Chapter 1013: The Killer

already a shell of its former self.Lü Cheng knew that it was the period of the Battle of Guan Du.Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each raised their bows, horses, and infantry troops. A massive war was brewing.Lu...Lu Cheng held no hope of finding mature plants here, for the Ji Zhu was particularly delicate. If the Heavenly Gate closed and Wuzhuang Guan had no one left...

"Daoist Mingyue!"

Just after passing through the Heavenly Cave's prohibition, Lu Cheng saw a familiar figure.

Qingfeng and Mingyue are disciples of Zhenyuan Daxian, the master of Wuzhuangguan.

Average talent, usually responsible for serving tea and water.

Seeing the silhouette of the moon, Lu Cheng quickly took two steps forward.

But the figure immediately vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.

Hallucination

Lu Cheng shook his head and walked over gently.

The crimson jewel grass requires planting in dim light, leading to a dimly lit environment within the cave dwelling.

Where the moon disappears, there is nothing.

"The bright moon"

Lu Cheng seemed to have discovered something and quickened his pace.

"Ah!!! No...... Don't!!!" Suddenly, Mingyue's voice came out in a frenzied way again. This startled Lu Cheng and he didn't dare to approach.

"Bright moon, don't be afraid, it's me."

Lu Cheng kept some distance and soothed, but hearing Lu Cheng's voice, the other party seemed even more afraid, calling out even louder.

"Great Marshal, Your Majesty the King of Hell, please don't kill me!! Don't tear me apart!!! Don't eat me!!!"

"What are you talking about......."

Before Lü Cheng could finish speaking, the bright moon suddenly seemed to be possessed.

"Ugh......you ate Qingfeng, you ate Shizun, I'll fight you to the death!!! I'll fight you to the death!!!"

You triggered a card battle, Battle Power: 0 vs 【Master of the Bright Moon】Battle Power:

Lu Cheng was not panicked.

If the prohibition at the entrance of this place hasn't been changed, then the prohibition against theft likely still exists.

This is the benefit of a familiar episode.

Lu Cheng, borrowing the faint light, pressed his left hand against the stone wall.

Wood, Water.......Earth.....Earth.

A rumbling sound suddenly echoed from the stone walls of the cave.

(The opponent has been caught in a trap card and is unable to move.)

"Ah!!!" Mingyue's mournful voice echoed from the faint light.

Lu Cheng frowned.

It's not that bad, this is just a basic Five Elements Confinement Formation. The stone wall only traps the enemy, how come you're making such a tragic fuss

Walked quickly past.

The stone wall encircles the bright moon.

Two eyes, one nose.......

Blood was gushing out of his mouth in big, mouthfulfuls.

Lu Cheng immediately lifted the restrictions on the Heavenly Cave. Mingyue collapsed to the ground like mud, her body twitching uncontrollably.

muttering to herself.

Sometimes hate.

"Kill you....... Kill you......."

Sometimes fearful.

"Don't kill me, wake up....General, the war is won.....Wake up...."

Soon, Mingyue Daoist passed away.

He walked over slowly.

Upon seeing this, Lu Cheng fell into deep thought.

Did he kill the bright moon himself

It's impossible........

The restrictions of the Ji Zhu Cave Heaven were so strict that not even a chicken could be killed, and Ming Yue's performance didn't seem like an act at all.

Slowly crouched down.

You obtained [Notes of the Moonlit Daoist].

Lu Cheng borrowed the dim light to read the hastily scribbled words on it.

The front is the bright moon looking at the little drops of the red pearl, and there are some notes, such as when to water.

Quickly, Lu Cheng shook his head vigorously.

He found that the following text gradually began to become unrecognizable.

From this point in time, the moon's ability to record started to show problems

Lu Cheng doesn't think so.

He silently glanced at the Taoist's corpse.

Blood is seeping out from the orifices.

Even on his deathbed, he was still able to express his fear and anger fluently through language.

Then it can only mean that these words were influenced by the rules.

Put down the notebook.

Lu Cheng began to carefully observe the corpse.

The body showed almost no signs of injury and there was no possibility that death resulted from prohibited compression.

But.... death is only the beginning.

Lu Cheng remained silent and still.

As expected, he soon felt the wind and coolness behind him.

"Mingyue, have you left the troubled shell behind Are you feeling better"

Death is merely a symbol of the end of "yang."

Although Lu Cheng couldn't manipulate yin and yang in a rules-bound duel, he knew that just physical injuries wouldn't send Ming Yue's soul flying apart.

"You..." a soft voice suddenly came from behind.

"Are you..."

"I am Lu Cheng, an old friend of your master."

"Am I..."

Lu Cheng turned his head and glanced around, but there was nothing. He was now just an ordinary person's body, without any divine sense or spiritual vision.

"The bright moon.....Daohao Mingyue, Mount Wanshou, Fifth Zhuang Guan Mingyue Daoist."

"I.......My name is Mingyue."

Mingyue repeated herself.

Lu Cheng was very patient. He needed to know, what exactly was the opponent, where they were, and what form they took.

Of course, the "Bright Moon" before us has a nose and eyes, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's human.

"Where are they" Lu Cheng asked the question he most wanted to ask.

A cold wind blew across her cheeks, and the hand-written notes on the ground suddenly began to flutter and turn their pages.

Rustling, rustling.... the sound of paper.

It's inexplicable, and a little creepy.

It's not that the scene is eerie.

But then Lu Cheng suddenly realized, the murderer, was still here!

With a flash, Lu Cheng immediately pressed himself against the wall and activated the restriction on the other side.

Time probably only comes when a prohibition is activated, guessing the opponent is non-biological, spiritual kind!

So, activate the Mind Guard and see if it works.

Not delighting in material things, not being sad about oneself. The most fundamental Taoist principle of keeping one's heart still shines brightly within the cave.

Then.

Both the bright moon and the corpse vanished without a trace...

Only the opened notebook was left.

Hello.

Lu Cheng let out a long sigh.

Thanks to the bright moon.

But.......left too many mysteries.

The other party invaded here, but did not breach the prohibition. What is their intention

Why was the moon killed immediately after being discovered, but not oneself who had no power to tie a chicken

Having swept the Heart Guard Sutra, Lu Cheng picked up the note on the ground.

The following text has begun to appear one by one.

But strangely, although the words were already very clear, Lu Cheng still couldn't recognize many of them, and it was very difficult to identify them.

.......

The hand-written content is detailed and terrifying.

It's basically a product of mental illness.

However, Lu Cheng was truly knowledgeable and experienced. As an artifact from antiquity, he could actually analyze some peculiarities within it.

Before the Change of Eternal Life, everything was normal.

And after recording an event known as the Changsheng Transformation, Mount Wanshou may have been invaded.

These are all Lu Cheng's speculations.

At this time, the thing temporarily named "Guai Xing" began to appear.

The moon and the clear wind are considered scientists. They protect the crimson pearl while researching ways to fight against the grotesque creatures.

But the foundation of Journey to the West is beginning to change, and the moon is starting to become mentally unstable.

Even the breeze seems to have vanished.

Lu Cheng speculated that they were likely a kind of unknown entity that did not rely on material energy but was extremely dependent on spiritual sustenance.

Because they didn't plunder the Crimson Jewel, but instead devoured and transformed countless experimental records, including this notebook in my hand.......

Yes, that's right.

They actually devour Chinese characters, leaving this place riddled with holes and completely ruined.

Further speculating, Lu Cheng believed that these nameless and indescribable anomalies had invaded the work "Journey to the West" during his own turn.

It has not yet caused damage to material civilization, but it eats away at and plunders the spirit of civilization.

The most likely to be affected first are the people at the grassroots level.

The reduction of spiritual and cultural influence led to a gradual deviation in cognition, which ultimately resulted in the concretization of "monstrous forms."

........

Lu Cheng is after all a red-grade player, placed in any civilization he would be at the level of a guardian god. His guess about the invasion's general direction was not wrong.

But... it is not entirely accurate........I am the product of Divine Power, Divine Will, and Divine Love;Before me there was no eternal creation;I will live as long as heaven and earth."Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!"
