Chapter 181: Yearning for freedom
The back of the Wuming Mountain Peak has always been dim, even during the day. After Lu Chen walked into the dark range, he felt that the temperature around him seemed to have suddenly dropped a lot. At the same time, a wave of cold wind blew continuously from the front, as if the terrible palm of the ghost touched the flesh and blood skin.
Lu Chen was not too surprised by this. This was just one of the common sights in the dark place. It was frightening to the secular mortals. For ordinary monks, it might be a little troublesome because of the rareness, but it was already commonplace for him.
He seemed to have a natural ability to blend into darkness, and he was like a fish in water in this shadow, silently sneaking forward without any trace.
Not long after, Lu Chen saw the black mansion.
The black gate was open at this moment, and He Yi could be vaguely seen standing in the courtyard. Lu Chen was hiding in the dark corner and looked over there for a while. Then his eyes fell on the plaque with the words "Yoshima" written on it.
He frowned slightly.
What these two words mean is probably something he could guess, but he did not think that there would be such things in the Kunlun Sect that seem to be only available in the mundane world. After looking around, the yin energy was surging and the darkness was surging. Lu Chen quickly judged that the core of this yin land should be in that courtyard.
As the name suggests, Yoshitoku, it should be a place where only dead people will come here. Most people will not come here at all. Even a shadow like Lu Chen who used to walk in the darkness would not easily get involved in such a place.
No one likes this place, or as long as the living creature is alive, they will not like the place where this kind of yin energy is so strong that since ancient times, Yindi has been one of the Jedi.
Then there is only one question left. What is He Yi doing here?
If there were no other accidents, Lu Chen might have thought of an answer in his mind. He stood in the dark corner and looked at the black courtyard quietly, thinking, did He Changsheng and died have been placed here?
While he was thinking, a cold breath suddenly floated out in the courtyard, like a poisonous snake hidden in the darkness suddenly vomiting letters, like a sleeping evil ghost suddenly opened his eyes, and a thin figure walked out of the darkness, appeared quietly behind He Yi, standing in front of the black gate.
The wind suddenly became cold.
The cold eyes swept across the darkness.
Look at the corner of that shadow.
The cold wind swept over and blew up a few withered leaves. It seemed that the wind and clouds were surging in the darkness in an instant. However, after a while, only a few dead leaves were flying in the sky and then slowly falling down.
There was nothing in that dark corner, except darkness, as if nothing had existed.
The corpse-looking man glanced over indifferently. After seeing the empty and lonely darkness, a subtle look of surprise seemed to pass through the depths of his eyes.
At this time, a figure came over and stood not far behind him. It was He Yi.
He also looked outside, but didn't see anything, so he frowned and asked at the corpse-looking man, "Senior, what's wrong?"
The corpse-seeker did not answer him, but after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Are you here to see me alone?"
He Yi nodded and said, "Yes."
The corpse-seeker said "um" and said nothing, but turned around and walked back to the dark yard. The black door was automatically closed behind him, slowly closing, hiding all the darkness and secrets again.
The darkness outside the house was as quiet as the deep sea. I don’t know how long it took, another dark place not far from the corner just now suddenly trembled from the ground, and then it was like darkness decomposing. Gradually, a shadow appeared again from the darkness.
That's Lu Chen.
At this moment, his face looked a little cold. When he looked at the courtyard again, his eyes were completely different from before.

A Tu lay on the ground, looking at the white lotus beside him with a somewhat alert look. This little girl with a beautiful face as vast as a worldly face was showing a faint smile at this moment, and her white and crystal-like fingers were gently brushing past the black hair on A Tu's back.
The fine and transparent white debris as crystals were like pieces of snow powder crystals floating up and dissipated on her fingertips, forming a sharp contrast with Atu's black and bright fur.
In the white and cold light, a faint breath gently touched Atu's skin, some bounced back, and some seeped in.
Gradually, the smile on Bai Lian's face disappeared, replaced by a look of doubt, as if she had discovered something extremely strange that she had never expected.
After a while, she stopped whisking her fingers, and the powder like jade shavings disappeared.
A Tu raised his head and looked at her. Seeing that Bai Lian seemed to have no other strange colors, he moved forward little by little, and then tiptoed to get up.
Bai Lian saw A Tu's actions in her eyes, but for some reason, she did not stop it. The figure of the black dog was reflected in her bright and clear eyes, but her eyes seemed to see a further distance.
"No, this is not a secret method of blood food... How domineering is Blood Food? Once you cast the spell, even if you die without exploding your body, it will be at least a crazy and violent ending. How could you still be like you are now..." Bai Lian stared at A Tu, as if she had seen something unbelievable, and murmured, "But there are clearly traces of blood food in this dog's body. What's going on?"
"Is there another martial art in this world that is the same as the blood food, but is stronger than the blood food secret method?"
"If this is true, then the hundreds of thousands of lives that the barbarians in the south have died for this for thousands of years are a huge joke?"
Bai Lian stood up suddenly. For some reason, a slight redness of excitement surged on her beautiful face, and she stared at A Tu.
Atu was a little inexplicably scared and took a step back.
"Lu Chen..." Bai Lian smiled softly, her voice sounded a little erratic, and said, "It's interesting, Lu Chen, who are you?"
※※※
Lu Chen rushed back to Feiyantai before dusk. Among them, Atu wasted a little time. After he came out of the dark charity tomb, he whistled for a while before Atu ran back from the forest.
On the way back, A Tu didn't seem to be in a high mood, but other than that, it seemed nothing unusual, without any pain. Lu Chen also remembered the strange figure in the dark tomb, so he didn't pay much attention to A Tu.
However, when walking on the Feiyantai Mountain Road, whether it was Lu Chen or A Tu, the emotions of people and dogs seemed to have been adjusted through this period of walking. A Tu began to run happily, and Lu Chen also saw the figure leisurely walking on Feiyantai under the upcoming dusk glory.
For some reason, when Lu Chen saw the quiet figure of the woman, he still felt much better. He smiled, waved his hand far away to Su Qingjun, and shouted.
Su Qingjun heard his voice, looked back and smiled.
When dusk fell, the golden sunlight spread over the vast white sea of clouds, dyeing the clouds wherever they looked, turning into beautiful golden yellow. The black dog ran happily on the flying geese platform, and the figures of the two stood on the flat ground by the cliff, and were pulled out a long shadow.
"Are you back?" Su Qingjun said to Lu Chen, "I've been there all day."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yes. The journey of the trip is not short. In addition, I went to many places in the city and bought a lot of things, which wasted a little time, but I finally came back in time."
Su Qingjun glanced at the bag in his hand, with a curiosity in his eyes and said, "What is it? It's mysterious."
Lu Chen smiled and waved to Su Qingjun to sit down by the rocks aside, then took out a piece of paper from the bag she carried with her and handed it to her.
Su Qingjun took it and felt a little warm in her palm. She glanced at Lu Chen, who smiled without saying a word, but just signaled her to open the paper bag with her eyes.
Su Qingjun stretched out her finger and gently pulled the paper head. After lifting two layers of thin paper, she saw a ball of black round meatballs inside, which exuded a strange smell of meat.
A hint of surprise appeared on her face, she looked at Lu Chen and said, "What is this?"
"Roasted loach." Lu Chen said with a smile, "You taste it, it tastes very good."
Su Qingjun was stunned for a moment and said, "Can this thing be eaten...?
"Yes." Lu Chen said, "Don't look at it as black, but it's actually burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat inside is very delicious. I was the most greedy for this thing when I was a child, but unfortunately I didn't have the money to buy it at that time, so I drooled when I saw it."
Su Qingjun hesitated for a moment, but frowned slightly and said, "A vulgar thing like loach is born in a sewage stream and river. It has no spiritual power in itself. Eating it will not be of any benefit to cultivation. Why do we eat it?"
"No, why." Lu Chen shrugged, looked at Su Qingjun with a gentle and smile, and said, "It's just for the delicious food. I think you don't have to do everything, you must be useful for cultivation before doing it, right?"
"...Is that true?" Su Qingjun seemed a little confused, and was a little inexplicably moved.
"Taste it? Only the poor can eat delicious food." Lu Chen looked at her, and for some reason, a strange feeling flashed in his eyes, and then smiled, "Eat whatever you want, and live the life of your life. Isn't this the best thing?"
Su Qingjun laughed, looked at him, and suddenly asked, "Then are you thinking about living that kind of life in your heart?"
"Of course, I really want to live a life of being free and not being merciless. I think so!" Lu Chen laughed. (To be continued.)
