Chapter 9 Decision(1/2)
"From the night before yesterday to last night, for two consecutive days, there is definitely a problem on this mountain..."
Sitting quietly on the bed in a quiet room, Chen Ming looked a little ugly.
What happened last night is absolutely true.
Although the person was fine in the end and the surrounding rooms seemed fine, some clues still existed, allowing Chen Ming to confirm what happened last night.
For example, at this moment, Chen Ming felt an extreme sense of weakness all over his body, as well as a dull pain in his chest.
Feeling the pain in his chest, Chen Ming stretched out his hand and pulled open the sleeves on his chest to reveal the skin underneath.
A little bit of pale skin was exposed, but on the left chest, a little black and red mark was very conspicuous, making Chen Ming's face look even more difficult to look at.
"What to do next?"
Sitting on the bedside, holding the long black knife in his hand, Chen Ming looked ugly as this thought came to his mind.
The current trend is very wrong.
The night before yesterday, he just heard some inexplicable noises, but last night he was directly attacked.
Although he was fine in the end, if this trend continued, Chen Ming felt that sooner or later, things would develop to a point that he could not accept.
And even last night, he was not completely fine.
After waking up early in the morning, Chen Ming felt that his spirit was as low as ever. From the time he woke up to now, his brain was still dizzy, and he felt a tingling sensation from time to time, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
This was one of the sequelae of last night's encounter. If it happened a few more times, Chen Ming estimated that even if he was not directly killed by that thing, he would eventually die of mental breakdown.
"Back Mountain... That thing keeps mentioning this location. Does it want me to go to Back Mountain to rescue him?"
Rubbing his head, Chen Ming showed a sneer on his face: "If that's the case, then this thing is probably sealed on the back mountain."
"With your virtue of asking for help, I can't think of a way to add more seals to you. Do you still want me to rescue you?"
He shook his head, finally stood up from where he was, continued to put the long knife on, and prepared to go out.
Before setting off, he habitually looked at his source interface.
Source power:1.35.
Martial Arts: Linyuan Sword Technique.
"Huh?"
Looking at the Yuanli interface in front of him, he was stunned.
He remembered very clearly that last night, in order to upgrade Linyuan Sword Technique to the second level, most of his source power had been consumed, and the remaining power was far less than a little.
But just one night has passed, and his energy has increased to this point?
"What happened last night...that thing attacked in the middle of the night..."
Recalling what happened last night, Chen Ming pondered for a moment, and then guessed: "So, contact with these evil spirits can also speed up the growth of source power?"
This guess is easy to verify. You only need to wait for the thing to come over again to find out.
However, Chen Ming doesn't want to do this kind of experiment for the time being.
After walking out of where he was, not long after, he walked into a spacious hall.
In the hall, a tall and thin young man wearing a coarse shirt was standing in the hall. When he saw Chen Ming approaching, his face showed a little surprise.
This is Shan Jian, a true disciple of the martial arts academy. Because of Lu Qi, he has become quite familiar with Chen Ming during this period of time.
At that moment, seeing Chen Ming hurriedly approaching from a distance, he said with some confusion: "Chang'an, what are you doing?"
"Brother Shan, is Uncle Lu on the mountain?" Seeing Shan Jian, Chen Ming took a deep breath, resisted the fatigue rising all over his body, looked at him and asked.
Yamami shook his head: "Uncle Lu has already gone down the mountain. He is probably still on his way to another county. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in a few months."
"How many months?" Chen Ming was suddenly disappointed.
"Not only Uncle Lu, most of the other elders are also out at the moment. It is said that something big happened outside, and the local government asked us to send people to assist." Standing where he was, Yamami shook his head, and then sighed: "In addition,
, the annual festival is coming soon, several elders have gone out to prepare, and they probably won’t be able to come back for a while.”
"Now on this mountain, only the head master who is practicing in seclusion is left."
"This..." After hearing this, Chen Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said: "Is there any way for me to meet with the leader? I have something to report."
"I'm afraid this won't work." Yamami continued to shake his head: "The master has been in seclusion for twenty years, and he doesn't see anyone except a few elders on weekdays."
"Okay." Chen Ming sighed softly, then looked at Shan Jian and cupped his hands, said something, and walked out.
"Uncle Lu is not on the mountain, and the other Yueshan elders are also missing..."
While walking on the road, Chen Ming had a headache thinking about what he had just learned.
On top of this mountain, when he suddenly encountered this situation, his first thought was to call for help.
But neither Lu Qi nor the other Yueshan elders are on the mountain at the moment. The only remaining leader is still closed and does not see outsiders.
As for the rest of the people on Yueshan Mountain, Chen Ming thought they were of little use.
After raising Linyuan Sword Technique to the third level, in terms of his single-round strength at this moment, there is probably no one else on this mountain except those elders who can match him.
He himself is no match for that thing, so what's the use of those who are not as good as him?
Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on his face, he looked up at the path, hesitated for a while, and then walked towards the other side.
Not long after walking, beside a bamboo forest, an exquisite courtyard came into view.
In the courtyard, at this moment, a tall, tall young man was standing there, waving a long knife gently in his hand.
"Chang'an, why are you here?"
Hearing the footsteps coming from outside the yard, Lu Liang turned around and looked around. After seeing Chen Ming, a slightly surprised expression appeared on his face.
"Senior Brother Lu..."
He let out a deep breath and looked at Lu Liang in front of him. Chen Ming smiled first, and then said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "You said you were going down the mountain before..."

"
"I thought about it for a long time in my room last night."
Chen Ming smiled: "Although Yue Mountain is clean, it is indeed too plain. Walking on this Yue Mountain for a long time is indeed a bit unsightly."
"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles. I am willing to follow my senior brother down the mountain!"
He said seriously, looking like he had been thinking about this decision for a long time.
"That would be perfect."
Lu Liang looked pleased: "In that case, Chang'an will make preparations and come down the mountain with me tomorrow."
"tomorrow?"
Chen Ming was stunned: "Didn't Senior Brother say before that he would stay in the mountain for a month?"
"That was originally..."
Lu Liang sighed softly, with some doubts on his brows: "I went up to the mountain this time to ask for help from a few familiar elders, but I just got the news today that all the elders have left Yueshan. At this moment, the entire Yueshan
Go up, only the master is left behind..."
Hearing this, Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.
At that moment, he nodded and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, senior brother, do you know what's on the mountain behind?"
He said casually, seemingly unintentionally.
"Back Mountain?" Lu Liang was stunned for a while before speaking again: "I rarely go to Back Mountain, but it is said that it contains the ruins left by the founder of Yueshan."
"Relics?" Chen Ming grasped this word keenly.
"Yes." Lu Liang nodded: "When our Yueshan was first established, the location we chose was not the current location, but on the back mountain."
"Until later, slowly, the station on the back mountain was abandoned, and the sect's station was moved to this place..."
"It's a good station, why should it be abandoned?" Chen Ming then asked, instinctively feeling that there might be something wrong with it.
"Who knows?" Lu Liang shook his head, seemingly not very clear about the matter: "Maybe it's because it's inconvenient, or maybe it's because the place is unlucky."
"It is said that in the early years, before Patriarch Yueshan established the Yueshan Sect, the place was a mass of graves."
"In this way..." After hearing this, Chen Ming frowned secretly, and finally nodded. He didn't ask any more questions about this matter, but just said it directly, then turned and left.
Standing there, Lu Liang quietly watched Chen Ming leave. For some reason, his expression suddenly became a little complicated.
After leaving the place where Lu Liang lived, Chen Ming did not return to the courtyard where he lived, but came to another place.
"After walking through this mountain forest, you will reach the back mountain..."
Walking on a deserted path, looking at the dense mountain forest in front of him, Chen Ming's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and fell into deep thought: "Want to go in and take a look?"
He was going down the mountain tomorrow. Before leaving Yueshan, he wanted to go into the back mountain to see what was inside.
I have to say that this idea is a bit suicidal. If it were placed in the ghost movies of the previous life, it would definitely be driven by this curiosity.
