chairs, and a simple pavilion, with corpses lying all over the ground.
Zhao Linger covered her mouth in fear. Anu said, "What...what's going on?"
Lin Shen said, "This... this is simply a massacre. Oh, right... hurry up and see if there are any survivors."
Although everyone felt that the possibility was slim, they still searched to see if there were any of these people still breathing, but in the end, there was not a single survivor.
Most of the dead had marks from swords and knives on their bodies, while some had blood marks on their chests or backs from claws. After inspecting the area, Lin Shen stood up, closed his eyes, took a breath of the bloody air, and then slowly exhaled.
Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos, let's bury them."
Anu stopped making a fuss at this time and said, "Brother Anos, who are they? This looks like a place to rest."
Lin Shen glanced at the tables, chairs, and pavilion and said, "This place was built as a temporary stopover by people who wanted to go up the mountain to look for those immortal cultivation sects. It allows other seekers of the Tao to have a cup of tea and rest their legs."
Lin Yueru checked the weapons of the dead one by one. Some of the swords had their blades bent, some had several holes cut in them, and some were even broken in half.
It can be seen from the scene that they were really fighting for their lives, but they were not good enough and could not escape the disaster.
Lin Shen looked at the corpses on the ground and said, "It seems that the battle between good and evil in this world is far from over."
Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos, don't be sad. Let's just bury them."
Lin Yueru said, "Yes, Sister Ling'er is right. I remember you said that if there is no darkness in this world, light will be meaningless."
Lin Shen smiled bitterly and said, "You're to blame, Yueru. You hit me with my words."
Jiang Wan'er said, "Anos, return to your original state. No matter who the enemy is, use your strength to kill him!"
Lin Shen thought that since he defeated the water monster, he had become very careful about his life and found it difficult to fight with his full strength.
I don’t know if it’s because of his experience with the Book of Life and Death, and the fact that he has four girls by his side, that he has become indecisive and his fighting spirit is not as strong as before.
His subsequent battle results were not as good as before. He was defeated by Li Xiaoyao in one move and was almost killed by a giant bird on Xianling Island.
Lin Shen thought about this, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and said, "I know, I know what I should do. Let's collect their bodies first."
Just as they were about to bury the dead, they heard some movement in the bushes nearby. Lin Shen walked slowly over with a staff in his hand. Suddenly, a man jumped out from the bushes and chopped at Lin Shen with a machete in his hand.
Lin Shen held his staff horizontally to block, and the knife hit the staff. Lin Shen exerted his internal strength and forced the man back.
Lin Shen injected spiritual power into the staff and shot a bolt of lightning at the man. The man was unable to dodge and was hit by the lightning.
Zhao Linger shouted, "Brother Anos, please spare his life."
Lin Shen actually had no intention of killing him, so he unilaterally withdrew his attack, and the man was electrocuted and unable to move.
Lin Yueru said, "Who are you and why are you attacking us?!"
The man had a blank look in his eyes, and he kept muttering, "Monster, monster, don't... don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Zhao Linger took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then said to Lin Yueru, "Sister Yueru, this person is obviously frightened by the scene of the dead all over the ground, and he is a little confused."
Lin Yueru said, "What should we do then?"
Anu said, "That's easy, leave it to Anu." After that, Anu took out a poisonous insect and fed it to him, then slapped him. The man shook his head a few times and said, "Where am I?"
Lin Shen said, "Why, you don't remember?"
The man took a look at his surroundings and said, "I... I remember now. It was a... a monster. It was a monster that killed them!"
Jiang Wan'er said, "Brother, calm down and tell me slowly, what happened?"
The man said, "My name is Lin Yiping. Like them, I want to join the immortal cultivation sects in Kunlun Mountain.
But just yesterday, a group of people and demons suddenly attacked us.
No...it would be more accurate to say it was a massacre. There were hardly any survivors. I only managed to survive by hiding in the bushes."
Lin Yueru asked, "So what did these people say?"
Lin Yiping thought about it, shook his head at first, then patted his head and said, "I remember now. They were saying 'Let you cultivate immortality, let you cultivate immortality' while they were doing it."
Lin Shen asked, "What characteristics do they have?"
Lin Yiping shook his head and said, "No."
Lin Shen was afraid that this kid was cheating, so he gathered spiritual power with his fingers, tapped Lin Yiping's forehead and read his memory. Sure enough, just as Lin Yiping said, the people here were massacred by a mysterious force.
Jiang Wan'er asked quietly, "What is Anos doing?"
Zhao Linger whispered, "Brother Anos is reading the other person's memory, and he's afraid that he won't tell the truth."
Lin Shen withdrew his hand and said, "You didn't lie, but these immortal sects are not peaceful right now, so I advise you to give up for now and come back after the situation calms down."
Lin Yiping said, "How could this happen?"
Lin Shen didn't say anything but just nodded, so Lin Yiping walked down the mountain with a disappointed look on his face.
Several people looked at Lin Yiping's lonely back and felt sad for him. They wanted to ask the immortal for advice, but they almost suffered death.
Lin Shen glanced at the road leading up the mountain and said, "Let's continue up. I hope we can find some clues."
Everyone replied "Okay!" and continued walking up the mountain.
