Chapter 107 [Blocking the road and begging to be ridden]

  Fang Chang seemed unaware of the surrounding situation.

  The smaller the bonfire, the less it can illuminate.

  The few dark shadows around were encouraged and emboldened, maintaining the momentum of waiting to pounce, and slowly crawled closer. They saw the person on the bed under the sky in the middle of the open space, who was sleeping soundly, and wanted to move, so they went forward to kill and chew.

  Suddenly!

  A spiritual light flew up from the human clothes on the ground, flying like a shooting star, and shuttled around at high speed.

  The sharp blades flew past the flesh, cutting off a few hairs, one after another, the bodies of several wild beasts suddenly tensed up, and then tightly clamped their tails between their hind legs, and ran away howling.

   Soon, these figures disappeared into the night.

  Fang Chang turned over, still sleeping soundly.

  The straight-backed small jade knife in the air made a big circle around the campfire.

   Seeing that Zuo Jin was no longer a threat, he made two rounds and flew back to Fang Chang's pocket, and put himself into the sheath, becoming unpretentious again.

  ...

  …

  Accompanied by the rising sun, Fang Chang woke up from his sleep.

  He didn’t have morning class either, he just lay there quietly, feeling the faint morning mist and the faint sunlight, listening to the birds chirping in the treetops in the distance, and the unknown insects in the nearby grass.

   It took half a quarter of an hour before he stretched and got up from the ground. Practitioners are so casual.

  The bonfire next to it has been extinguished, but there are still embers. The morning humidity is heavy. It took a lot of effort for Fang Chang to find some suitable dry wood and light the fire again.

  Breakfast is easy to handle. There are still a few boiled eggs in his package, which he bought in the field store at the foot of the mountain before he entered Zongduan Mountain.

  Carefully extinguished the bonfire completely, buried it with soil, Fang Chang packed his luggage and continued on the road.

   "Huh? Interesting."

  Fang Chang stood upright, smiled, and walked briskly along the mountain road.

   There is a figure, kneeling not far away.

  It was an elk, with huge antlers like a small tree, but its posture was somewhat human-like. It was kneeling on its hind legs, with its front hooves flat and its head on the ground, blocking the middle of the road.

   "Shangxian!"

  Seeing Fang Chang approaching, the other party shouted, and at the same time put his head on the ground even tighter.

  Seeing this monster blocking the way, Fang Chang didn't make a sound, but just stood still a few feet away, staring at it intently.

   "Shangxian!"

  The other party shouted again.

  Fang Chang opened his mouth and said, "What's the matter?"

The elk kowtowed a few times: "Last night, I saw the head of the fairy sleeping alone in the open field by the road, and a few wolves, tigers and leopards couldn't get close, so I knew that the head of the fairy had great powers, and the little monster came to seek refuge. I would like to be the mount of the head of the fairy. I just hope that there will be a chance to transform in the future."

   "I don't need it." Fang Chang shook his head, passed by the elk demon, and continued to move forward.

   Then, there was an extremely sad cry from behind.

   Turning his head, Fang Chang saw that the elk remained in its original position, crying loudly under disappointment and sadness, and the sound shook the mountains and fields, looking extremely miserable.

   Shaking his head, he felt a little compassion.

   Stopping in his tracks, Fang Chang asked: "Aren't you afraid that I, who like to subjugate demons, kill you here and take the antlers and hang them on the wall for decoration?"

  Hearing the voice behind, the elk demon hastily wiped a few tears from his hooves, tried his best to stop crying, turned around and kowtowed:

   "Little demon, my life is approaching, it's nothing more than a gamble, even if the antlers are cut off by the gods and used as decorations, it's better than watching myself being worn down by the years, gradually aging and decaying in this mountain."

  Beasts in the world, after enlightening their spirits and becoming demons, will gain dozens of times or hundreds of times their lifespans. Beasts that can live for more than ten years can often live for hundreds of years after their spirits are awakened, which is a long lifespan.

   But this long lifespan is only compared to ordinary human beings, and it is not enough if compared with practitioners.

  After the monsters have turned their bones, the next step is to pursue the transformation. In addition to being closer to the human body, it is also for a longer lifespan.

  After all, compared to practitioners, beasts and monsters have a short lifespan, and it is difficult to make further progress on the road of practice. For example, grass and trees, monsters, etc., have a longer lifespan than humans, but it is difficult to practice, and the progress is slow and unbearable.

  Compared to most wild animals, human beings are inherently long-lived creatures. If there is no disease or disaster, they can live for more than a hundred years. If they are successful in cultivation, they can simply live for thousands of years. It is also a creature favored by heaven and earth, and its practice is simple, so transformation is the first choice of all monsters.

  Although the lifespan of a monster is only a little longer than that of ordinary people, only a hundred years, but it is not stingy with new life.

  Moreover, if you have the heart of Taoism and the foundation of practice, you can live a long life like a practitioner if you enter the practice with a human body. Why not do it.

  This is also the common choice of monsters in the world. Those who have obtained a human body like the white fox demon Hu Xueqiu but don't consider going further are still a minority after all.

   But how easy is it to change form?

  In other words, on the road of cultivation, the starting point of human beings is higher than the ending point of most monsters.

It's just that the reason why people are human is that there are very few individuals who choose the path of practice, which is also an important reason. Otherwise, when the social order is completely disintegrated, people will no longer be human. Phenomenon.

  Seeing that Fang Chang's expression remained unchanged, the elk's spirit darkened, and he couldn't help but began to sob again.

  Waving his hand, Fang Chang said, "Don't cry."

   These words are very effective, with an unpleasant squeak like deflation, the cry of the elk spirit was stopped by its hoof covering its mouth.

  Fang Chang carefully observed the deer demon in front of him, and smiled slightly: "Seeing your sincerity, it happens that I need to travel far recently. You will travel for me for three days. I promise you a chance."

  The Elk Fairy was stunned when he heard it, and then suddenly understood the meaning, and began to kowtow violently.

   "Don't kneel." Shaking his head, Fang Chang said, "Actually, I don't like people kneeling on me."

   "Yes, Shangxian." After experiencing ups and downs, the elk demon was very happy, and almost cried with joy, but thought that the elder in front of him might not like it, so he forcibly held back.

  It stood up, put its hooves on the ground, and lowered its head: "Sir, please take a seat."

"Thanks for your hard work." Fang Chang said with a little bit, and then raised his legs and sat on the elk's back, "Continue walking along this mountain road and go straight to Yuzhou. After three days, I will give you some pointers, and then you will leave on your own. That's fine."

   "Follow orders, Shangxian, and I don't know what to call Shangxian?"

   "My surname is Fang, you don't have to call me Shangxian, just call me Mr. Fang."

  The elk spread its four hooves and began to run along the mountain road, much faster than a horse.

  Considering the acceptance of passers-by, Fang Chang extended the passive transparency of his body a little, so that everyone would subconsciously ignore this man-monster.

   With the help of elk instead of transportation, Fang Chang, who was originally leisurely and leisurely, increased his speed.

  Besides, after leaving Zongduan Mountain, they took shortcuts from time to time, cutting the bends and straightening the route. It was no problem to find mountains and rivers on the way. The elk were not afraid of the cold water in winter, and crossing the river was light and tight.

   Thank you, I’m Ma Jie, Mathematics Ang, Misty Pig Er Er for the reward
