Heaven’s Shadow

The voice was intermittent, and there was a tremor in the whimpering, which was particularly eerie and terrifying in this dark night and cold mountain wind, and one couldn't help but feel a creepy feeling. Although Kunlun Mountain was a spiritual mountain fairyland, it was unlikely that there would be any ghosts and goblins out to harm people, it still sounds a little scary.

What if, what if there are really some hidden demons and monsters on this mountain? ......

Lu Chen stood on the spot, frowning slightly, listened intently for a moment, then said to himself, "It seems to be a female ghost."

After saying that, he continued to walk forward, at a slightly slower pace than before, while his eyes kept glancing around the mountain path in front of him, as if looking for something.

In the night, the mountain road was empty, and the black shadows were swaying, as if in the woods and grasses on both sides of the road were hidden strange eyes, staring at Lu Chen's figure in the dark.

The mountain road was an old road repaired by the Kunlun School for many years. It was weather-stained but still solid and flat, winding and extending forward silently

The strange voice that sounded like a woman crying, still came from the front erratically, but it gradually became clear as Lu Chen walked forward.

As he was walking, Lu Chen suddenly stopped, and saw a hill not far ahead. The mountain road passed through the mountainside, and at the same time, a stone step forked the road, so Lu Chen climbed up the hill.

The hill was covered with pine forests, and the night was so dark that even the stars in the sky were blocked, and the melancholy and choked crying sound seemed to turn a corner here, as if it came down from that mountain.

The cold wind blew, and the pines burst, staring at Lu Chen on the mountain road in darkness and silence.

Lu Chen glanced at the hill, then continued to walk up.

The sound of crying gradually cleared up, and the darkness around became more dense. Not long after, Lu Chen, who was walking on the stone steps, saw a pavilion halfway up the mountain, with a plaque outside the pavilion, but the surrounding area was so dark that he couldn't see the pavilion clearly. But the most frightening thing was that at the moment in the middle of that pavilion, there was a figure sitting by the stone table, with its back facing Lu Chen, the long silhouette was of a woman, her shoulders shrugged slightly, then came a burst of soft sobbing.

One up and one down, one in front and one behind, the surroundings were full of ghosts, when a mountain wind blew quietly, it swept up the trace of black, revealing the "female ghost" with tragic white cheek skin, as if even the air was frozen live in general.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the pavilion, with a hint of impatience, instantly breaking the eerie atmosphere, and then a figure stepped in and complained very rudely to the "female ghost": ""It's the middle of the night. Your ghostly howling will scare people, are you out of your mind?"

"Ah!" The cry was abruptly stopped, and a moment later the "female ghost" who suddenly seemed to be taken aback, let out a scream, and jumped up from the stone table, stumbling backwards, looking at the black figure standing at the edge of the pavilion, and stammered in a trembling voice: "You. Don't you, don't.......come here! Ghosts ......"

"Ghosts can also be afraid of ghosts?" Lu Chen snorted angrily, and casually tapped the fire pocket on his body.

The moment the fire was lit, it illuminated the faces of the two people in the pavilion. The terrified face of the woman on the opposite side flashed there, and after a while, her expression froze at first, and then she showed a somewhat unbelievable expression, and said in astonishment: "Brother Lu, why is it you..."

※※※

At this time, the whole Kunlun faction would call Lu Chen "Brother Lu", and of course Yi Xin was the only one.

With the dim light of the fire, Lu Chen saw Yi Xin's surprised, happy, and bewildered face, with tears still hanging down her face, and her face was very haggard, so he couldn't help shaking his head. With a wave of his hand, the fire suddenly flickered out, and darkness again enveloped the mountain pavilion.

""You don't sleep in the middle of the night, running here to scare people, you young lady is getting more and more powerful." Lu Chen walked to the stone table in the pavilion and sat down under the dim light.

Yi Xin stood by the pavilion for a while, and then walked over cautiously. In the pavilion in the night, the faces of the two people appeared blurred in the darkness again, even though there was only a stone table between them.

Perhaps it was the surprise, or the excitement, Yi Xin did not care about the slightly sarcastic joke in Lu Chen's mouth. Instead, as if somewhat embarrassed, shrank her neck, and only after a moment did she say, "Brother Lu, you, how come you're on this Kunlun Mountain?"

Lu Chen looked up at the sky, felt that there was still more than half an hour before midnight, and there was still time, so he said, " Me? I'm a disciple of Kunlun now."

"Huh?" Yi Xin opened her eyes wide and said in astonishment, "What, you actually joined the Kunlun sect?"

"Hey, don't think that because it's dark I can't see the look of contempt on your face!"

Yi Xin was startled, quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no! Brother Lu, I, I would never look down on you, I just didn't expect it. But it's great that you can come to Kunlun Mountain. Kunlun is also a famous sect, it must be much better for you to be here than to be in Crescent Moon City, a place of confusion."

Lu Chen glanced at her, and could feel the sincere joy in the words of this young girl who had no deep experience in the world, which warmed his heart for no reason, then shook his head and snorted, saying: "Okay, let's talk, What's the matter with you running here crying and pretending to be a ghost in the middle of the night?"

"I...I'm not pretending to be a ghost!" Yi Xin only felt her cheeks heat up. Fortunately, Lu Chen might not be able to see it in the dim light, so she retorted subconsciously, "It's you who jumped out suddenly just now, that's why It’s scary, okay! Don’t say I’m not pretending to be a ghost, even if I am a ghost, you scared even the ghost to death just now.”

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a while, you're really good at speaking." Lu Chen laughed.

Yi Xin didn't want to entangle him on this topic anymore, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Brother Lu, what is your status now, and where are you assigned?"

Lu Chen said: "I have average natural talent, after joining the sect, I only have to be a servant disciple, and now I'm in the Hundred Herb Hall under the Stone Pan Valley planting spiritual fields."

"Ah?" Yi Xin whispered, seemingly a little inconceivably surprised, and said, "What a coincidence! I'm also in the Hundred Herb Hall, it's really...uh."

Her voice suddenly paused, looked at Lu Chen, the smile on her face slowly converged, after a while, with a little caution, said softly to LuChen, "Brother Lu, then today during the daytime, you ......"

"I stood in the spirit field and watched you come out of that forest, and then saw you get tangled with that He Gang until you finally left." Lu Chen said indifferently.

Yi Xin was dumbfounded.

After a while, Lu Chen sighed and said, "Okay, now you can tell me what's going on?"
