Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

Chapter 120 The Man Meditating at the Foot of the Mountain

Not far ahead, you can see a man dressed in dark blue clothes sitting on the ground, with dry straw spread out on the ground.

"Qingqing..." Feng Yu reminded her, "We can sense a very strong demonic aura here."

“Hmm…” Long Chuqing said, “I noticed that too.”

The man sitting on the ground sensed someone approaching, opened his eyes, and turned to look at them.

He looked at it carefully, then slowly stood up. Suddenly, he staggered and almost lost his balance; his legs had gone numb from sitting for so long.

He pursed his lips and frowned slightly, supporting himself on his knee and swinging one leg to relieve the tingling sensation in his leg.

When he stood up again, Xiao Han and Long Chuqing were already standing in front of him.

"Huh..." The man was surprised to find that the girl in front of him was the same beautiful woman he had met a few days ago.

"Girl, what a coincidence! It's you. Do you remember me? I helped you fight off some thugs on the street the other day."

As he spoke, he happily stepped forward, pushed aside the green shadow beside him, and approached Long Chuqing.

Xiao Han reached out to stop him, saying coldly, "Stop. If you have something to say, just say it over there."

Su Jue looked at the arm that had blocked his way, then turned to Xiao Han and said with a light smile, "Young master, there's no need to be nervous. I just wanted to greet this young lady; I won't hurt her."

Long Chuqing put her hand on Xiao Han's arm and shook her head at him.

Xiao Han looked at Su Jue and said coldly, "You don't need to get that close to say hello."

"Yes, I was presumptuous," Su Jue said, taking a step back.

"By the way, what brings you all here?" Su Jue asked in surprise. "Don't tell me you're here for sightseeing; there's nothing fun to do in this desolate wilderness."

Qing Tong asked suspiciously, "I'd like to ask you, young master, why are you here alone? Don't tell us you're planning to meditate and cultivate here?"

"Exactly." Su Jue said awkwardly, "Although I'd like to chat with this young lady, everyone should leave as soon as possible if there's nothing else to do! This place isn't fun; it's dangerous."

Qingying looked at him in confusion and asked, "Since you said there is danger, why are you still sitting here?"

"I don't need to tell you!" Su Jue waved his hand and said lazily, "You guys should leave here right now!"

Danger? Hearing this word again, Xiao Han recalled what Long Chuqing had said before.

He looked at Long Chuqing and found that she was looking intently up the mountain.

He couldn't help but wonder if there was some real danger in this place.

Why is this man here, and why is Chu Qing here as well? Could it be that they know each other?

No, that man just said they had only met once, so it couldn't have been pre-arranged; it was just a coincidence that they met here. But why did they both come here?

With many things unpredictable and the situation unclear, Xiao Han's expression began to turn serious.

"Chu Qing..." Xiao Han called out.

"Hmm... what's wrong?" Long Chu heard Xiao Han call her and turned to look at him, snapping out of her thoughts.

Xiao Han tentatively asked, "Shall we leave now?"

Seeing Xiao Han's expression turn serious again, Long Chuqing knew he was probably overthinking things again.

"Wait a minute, okay?"

Xiao Han nodded after hearing this: "Hmm..."

He thought to himself, "Chu Qing must have come here for something."

Long Chuqing walked towards Su Jue, looked him over, and said leisurely, "You're a Celestial Master, aren't you!"

"That's right, I am Su Jue, the Celestial Master of the Qingyu Sect." Su Jue introduced himself with his hands clasped.

He then realized what was happening and asked in surprise, "Miss, how did you know I'm a Celestial Master? Is it... really that obvious?"

He couldn't help but look himself up and down, but he couldn't find anything different about his clothes compared to others!

"Celestial Master." Xiao Han and Qing Tong Qingying both looked puzzled upon hearing this.

Qingying recalled a scene from a storybook and suddenly came to her senses, saying, "Aren't exorcists supposed to catch demons?"

Qing Tong chimed in, "I think I've heard of Celestial Masters before. It seems that some sects specialize in the art of catching demons."

After hearing this, Xiao Han connected the dots. At the city gate, Chu Qing had mentioned to his third brother that the murderer might be a demon.

She came here specifically today, and at first she didn't want him to come with her, saying it was dangerous.

Then I met a Taoist priest here who was exorcising demons. The priest happened to be guarding the mountain. Could it be that there are monsters on this mountain?

After reaching a conclusion, he looked up at the mountain with a solemn expression.

He then looked at Long Chuqing. Could it be that Chuqing already knew there were monsters here, and that those people were harmed by monsters?

But knowing there was danger, why did she still come here?

"Celestial Master..." Long Chuqing called out.

"My name is Su Jue," Su Jue said with a polite smile.

"Alright, Master Su," Long Chuqing said helplessly, "Why don't you go up the mountain? What's the use of guarding here? This mountain is so big, they won't obediently come out in front of you."

Su Jue was surprised again. He squinted and looked at the woman in front of him. This girl knew the purpose of his visit, which meant that she knew there were monsters on the mountain.

Now she's here again. Who is she? Could she be a fellow professional?

"May I ask, young lady, which faction do you belong to? Are you related to me?"

"No sect or faction." Long Chuqing said speechlessly, "You still haven't answered my question!"

"Hehe... I thought you were from the same clan as me! It made me a little excited."

“Since it’s a question from a young lady, I might as well answer it.” He straightened his expression and looked up at the mountain, saying, “I have set up a protective barrier around this mountain. Now, this is the only way out. As long as they cannot break through the barrier I set up, they cannot escape from any other place.”

"As for why I didn't go up the mountain," Su Jue said, stroking his chin, "to be honest, I went up there a couple of days ago, but they set up a poison barrier, and I almost fell for their trap."

"Since we haven't found a way to control the addiction, I can only stay here for now, at least to prevent them from going out and continuing to harm people."

"I have already sent a message back to the sect by carrier pigeon. In a couple of days, my fellow disciples will come here with magical artifacts to remove the poison. Then we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

After listening to Su Jue and Long Chuqing's conversation, Xiao Han became even more convinced that there were monsters on the mountain.

The bronze and green figures looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this. The appearance of a demon-catching master here, along with words like talismans, barriers, magic artifacts, and the idea of ​​catching them all in one fell swoop.

Recalling what the Dragon Girl had said before, she seemed to have said that there were mountains, water, and possibly monsters.

They seemed to have thought of something as well, their expressions became unnatural, and they couldn't help but swallow.

“Chu Qing…” Xiao Han stepped forward and asked, “Aren’t there some things you can tell us now?”

Although Qingying was afraid of the existence of those things, human curiosity is very strong, and they also wanted to know if it was really as they thought.
