Chapter 6, The Mountain God Temple Rescues People

Brother Lu, could you give us a ride? Those wicked people will definitely not let this go easily

Thus, Lu Yu changed his mind and decided to rest for a night by the campfire, considering it a way to reminisce about the past

It turns out that the world of martial arts is like this; he seemed to see the dazzling sword lights and shadows he had once read about in books stepping out from the pages, vividly presenting themselves before him

At that moment, this person suddenly transformed into a pool of flowing blood, swiftly slithering out of the temple like a giant red python, leaving behind only a withered human skin.

A bonfire was lit on the mountainside, which made Lu Yu reminisce about the day he first crossed into this world. It was also a bonfire like this one that warmed him, allowing him, as a traveler, to find a foothold in this perilous world. Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but chuckle lightly; it had clearly not been many days, yet he found himself feeling somewhat nostalgic. He also wondered how his friend was faring in the sect now.

Seeing that Lu Yu did not show any signs of opposition, He Yinglian finally mustered her courage and recounted their experiences one by one

Relying on his flying sword for protection and the guardian deity by his side, he disregarded day and night, walking whenever he pleased and stopping to find a place to rest, using the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed for a nap, which gave him a somewhat celestial demeanor

Lu Yu listened with great interest as the siblings recounted their experiences along the way, feeling that his horizons had been greatly broadened

Therefore, the numerous seekers of immortality in Yunzhou can be considered a unique characteristic of this place

A bright flash of sword light suddenly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it flew to the side of the red giant python with a speed that was almost deafening. A cry of agony was heard as the red giant python was pinned to the ground

I do not know what this so-called Blood God Cult is, but judging by the circumstances of this practice, it is likely not a benevolent method

There is fear, but there is absolutely no regret. The principle of chivalry and righteousness was instilled in us by our father from a young age. If we were to refrain from action out of fear of death, my siblings and I would likely have no face to return home and meet our parents. " He Yingchao said resolutely, his gaze firm, with a peculiar light shining in his eyes.

After a few exchanges among the three, Lu Yu noticed that He Yinglian seemed to have something to say but was hesitant to speak, her delicate and fair little face flushed red.

"Very well, since you have this intention, I shall accompany you through the mountains of knives and the seas of fire." Lu Yu saw the brilliance of humanity in them, and a sense of heroism surged within his heart

"There is no need for politeness. Since you siblings are able to uphold justice, I naturally cannot allow you to be harmed by evil practices," Lu Yu said, waving his hand.

There is no need to call me senior anymore, I have merely learned some unorthodox skills that may seem impressive, but if you do not mind, you may call me Brother Lu

Rest assured, I am quite a compassionate person. After I take care of them, young lady, I will cherish you well

It turned out that during the process of eliminating the group of human traffickers, the two individuals encountered a dying Taoist priest. Before passing away, the priest instructed the siblings to inform a certain senior master at the Xuantian Temple in Yuncheng about the human traffickers.

"My friend has disturbed me; I wonder if I may impose upon you for a night's lodging?" Lu Yu performed a salute with cupped hands, adhering to the manner of etiquette he recalled.

The elder brother is named He Yingchao, and the younger sister is named He Yinglian. They were born into a family of martial artists and have just recently entered the martial world.

With a loud thud, a figure fell from the rooftop to the ground. It was a man dressed in a blood-red robe, his face as pale as paper

Upon hearing this sound, the siblings seemed to recall some terrifying scenario, instantly turning pale with fear

A hissing sound emerged, and the volume of blood rapidly dissipated at a visibly noticeable speed, completely vanishing in a short while

The siblings had never witnessed such a bizarre scene; after days of torment, they had long lost their will to fight and could only flee.

However, the days of suffering began from that point on. Within a few days, a demon pursued them. This demon seemed to possess an immortal body; although his martial skills were average, he would resurrect within a few days after each death

"I wonder where you are headed, senior?" He Yingchao inquired, as it was rare to encounter such an esteemed individual. Naturally, he hoped to travel together, as it would be a great fortune if he could learn a trick or two.

Lu Yu felt a sense of pride in his heart, for this was the method of using flying swords that he had gradually pondered over these past few days. By concealing the sword energy within sound, although it could not inflict harm on the enemy, its deterrent effect was exceptional. He gave it a name: Sword Energy Thunder Sound

On the second day, after the heavy rain had passed, the sky was clear and cloudless. Lu Yu lightly inhaled the air refreshed by the downpour, as a fragrance of earth permeated the atmosphere

Now he is free as the vast sky, able to leisurely explore this magical world. With a relaxed and curious heart, Lu Yu embarked on the journey of his heart. His next destination is Yunzhou, where it is said that there are legends of immortals. Lu Yu also wishes to pay a visit, hoping that he might gain entry into the realm of the immortals.

This voice was full of vigor, yet to the ears of that enchantress, it sounded like the thunder from the heavens above, rendering her unable to move in an instant, filled with a sense of fear.

At that moment, a strange cawing sound suddenly came from above: "Hehe, little ones, can't you run anymore? After being killed by you two so many times, it's time for me to kill you once!"

Yan Dan once said that there are certain methods in this world that are particularly adept at tarnishing a person's treasures, could this be one of them, Lu Yu murmured to himself

Thank you for saving our lives, senior! The expressions of gratitude from the siblings pulled Lu Yu back from his contemplation, and he then realized that the two were looking at him with admiration.

The two siblings were exceptionally excited, feeling that this journey through the martial world had been thoroughly satisfying. They had not only completed their family obligations but also acted with righteousness. After being pursued, they were fortunate enough to meet such a remarkable senior, making this trip truly worthwhile

The siblings have been tormented by this immortal monster for the past few days. Upon seeing this demon, He Yinglian was naturally filled with rage and drew her sword, stabbing the demon to death with a single strike.

On this day, Lu Yu was in high spirits, and regardless of the late hour, he continued to make his way towards Mount Tianmo at a leisurely pace.

The man looked at Lu Yu with a face full of terror, never having imagined that there could be someone in this world capable of producing such a sound, and he understood in his heart that he had encountered a person of great ability

The appearance of Lu Yu, the scholar, is still quite persuasive to the people of this world. The two siblings, upon seeing Lu Yu's attire, also lowered their guard and introduced themselves.

Upon reaching the destination, we discovered a mountain deity temple. The temple is not large, but it is well-maintained and clean, clearly indicating that the local villagers come to tend to it periodically.

As newcomers to the martial world, the two individuals have not yet been tainted by the tumultuous worldly affairs, and they still uphold a heart of innocence

What else do you want to say

Lu Yu furrowed his brows as he gazed at the flying sword that had returned to his hand, realizing that the loss of its spiritual essence was far greater than he had anticipated

This time, the siblings were sent by their parents to celebrate the birthday of an elder. Unexpectedly, on their way home, they encountered a group of human traffickers. Having always been intolerant of evil, how could they let these malicious individuals go unpunished

In recent days, Lu Yu has been deeply moved. In just a few days, he has seen no fewer than four groups of people coming to Yunzhou in search of immortal opportunities. These individuals are filled with thoughts of how to attain wealth and glory after learning the ways of immortality, and some even harbor ill intentions, thinking of using their skills for nefarious purposes. Seeing this, Lu Yu could only shake his head, and he inadvertently strayed from the main path, instead taking some rarely traveled country roads.

"Stop your tricks and come down!" At that moment, Lu Yu shouted loudly.

On either side of the red temple door, there were paintings of two little demons, presumably the gatekeepers of the mountain deity. Lu Yu gently pushed open the temple door and discovered that inside the small temple, a pair of young man and woman were sitting around a bonfire. The two appeared to be of similar age to Lu Yu and, judging by their features, seemed to be siblings. At that moment, they were looking at Lu Yu, who had just entered, with expressions of vigilance.

Before leaving, he did not forget to threaten a few people, saying: "How dare you ruin the good deeds of our Blood God Sect, just wait for your demise!"

Since the moment the siblings accepted this task, the strange demon began to pursue them, and only then did they realize that they seemed to have stumbled into a significant conspiracy

Who knows that these traffickers have some background, each of them is exceptionally skilled, and the siblings had a hard time dealing with them

"All along the way, I was filled with trepidation, and I have walked through the gates of hell. Do you have any regrets?" Lu Yu asked with a smile

Yunzhou is the eastern state of Dacheng, known for its picturesque mountains and clear waters, as well as its remarkable individuals and rich cultural heritage. In particular, the area of Tianmu Mountain is steeped in legends of immortals, with many individuals confidently claiming to have encountered these celestial beings.
