Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 34 Wild Dogs
Night falls.

From time to time, there was a roar of beasts.

Staying overnight in the wilderness is undoubtedly a dangerous thing, you need to keep your spirits up all the time, not only to be alert to the attacks of wild beasts or monsters, but also to guard against the attacks of evil cultivators.

After eating Lingmi porridge made from dried meat, Lu Zhong continued to watch the night with Xiaoqi.

Shen Shiyou passed quickly, and the night was getting darker.

Lu Zhong was still maintaining the effect of the Qi Watching Technique, holding a golden light talisman in his hand, ready to be activated at any time.

Behind him, there was a faint sound of breathing.

Including Huang Shuyuan, the other three were taking a nap at this time, and did not really fall asleep.

During the qi refining period, monks can't sleep without rest, even if they practice qi all night and meditate, they will feel tired mentally, so it is necessary to rest for a certain period of time, even if it's just a nap with closed eyes.

Outside the cave entrance, the moonlight is unclear.

Everything is shrouded in darkness.

But in the field of vision of the qi-watching technique, it is a clear black and white world.

Even the ground squirrels that come out to look for food at night, Lu Zhong can still see clearly with the monk's excellent eyesight, and the actions of those beasts peeking into the caves in the dark in the forest are even more clear.

The first one to appear was the striped leopard. It watched for a while and then left without looking back.

Afterwards, a colorful tiger with a body length of less than ten feet also appeared in the forest near the entrance of the cave. It stopped for at least half a quarter of an hour before turning around and returning to the forest.

"It's really a wilderness full of vitality!" Lv Zhong saw no less than ten kinds of beasts, big and small, that were active at night by using the qi-watching technique. The wilderness at night is indescribably lively.

As time passed, no blood-red aura appeared in his vision.

The blood-red aura is monster energy, which is unique to monsters.

"It's better if you don't see it..." Lu Zhong didn't plan to fight against powerful monsters at night.

He remembered that during the Qi refining period, the strength of monks of the same level was lower than that of monsters. The reason was that monsters' strong physiques gave them too much advantage in fighting, and they were almost sure to win in exchange for injuries.

"Someone is approaching!" At this moment, Xiao Qi shouted suddenly from behind.

Lin Zhongze and others who were taking a nap immediately opened their eyes when they heard the words.

Lin Zhongze sacrificed his magical weapon at this time, but it was a dark red wide-bladed long spear with a lingering fire, and it was not ordinary at first glance.Sanniang next to her probably didn't buy a magic weapon, so she took out two talismans from her pocket, holding one in each of her left and right hands.Huang Shuyuan sacrificed a full moon dharma ring, with a faint blue light shining on the surface, and it also looked like a sharp dharma weapon.

Hearing the movement behind him, Lu Zhong just drew his sword, but did not leave his post without authorization, and was still looking outside.

Not long after, he saw two clusters of spiritual energy approaching him.

"Someone came over from my side!" Lu Zhong immediately warned.

Just in case, he slapped an arrow-avoiding talisman on his body.

Anyway, the talismans are all drawn by myself, and the cost of using them is very low, so I don't feel distressed at all.

What's more, Lu Zhong could even ask Lin Zhongze for reimbursement afterwards, which means it was included in the cost of the trip.

When the loot is distributed, he can get back this part of the cost.

And it is still at the market price, which is equivalent to pulling wool in disguise.

At this time, Lin Zhongze's voice came over.

"Friend Lu Dao, warn them!"

Among the five, only Lu Zhong could attack spells. Even Lin Zhongze, who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, could only use some basic spells at most, such as breath suppression.

Lu Zhong nodded, understanding what he meant.

Immediately pinch the formula and recite the mantra, like flowing clouds and flowing water, the Qingyang Fire and Rain Technique is completed in one go.

The fire illuminated the wilderness outside, and exposed the figures of the two people who touched it.

Compared with the three wilderness cultivators in Huling Village, these two looked like savages. Not only were their hair clumped together, but even their clothes were rotten into strips of cloth. .

Looking at the series of fireballs, they turned around and ran without the slightest hesitation. The movements were extremely skilled, and it seemed that they had been practicing for a long time.

But no matter how fast a pair of legs can run, it cannot be as fast as the fireball that flies out of the sky.

One person was taken care of by Lu Zhong, and a cover blow came.

"Bang bang bang!"

The fireball exploded on the ground, and the high-temperature flames splashed around, making a dull explosion.

As expected of Qingyangmen's secret spell, the effect of the fire rain technique was so good that Lu Zhong didn't expect it. Even though the man seemed to have learned the lightness kung fu of mortal martial arts, he jumped out as fast as a cheetah, but he was still in the rain of fireballs and bullets. Under the cover, it was splashed with flames.

"Ahhh!"

A shrill scream came out, piercing the dark night sky.

"Another..." Lu Zhong's expression was neither sad nor happy, he just muttered silently.

The cultivator who knows spells, coupled with the loss of manpower, immediately dissuaded the peepers from the dark.

After a whistle, the unidentified monks on both sides of the cave retreated into the forest.

After a long time, everyone felt relieved.

Lin Zhongze walked up to Lu Zhong, and said with a smile on his face: "Hahaha, it seems that I, Lin, have a really good eye. Inviting Lu Daoyou to join is really a wonderful move. I actually invited you, a master of spells, to join me." Otherwise, those wild dogs may have to pester them a lot before they are willing to leave."

Lu Zhong smiled modestly and asked about the origin of those "wild dogs".

"They?" Lin Zhongze restrained his smile and explained casually: "The so-called wild dogs are completely degenerated wilderness cultivators. Like wild dogs wandering in the wilderness, they will pounce on and bite when they find an opportunity, and run away with their tails between their legs if they fail.”

Having said that, he smiled self-deprecatingly again.

"I used to be a wild dog. If I hadn't dug up a hundred-year-old elixir by chance, I guess I would still be wandering in the wilderness, eating grass root mush that was not as good as pig food, sleeping in a dark and damp cave, and then Someday someone plots to expose the corpse in the wilderness, or meets a monster and gets eaten."

After listening, Lu Zhong fell into silence.

Xiaoqi and Sanniang looked calm, obviously they already knew about Lin Zhongze's past.

"Then why don't they return to the secular world?" Lu Zhong asked.

Even the cultivation level of attracting energy into the body is enough to become a rich man in the secular world. In the past, living in groups of wives and concubines, why should they wander in the wilderness like wild dogs, and even when they die, no one will collect their bodies.

Huang Shuyuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Oh, it's because I can't accept the cruel reality!"

She looked at the full moon outside, and said selfishly: "Immortal, not everyone can cultivate. Ordinary monks like us, even if we practice hard until the end of our lives, we may not be able to succeed in building a foundation. Let alone becoming a fairy."

The wild dogs wandering in the wilderness are basically unable to accept the fact that they are mediocre.

But he has always dreamed that one day he will be able to meet by chance and soar into the sky.

As everyone knows, in the wilderness, newcomers replace old ones every year.
