Chapter 242: Demon Qi
"Chirp, chirp, chirp"
"Chirp, chirp, chirp"
In the early morning, the sky has just dawned, and the early birds have begun to stand on the trees and chirp and celebrate the arrival of a new day. ⊙,
In the morning mist, a group of five people slowly walked along the mountain road, two of them in the front, two in the middle, and one behind.
The two people in front are the barricade team members who are about to go to the stone bridge to change shifts, and the two in the middle are Chi Shang Zhenyi and Yamashita Akira, and the last one to follow is Akira Yamashita's driver.
Yesterday, Chi Shang Zhenyi They arrived at the small village where the barricade team was stationed when it was dark, and then Chi Shang Zhenyi asked the two remaining roadblock members briefly to learn about the information of Xizi's parents, and found that the two didn't know at all, so he didn't ask more.
Finally, after dinner, a few people rested, so that they could get up early the next morning and go to the stone bridge with the barricade team who had changed shifts.
Chi Shang Zhenyi followed the two barricade members along the mountain road, while listening to the sound of birds in his ears, and at the same time exerted his spiritual power to investigate the surrounding situation.
Along the way, Ike Shang Zhenyi found that this Odagawa River is indeed a good place, with mountains, rivers and forests, it is a good place, and what is even more rare is that the leylines here are maintained very well, although it is not yet to the extent of a blessed land, but it is much stronger than other places in Japan.
In Japan, the underground leylines have long been messed up due to perennial earthquakes, and there are not many good places left, so a comparison of the two immediately shows that this place is excellent.
Yamashita Ming looked at Chi Shang Zhenyi beside him, and found that the other party had been looking around since he entered the mountain, and he was also very curious about this.
Yamashita Ming wanted to know if the other party saw anything special, and after enduring it for a while, he finally asked: "What did Chi Shangjun find, along the way, I found that Chi Shangjun seems to be very concerned about the surrounding scenery." Could it be that there is some kind of ghost around here?"
Chi Shang Zhenyi was using his spiritual power to check a walnut tree that grew on the leyline node and was more than a hundred years old, when he suddenly heard Yamashita Ming want to ask beside him, turned his head and replied: "The environment here is very good compared to other places in Japan, especially near that hillside, there is an old walnut tree that is more than a hundred years old. ”
Saying that, Chi Shang really meant to give the Ming Dynasty a finger in the distance under the mountain. After the other party saw the walnut tree, he continued: "Within two hundred meters of the tree, all of them are good places to raise people and increase their longevity, if ordinary people live there, they will definitely live a few years longer than other places, because the leylines there are more vibrant than other places, as for ghosts and ghosts, I haven't found them yet." ”
Hearing that Chi Shang really said that the small hillside opposite was a good place to raise people and increase their longevity, Yamashita Akira had an idea in his heart at that time, and he planned to go back and buy the land on this hillside immediately after the matter was settled.
Akira Yamashita is very confident in Chi Shang's true eyesight. The only thing that worries him now is the stone bridge where the accident occurred, if the matter can be solved there today, then he can build a house here with confidence, and even he is ready to build it as an ancestral home.
Chi Shang Zhenyi didn't know that Yamashita would think so much because of his words, but even if he knew, he would only laugh it off, because this place was indeed a good place for ordinary people, but it was more chicken for a cultivator like him, especially a cultivator like him who had advanced cultivation. This place is even more useless.
There's a reason why. In Japan, there is a saying called 'shallow water dezuki', which probably means that kappa can only live in small rivers and streams, because kappa creatures usually only live in such small places, and if you change to a place like a large lake, kappa will not be able to live at all, because the waves in the big lake and river are too fierce. Kappa couldn't stand it.
Since there is a description of the kappa can not live in the big lakes and rivers, then there is naturally a metaphor with the opposite tone, just like the ancient Chinese have always described that there is no plane tree can not attract the golden phoenix, this sentence probably means that if you want the phoenix god bird to fall and live, there must be a matching plane tree in the local area. Only then will it be matched.
In the same way, Chi Shang Zhenyi's current cultivation is the realm of the four grades, if he lives in an ordinary place, it will not have any bonus and benefit to himself, it is precisely because of this reason that he will be indifferent to this place that is good in the eyes of ordinary people, because the place here does not match his identity.
After gossiping for a while, the team became quiet again, and it took nearly three hours for several people to finally come to the place where the barricade team was standing.
The barricade team was just a simple wooden hut with only two people inside, and when Chi Shang Zhenyi waited for him, the two were living outside the house roasting sweet potatoes.
Seeing so many strangers coming, the two barricade members immediately stood up vigilantly, and grabbed the two spears placed beside them in their hands, and the two did not relax their vigilance because two of the five people were their own, and their vigilance was quite strong, but when the two barricade team members who led the way to change shifts introduced the identity of Yamashita Ming, the two immediately reversed their expressions, and their faces were eager.
Chi Shang Zhenyi felt a little speechless about the performance of these two roadblock team members, just now these two people gave him a loyal look, but now he immediately turned into a dog's leg, and this change is too fast.
But all this has nothing to do with Chi Shang Zhenyi, he now wants to know if these two people have found Xizi's parents, the two roadblock personnel who led the way for him today, he has already asked each other yesterday, and now he plans to ask this class of roadblockers again to see if the other party knows the news of Xizi's parents.
"Good morning, the two of you, Shang Zhenyi in Xiachi, I came here today to find two people, I don't know if you have seen such two people, their appearance is like this......"
Saying that, Chi Shang Zhenyi began to describe the appearance of Xizi's parents to the two barricades, and described the characteristics of the two in detail, these are all things that Xizi told him on the phone, and he now recounted it completely to the two barricade personnel, without a trace of error in between.
Two barricade officers who had just been on guard with guns told them when they learned that two other colleagues had come to hand over the shift. When their mayor came to accompany the young man this time, the two of them already regarded him as the same person as the mayor.
Such a big man must stutter, so when the two heard each other ask themselves questions, both of them lowered their heads and turned their heads quickly, searching in their minds for the appearance of the couple.
Money and power can be admired and sought after, and they can also give motivation to others. It didn't take long for one of the two barricade team members to quickly raise his head and speak to Chi Shang Zhenyi, as if he was afraid of being preempted by the person next to him.
"Master Chishang, the two villains you just said remembered, these two villains have indeed met, about ten days ago, when I happened to meet these two people because I was looking for firewood for cooking nearby, at that time those two people said that they wanted to enter the stone bridge, but after I stopped them, the two left, and the villain didn't care too much at that time. ”
The words of this barricade officer let Chi Shang Zhenyi know the news of Xizi's parents. Although the barricade officer said that Xizi's parents were blocked back, he was sure that the two pedantic mothers-in-law would not give up easily, and these two people must have seen that there were people guarding here, and they secretly looked for another entrance.
Thinking of this, Chi Shang Zhenyi immediately asked the barricade officer in front of him: "I don't know where else you can reach the stone bridge in this vicinity besides here." ”
It seems that the previous question was answered, and this time the other barricade officer didn't think long before he quickly said to Chi Shang: "Lord Chi Shang, the villain still knows that there is another road that can lead to the stone bridge, but that road is very difficult to walk." ”
"The road is usually a rapids. It is only in the middle of the month that there are a few hours when the water drops and slows down, and only then can pedestrians wade up the river in danger. Enter the closed village, and from the other side of the village reach the broken stone bridge. ”
The words of this roadblock officer made Chi Shang Zhenyi's eyes suddenly light up, if the road that the other party just said was all true, then he dared to guarantee that Xizi's parents would definitely enter the village in that river, which could definitely be done with the characters of these two.
"Do you know when the flow of the river slowed down?"
Seeing this Master Chi Shang staring at him, the barricade officer guessed that the other party should be very concerned about this matter. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately spoke: "Lord Chishang, the villain's family lives near this Odagawa, so the villain knows this place very well. ”
"The rapids slow down on the fifteenth day of the month, and no one in the area can tell why. Yesterday happened to be the fifteenth, and according to the usual rules, the river should be able to wade through people at twelve o'clock in the night. ”
Listening to the words of the roadblocker, Chi Shang Zhenyi immediately secretly calculated in his heart: "Yesterday on the fifteenth, today on the sixteenth, according to the character of Xizi's parents, they will definitely not wait until today, it seems that these two people should go up the waterway, and I have to leave for the stone bridge immediately." ”
Thinking of this, Chi Shang Zhenyi immediately turned to Yamashita beside him and said: "Yamashita-kun, I'm going to leave for the stone bridge immediately, I can't guarantee whether the danger there can be dealt with, why don't you stay here for the time being?"
Akira Yamashita on the side had been listening to Chi Shang Zhenyi's conversation with the barricade team members, and now that he heard that the other party planned to let him stay alone, he thought about it for a while and decided to follow the other party's opinion, after all, this white mist swallowing people is still too weird, and it is very unwise to blindly put himself in danger.
"Okay, let's not go and make trouble for Chi Shangjun under the mountain, just wait here for Chi Shangjun to return safely. ”
Seeing that Yamashita Ming didn't insist on going with him, Chi Shang Zhenyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
What Chi Shang Zhenyi just said was all true, and he couldn't figure it out in his own heart about this white fog, so he didn't have much confidence to take care of Yamashita Ming, an idler.
If something really happened to the other party here, then Chi Shang Zhenyi would also be very troublesome, after all, the other party's identity is a mayor, and now the other party can obey the dissuasion to stay, this is the best choice.
"Yamashita-kun is relieved, he is still very sure of self-preservation, so there is no need to worry about it. ”
After saying goodbye to Akira Yamashita, Chi Shang Shinyi set out on the path to the stone bridge alone, which was between the mountain passes, so he didn't have to worry about making a mistake.
Walking along the path, Chi Shang Zhenyi released his spiritual power as he walked and carefully explored the surrounding scenery, since he entered this path, he felt some strange fluctuations floating around, although this fluctuation was very weak, but he could still feel it.
As he got closer to the collapsed stone bridge, Chi Shang Zhenyi sensed the faint fluctuations around him more and more clearly, and when he could hear the sound of running water with his ears through the col, he finally knew what the fluctuations were.
"It's actually demonic, I didn't expect there to be a demon in this Odagawa, if it weren't for my deep inheritance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to distinguish this demonic power, it seems that this white mist devouring thing should be done by the demon who hasn't met yet, but only a demon can have that kind of means. ”
There is a reason why Chi Shang Zhenyi thinks that this demon qi is difficult for others to identify, in the current Japanese cultivation world, ordinary cultivators can't even see mountain spirits, let alone more advanced demons than mountain spirits.
Mountain spirits are just a kind of first-time psychic aliens, this kind of aliens usually have a very short cultivation time, and at most only tens or hundreds of years, and each demon must practice for at least three hundred years, because only spirits who are more than three hundred years old can cultivate the inner pill in their own body, and only the spirit with the inner pill in their body can be called a demon.
And the biggest characteristic of the demon is that the body will exude demonic energy, which is similar to the coercion of advanced cultivators who have cultivated, and it is a natural breath.
After feeling the demonic aura, Chi Shang Zhenyi raised his attention to the highest, and even held the dust sealing fan in his hand, not because he was cautious, but because he knew that the opponent he was about to face would definitely not be simple.
This demon is not comparable to the mountain elder that Chi Shang really intended to meet in Qiulin Village, and the cultivation of each demon must be at least equivalent to that of a fourth-grade cultivator.
If the general four-grade cultivator and the demon with the same cultivation meet each other, usually the one who dies will be the cultivator, because each demon will have at least one natal supernatural power, and the power of this natal supernatural power is very strong, comparable to treasures such as magic weapon spirit treasure.
It is precisely because of knowing this that Chi Shang is so careful, after all, he doesn't want to put himself in it because he saves people, so it will be a little less cost-effective. (To be continued......) u
