This seemingly low mountain is called Sleepy Hollow by the people in the town, and the name is not very auspicious.
Named after the place.
Just because the top of this mountain seems to have been chopped off with an axe, like a miraculous work of nature.
There are also rumors that the top of this mountain was beheaded by an immortal family. It is said that there is a treasure on the top of the mountain. If a cultivator gets it, it can increase his strength. If a demon gets it, it can greatly increase his cultivation level.
That person from the Immortal Family came here just for this reason. After searching for three days and three nights on the top of the mountain to no avail, he finally got angry and felt that he had been deceived. He felt unfair and cut off the top of the mountain. Use this to vent your anger.
As for whether it was a miraculous work of nature or really the work of a fairy, there were many rumors in the town, most of which were baseless.
The girl frowned, and she still remembered the words of the swarthy boy before. The place looked calm, but in fact there was an undercurrent, and there was an eerie feeling. The quietness was a bit too unusual.
Logically speaking, as summer is approaching, it should be noisy, with all kinds of cicadas chirping incessantly.
But in this dense forest, not a sound was heard!
So weird!
On the other hand, the young master from an aristocratic family did not care so much and remained calm and confident.
The guards of their group are not ordinary guards, but have been trained, and ordinary monks are no match for them.
The girl felt a little irritable in her heart. This kind of inexplicable unknown and fear was the most unsettling.
……
Li Hu walked quickly at the foot of Duolingshan Mountain, holding a green leaf in his hand, a little cautiously, and looking down from time to time, for fear that the leaf would fall.
In fact, the young man does not need to be like this. The leaf has the runes carved by his husband. It is no longer an ordinary leaf. It is as strong as a piece of iron, but the young man does not know it.
Li Hu walked all the way. If he were to walk alone in this barren mountain and old forest at night, he would be a little scared, even if he was trained by his husband.
Fortunately it was daytime, which made him bolder.
After finally walking all the way, the young man looked up and saw that the bodies lying on the ground on the mountainside of Guillotine Mountain were the guards of the previous pedestrian.
The young man secretly thought something was wrong and quickened his pace again.
The young man is afraid of everything except dead people.
He had been on the northern border and had seen more dead people than this. From the initial fear, he became more familiar and accustomed to it, and he was no longer afraid.
No one is born timid, they just don’t have enough experience.
Li Hu ignored the corpse on the ground and continued to move forward.
These people have been dead for some time.
Keep going, it would be no wonder if the group did not survive his arrival.
If you can save it, save it. If you can't save it, forget it.
This is what Li Hu is thinking.
As the corpse went up, I finally saw two people, leaning against the tree in a miserable state, exhausted.
The young master and the young girl opened their eyes and listened to the sparse sounds.
Be extremely alert if someone approaches.
Could it be that thing is here again?
The two of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dark-skinned boy running toward them. It was the boy with the turtle on his head.
The girl smiled and asked: "Have you figured it out? Are you here to sell the turtle on your head? I'm sorry, I can't buy it now."
Even in their situation, the girl did not look at death at all.
Not because the girl knew someone would come to save them, but because she knew no one could save them, so she could laugh.
This is a kind of mind that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
The young man from an aristocratic family glanced at the girl next to him, and then said to the dark-skinned young man: "Carry her on your back and get out of here quickly."
The girl looked back at him in surprise, and the young man from aristocratic family laughed it off.
The swarthy boy scratched his head, feeling a little at a loss.
Then he opened the green leaf he was guarding carefully in his right hand and said to the two of them: "I asked for a talisman from Mr. We should not die."
The two of them were stunned.
"Your husband is..."
The swarthy boy thought for a moment and said, "Sir."
Girls have excellent knowledge. Generally speaking, only Taoist people can carve talismans.
If the ordinary green leaf in the young man's hand is really a talisman, then is the young man also a member of the Taoist sect?
"I'm asking if your husband is a real person from the Taoist sect?" the girl asked again, her voice labored.
Li Hu said: "Sir is just sir."
The two looked at each other. This young man was really a fool, hopelessly stupid.
Suddenly a strong wind blew and black mist rose from the west.
The faces of the young master and the girl changed. It was after they were shrouded in black mist that all the guards died inexplicably.
If he hadn't relied on the life-saving things left on his body to survive until now, he would have died in the black mist like the guards.
But now their life-saving things have lost their effect, and the black mist is shrouding them as if they are telepathic.
At this moment, the ordinary green leaf in Li Hu's hand suddenly emitted a soft light, lifted up in the wind, and floated into the air.
A rune is outlined stroke by stroke on the green leaves, as if someone is writing slowly.
It seems extremely slow, but it only takes shape in that moment.
The green leaves suddenly started burning without warning, burning up in an instant, leaving a Taoist rune in the air.
That rune was like a barrier, slowly spreading from one point, from the size of a palm to the size of a carriage, and then to the size of a house, and finally covered almost half of Sleepy Hollow. .
The black energy in the place covered by the runes was dissipated, leaving no trace behind.
In front of the three people, a dark, human-like thing was lying on the ground, and there was a talisman on its head.
"Demon!" The girl and the noble man immediately revealed the origin of this unknown creature.
In this world, there are monks, literature, Buddhism, Taoism, and even mountains, spirits, water monsters, and naturally demons, but demons are rarely seen in recent years.
Between heaven and earth, yin and yang continue, the positive and negative sides, the way of balance.
Most demons are born from heaven and earth, and are transformed from the dirty things in the world.
Others are monks who were devoured by inner demons during their practice and eventually became demons.
The demon in front of him is obviously the latter.
Because demons born from heaven and earth do not have physical bodies, only demons transformed from inner demons have physical bodies.
The demon still wanted to resist, but just as he had this idea, the talisman's light shone brighter and instantly cut off 80%25 of the demonic energy from the demon.
The demon was so frightened that he threw away his body and turned into a ball of black energy and fled away.
But the body without the control of the demon was destroyed by the talisman.
The young master from the aristocratic family and the young girl had already confirmed in their hearts that the gentleman mentioned by the dark-skinned young man must be a Taoist master.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to make the demon so embarrassed with just one talisman.
