Chapter 464 Price
Demon Sect, back mountain.
Lu Xun flew to the small study on the top of the mountain and did not control the paper crane.
He is now a great practitioner of the fifth realm, possessing the ability to fly freely and no longer needs to control objects to fly.
Of course, in most cases, he would still choose to control the paper crane.
There's no other reason, I just like riding something.
When Lu Xunfei returned to the top of the mountain, he found that everyone was sitting outside the house, obviously waiting for him.
"What did the interrogation reveal?" asked the gentleman.
Lu Xun looked at the teacher and began to answer everything.
Logically speaking, the cave halfway up the mountain is only a short distance away from the small study. Everyone on the back mountain can rely on their spiritual sense to investigate the interrogation process of Lu Xun, but no one did so.
Give each other some privacy. Who knows what methods Lu Xun, who is capable of interrogation, will use?
As everyone listened to Lu Xun's description, exclamations arose one after another.
Lin Chan is a little mute. She can't scream, but her little mouth opened wide to express her surprise.
Even the Second Senior Sister, who was always as calm as a deep pool, frowned slightly, and was obviously a little uneasy.
Only the gentleman was listening quietly, nodding slightly from time to time, with no change in his expression.
After Lu Xun finished speaking, everyone else was as upset as he was, except for Mr., who said calmly, "I understand."
Mao Nanbei stood on a chair, supported his hands on the wooden table, and leaned forward slightly. His little butt was tilted backwards because of this movement, outlining a tight arc.
Unfortunately... there is no cat's tail.
She looked at the gentleman and asked with concern: "Sir, is there any problem with the [Elementary Force] in my junior brother's body?"
Lu Xun did not elaborate when he talked about [Elemental Force]. Because it involved the game system, his words were half true and half false.
Upon hearing this, the master glanced at Lu Xun, then quickly looked away and said, "Xiao Nanbei, you don't need to worry about Xiaowu. With the master here, there won't be any problems."
Lu Xun was not too worried about his situation, after all, it was caused by the game system. But no matter what, the gentleman's words still gave people a sense of security.
Although the gentleman is vain, pretentious, always raises his index finger and walks in small steps...but the people in the back mountain have absolute trust in him.
When Mao Nanbei heard the gentleman say that everything was okay, he immediately stopped sticking up his butt and sat back on the wooden chair, slumped down like a cat cake.
After Lu Xun thought for a moment, he asked, "Sir, what should we do with this young priest?"
He actually hoped that the master would take action personally, and then ask something from the young priest, and then he could get some new information on the sidelines and be a spectator.
The master looked at the sky and said, "It's time for dinner, Xiaowu, make some more food tonight and call him to eat at night."
Lu Xun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the solution the master mentioned was to treat the young priest to a good meal?
What is this, a last meal before leaving?
…
…
As night fell, Lu Xun showed off his cooking skills and cooked a table full of delicious food.
It’s just that because of the presence of a stranger, the dinner party in the bamboo forest in the back mountain was not as relaxed as before.
Except for Mao Nanbei who was still eating voraciously, everyone else was a little quieter.
On the contrary, the kidnapped young priest did not have much awareness of being a hostage. He acted like a familiar guest, eating the dishes made by Lu Xun and praising them highly.
He seemed happy and in high spirits.
Whether it was the delicious food he was eating or the quiet scene in the bamboo forest in the back mountain, it made him happy.
When groups of fireflies flew by in the back mountain, Lu Xun could clearly see his clear eyes light up slightly and his spirits were high.
Even the swaying and rustling sounds of the bamboo leaves when the wind blew through the bamboo forest could distract him for a while.
It’s just that his physical condition was so poor that he basically just tasted one or two bites of each dish and then couldn’t eat anymore.
It’s not because the food is not to my taste, but because my physical condition does not allow it.
After the meal, he stood up tremblingly, then took a step back, and then bowed tremblingly to everyone to express his gratitude.
He sincerely thanked Houshan for the hospitality.
The gentleman raised his hand and gently lifted up the young priest who was bowing.
He looked at the young priest and said calmly: "You have integrated the power of the Heavenly Dao. Even if you don't practice, you can still live for a thousand years."
The young priest heard this, with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, and said: "It is faster to use it."
After Lu Xun learned that the young priest was a spirit born from a corpse, he became curious.
He wondered whether the young priest was born from the corpse of an old man or from the corpse of a young man?
He had asked this question when he was in the cave, and the young priest 's answer was: from the baby's body.
In other words, he originally had at least a thousand years to live, but he squandered it all and ended up looking like an octogenarian.
It was obvious that what he did for the aliens came at a huge price.
The price was himself.
Lu Xun finally understood why, as a mortal, he could do so many incredible things, such as divination and teleportation.
His life span is what he paid for, and it is likely to be more than just his life span.
The gentleman looked at him, pondered for a moment, and asked, "You seem to like the scenery of the back mountain very much."
The young priest nodded, did not deny it, and said: "This is the most beautiful mountain I have ever seen."
Hearing this, the gentleman smiled heartily, feeling somewhat proud.
He waved his sleeves and said, "Since you like him, Xiaowu, you can take him for a walk and see more."
"Disciple obeys the order." Lu Xun said with confusion.
For a moment, he wondered if the gentleman wanted him to continue to ask questions.
…
…
Lu Xun and the young priest were walking on a small path in the back mountain, taking a rest after walking for a while.
One reason is that the young priest would stop when he saw the beautiful scenery, and the other reason is that he really did not have the strength to walk for a long time.
When they reached the creek at the back of the mountain, the young priest was already coughing terribly.
"Would you like to take a break?" Lu Xun asked.
The young priest nodded.
The fireflies in the back mountain surrounded the two of them, so even though it was dark, he could still see his reflection in the stream.
Lu Xun looked at him and spoke his true feelings, saying, "You are different from all the aliens I have ever seen."
"What's the difference?" asked the young priest.
"The biggest difference is that you are not a bloodthirsty person." Lu Xun said.
The young priest smiled and said, "I have never killed anyone in my life."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Because he and Lu Xun both knew that although he had never killed anyone, a large number of people died because of him.
