Chapter 20: The mountain silently moves

Chapter 20 The mountain silently moves (thanks to the leader of the alliance "x藏锋") Then he chopped and hacked several times horizontally and vertically, swinging the knife randomly without stopping. The other strange monkey that was tripped was also chopped all over and completely unable to move. It fell to the ground and twitched continuously. Lin Jue then breathed a sigh of relief. But when I glanced to the side, I was startled. The warrior named Luo was facing a siege of far more strange monkeys than him, including the leader of the strange monkeys. The strange monkeys not only knew how to attack in groups, but also threw stones at him. However, not only was he not hurt at all, but there were already two corpses of strange monkeys lying on the ground. These strange monkeys are not human beings. What prevails is instinct. They don't have the courage to fight. Seeing this situation, they were so scared that they wanted to run away. However, this man had previously dragged Lin Jue to such a dangerous place. Originally, this group of strange monkeys surrounded them in the corner of the stream and river. At this time, the positions of both sides were switched, and this man was the only one blocking the entire monkey group. Anyone who wants to run away can't escape from the knife in his hand. If you threw a stone, he would easily dodge it and you would not be able to pick up any stone by the river in a few seconds. He walked forward with steady steps, and chopped the monkeys in the face with the sharp knife. How could the monkeys' bodies withstand such force? They screamed and fled in panic. Just as they dodged the knife, the warrior turned around and swung his knife across their waists. The force of the knife seemed not strong, but it immediately cut two strange monkeys in half.

His intestines and stomach were all over the floor. Not only did the many strange monkeys have no power to resist, they also had no desire to resist at all. All this in just a very short time. At this time, the strange monkey leader opened his eyes wide and screamed continuously, not knowing what to do for a moment. While thinking, he suddenly jumped back a distance, his eyes widened, and he even opened his mouth to breathe. "hiss……" "puff!!" He actually spat out a puff of green smoke. Although the position and wind direction of the strange monkey leader were not favorable to it, it was full of strength. When it exhaled in one breath, only a small part of the smoke was blown away by the wind. Then the grass-like smoke still rushed towards the warrior named Luo, and gradually spread with the distance, and the range became larger and larger. Lin Jue's eyes suddenly froze. What a great thing, it really knows how to exhale. At the same time he also felt the wind blowing. Lin Jue knew that the breath exhaled by most fairies and ghosts was yin, which was often suppressed by yang and fire, so he opened his mouth without hesitation. "boom……" A burst of flames spurted out and crashed forward. The green smoke collided with the fire, and suddenly with a hissing sound, it dissipated into nothingness, leaving only a foul smell. "what?" The effect was beyond Lin Jue's expectations. No wonder this thing can exhale and is so afraid of fire. It turns out that it was completely suppressed.

The warrior named Luo just dodged with his body skills, and as he moved, he only heard the sound of flames exploding and hissing. When he landed and turned around to look, the flames and green smoke had disappeared. Beside him was the unexpected leader of the strange monkeys, and Lin Jue who was catching his breath after exhaling all his energy. The scorching heat just hit my body. The warrior named Luo naturally understood what was going on. He couldn't help but glance at Lin Jue, but he didn't stop his movements. He took powerful steps and swept his long sword across the army like a full moon. With a sizzling sound, he killed the two strange monkeys and quickly stepped forward, slashed with his sword. Even if the leader of the strange monkeys could spit out magic mist, he was just made of flesh. How could he compare to this fine steel sword? It was actually divided into two halves from bottom to top. The scene was so bloody that Lin Jue couldn't bear to watch it. The remaining few strange monkeys, without the restraint of their leader, completely exposed their beastly nature and just kept running. While running, two of them were killed by the warriors with their swords. In the end, only one escaped. The warrior was calm and took his bow and arrow. "Fuck!" "..." "Fuck!" His archery skill was really bad; it took him two arrows to hit the target. "Humph……" The warrior snorted coldly, calmly put away his bow, shook off the blood with his long sword, and took out a dry cloth to wipe it. While wiping, he looked at Lin Jue. "I was wondering how a weak scholar like you could dare to walk this road alone and confront these beasts alone. It turns out you have such a hidden trick up your sleeve." "My skills are so insignificant and insignificant that they are no match for the heroes." Lin Jue's words were not meant to be modest. I think the old man who mastered the art of fire-aversion also thought so. At this point, he was also very clear that his tricks were no match for these beasts, let alone this warrior. Without him, he would not be able to avenge the monkeys. Compared to the various magic spells with infinite uses, what this warrior mastered was the real pure killing skills. "The martial arts I practiced are all for fighting with humans. They can't be used to kill these beasts." The warrior named Luo said in a deep voice. "Is martial arts so powerful..." "I heard that these beasts used to live deep in this mountain, but somehow they escaped recently. This one must have lived too long, or it must have eaten humans and is about to become a spirit." The warrior surnamed Luo continued to wipe his long sword while staring down at the largest and oldest strange monkey leader on the ground. There was a sigh in his tone and sadness between his brows. He couldn't help but sigh, "In recent years, there have been more and more goblins and ghosts on the road." “Is this considered a goblin?” "That's not the case. It should be a strange animal in the mountains. There are still some records of it in ancient books, but it is becoming less and less now." "What does the saying 'there are more and more monsters on the road' mean?" Lin Jue couldn't help but feel curious, because when he was in the village, he also heard the village elders sigh similarly, and some of his own experiences seemed to confirm this point - In the peaceful times of the past, many people might not see any goblins or ghosts in their entire lives. Only when they got old, their blood declined, and their eyes became blurry, would the probability of seeing goblins increase. However, it was difficult to tell whether it was because they were dizzy and saw it wrongly or because their head was dizzy and caused hallucinations. In recent years, even middle-aged men often encounter ghosts when walking on the road at night. "What else can you say? Haven't you heard about what happened in the past few years?"

"what's up?" "There is a mountain that inexplicably moved from the southwest to the southeast." "what?" Lin Jue opened his eyes wide: "Is this true?" "You really haven't heard of it?" "I have been studying in the village before and have never heard of what is happening outside the window." Lin Jue could not help but be very surprised. This world is wonderful, but can it be so wonderful? "That's not your fault. This incident was indeed quite sensational, but the court also deliberately suppressed the news. It is said that a mountain suddenly appeared on the ground less than a thousand miles away from here. The locals were very surprised until a hermit who liked to travel around the world and see all the mountains and rivers came here. He then distinguished from the appearance of the mountain that it was originally a mountain in the southwest. Later, someone went to the southwest to ask, and it turned out that there was indeed a missing mountain there." Perhaps because they had fought side by side, this man was not stingy with words, chatting casually, expressing his sorrow in such shocking words: “As the ancients said: Mountains move silently by themselves, when the world is in turmoil, the country will perish. "There is also a book saying: If a person moves from a mountain to a mountain, it means that the ruler does not follow the Way, virtuous people are not promoted, or salaries are gone, public officials are not rewarded or punished by the ruler, private families gather together and cannot be saved, and it is time to change the dynasty and name. "The world has not been peaceful these years, with internal and external troubles. We have to worry about bandits and thieves when we walk on the road. If this continues, I'm afraid there will really be a catastrophe and the world will be changed." Lin Jue was extremely surprised. He listened carefully and thought seriously. The fact that mountains moved for no reason was shocking enough, but there were actually ancient sayings in this world that specifically recorded such things and even explained in detail what such things foreshadowed. No wonder this warrior felt more worried than surprised when he learned of such a shocking fact. Perhaps in the eyes of the people in this world, although such things are strange and shocking, they are not completely impossible to happen. At least they have been recorded in ancient books. Therefore, if it really happened, they would not be as surprised as Lin Jueshen. This was undoubtedly another thing that revealed to Lin Jue a corner of the world and people's concepts. Then he keenly discovered something—— It seems that this warrior is not only an expert in martial arts, but also has good knowledge of literature. He is also concerned about the country and the people, and is concerned about world affairs. "I wonder if the hero is..." "how?" "You are not an ordinary knight, right?" "There's nothing much to say. My ancestors were originally a military family, but now they have fallen. I felt that this was a time of great change in the world, so I left my hometown and went to Beijing. I wanted to rejoin the army and make a name for myself in the world with my martial arts. Between life and death, I wanted to win a place for my Luo family again." Young spirit and lofty ambitions. Lin Jue couldn't help but stand in awe. "Disrespect, disrespect." "Don't say that." The warrior surnamed Luo sneered, sheathed his long sword, and took the hatchet from him: "You killed two of these weird monkeys, and you also played a key role, so I will give you two more." "Not right!" Lin Jue said, "I've said before that the rewards for these weird monkeys are all yours. I've gotten rid of my anger and I'm already satisfied!" "Don't say that." "..."

"What about you? What are you doing here? Do you want to go to the Juxian Mansion in the capital to gain some fame and fortune?" The warrior asked casually while taking Lin Jue's hatchet to chop off the monkey's head. "Juxian Mansion? What is it?" "You don't know either?" "do not know." "let it go." "Please teach me, Brother Luo." Lin Jue naturally changed his name. "...It's a place in the capital...similar to a government office. It attracts the most extraordinary people and Buddhist and Taoist masters from all over the world. Once you enter, you are a guest official. You can barely be considered to be on the emperor's payroll. Anyway, the court supports you." "I see." Lin Jue tried hard to remember it. This was quite useful information. "I only know a little bit of acting. How can I enter such a place?" "That's true." This warrior was not at all tactful in his words. "Then where do you want to go?" He then asked another question. "I just want to find a famous mountain palace, seek immortals and learn some proper spiritual cultivation methods and magic." "Which famous mountain?" "Have you heard of Qiyun Mountain?" "Of course, I passed by it on the way here." "What about Yishan?" "What mountain?" "It is said to be a fairy mountain as well." While chatting and laughing, the warriors had already chopped off the heads of all the strange monkeys, drained out the blood, put them in several cloth bags, and hung them on the backs of the horses. "Let's go to the county government office." "it is good!" Lin Jue picked up his book bag and followed him to the county government office. Ask how to get to Qiyun Mountain on the way. In the afternoon, the two men entered the city and passed through the city. The bloody cloth bag on the horse's back attracted the attention of many people. Some people retreated in fear, while others boldly came forward to ask. When they found out that it was a strange monkey on the road, all the business travelers who had travel needs applauded. The process of receiving the reward was also extremely smooth. This warrior was really free and easy. He threw eight taels of silver to Lin Jue, said that they would meet again later, and then went out on horseback, saying that he wanted to see the mountain that moved silently.

Only Lin Jue was left in the city. With another eight taels of silver on him, totaling nearly eighteen taels, Lin Jue felt more and more at ease and confident. Compared with the poverty and confusion when he had just left Shu Village, he now felt so elated that he actually had a feeling that "this world is so big that there is no place he cannot go." “It feels so good to have money!” I have to find an inn and take a hot bath. I have to go and return the machete. At the same time, this experience also gave him a lot of inspiration: In this world, besides magic, martial arts are also extremely useful. Most monsters are afraid of knives. Even if you don't have martial arts, you can still buy a knife. These days, a small knife is not enough for going out. Of course-- The most urgent task is to repair the books. (End of this chapter)
