Volume 1 The First Coming to Heaven Chapter 37 Yin Mountain (1)
Yinshan is located 100 miles north of Lin'an City.
The vegetation on the mountain is dense, there are many prey, there are fruit forests, and after the spring rains, there are delicious spring bamboo shoots to pick. It's just a name that's not very nice.
There is a small town at the foot of the mountain, called Xiaolin Town, built on the mountain, a mortal town. Yinshan is regarded as a "mortal mountain", and there has been no accident in this mountain for nearly 100 years.
In the past half month, news has come out in Xiaolin Town that many hunters who went to the mountains to hunt, woodcutters who cut wood, and doctors who collected medicine have disappeared inexplicably.
There is always a fish that slips through the net, and fortunately, one person was able to escape, and the only survivor brought the news back.
The "Demon Slayer Team" led by Long Batian and Wu Wei came to Xiaolin Town.
At this time, the six people were in the local mayor's house, and with the cultivation of the six people, the old mayor showed excitement.
"The town has saved ....... When the mayor learned that Long Batian was the captain of the team, he was about to kneel down on the spot, which made the reckless man at a loss and helped the old man to dissuade him again and again.
"Grandpa Mayor, we also received a reward, you don't have to be so polite. In the end, it was the only woman in the team who spoke up to persuade the mayor to calm down.
In fact, it is not surprising why the mayor of the town has such a big reaction.
According to Wu Wei's observation along the way, except for the rich land of Yinshan, the other three sides of Xiaolin Town are wilderness, either sand roads for merchants and cars, or mass graves and swamps, which are places where even mountain thieves and robbers do not want to stay. In this environment, only this place in Yinshan can raise the townspeople, and now that there are demon beasts in Yinshan, it has become dangerous, and it is strange that the local people are not in a hurry.
Long Batian asked, but the mayor did not answer immediately, but limped to the door. raised his head slightly, looked at the mother mountain that had nurtured him for ninety years, and sighed:
"Half a month ago, the Zhou Orion in the town went up the mountain and did not come back for two days. At the same time, there is also a famous doctor Sun in the town, hehe, this old stubborn, he is over eighty years old, and he has no heirs under his knees with an old bone, so he has to go up the mountain to collect medicine himself. ”
"This old stubborn man insisted that others call him a famous doctor, and he didn't do anything to call him a miracle doctor, and said that he had treated a big man back then, and I heard that it was Lord Tisi. The village chief had a look of remembrance on his face, as if he felt sorry for his friend.
The young people did not interject and continued to wait for the following
"Old Sun, he has been famous in the town ever since. But...... , went up and never came back, alas. ”
"What a good person, I never came back, I heard that the wolf demon on the mountain even has that nine layers, what is that ......?"
When the mayor said this, he suddenly looked at everyone, as if he was stuck.
"Qi training period" Wu Wei reminded coldly.
"Yes, yes, the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, I heard that the wolf demon can compete with the master of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period. The old mayor was so excited that he danced and gestured wildly.
"Poof, ha" The funny appearance made several young Taoist friends laugh.
"It's so hateful, it's so hateful. The old mayor lowered his head, and the corners of his yellowed eyes were slightly moist.
"Is that survivor there?" Wu Wei was expressionless, not knowing what was in his mind.
The old mayor came back to his senses and glanced at Wu Wei leisurely.
"Is that the Orion who escaped from Ascension with his life still in the town?" Wu Wei's focus was different from others.
"Oh, oh, in the town, that's the old boy next door, who is only nineteen years old this year. ”
The mayor suddenly pointed to the next door.
"Brother Wu, this kind of mortal who has no cultivation is asking in vain, right?"
Chen Jin opened his mouth at this time, he didn't want to speak, but this guy cared about too many things.
"That's right, let's hurry into the mountain, kill the monster and we're done. The big man Long Zhantian also chimed in.
Wu Wei didn't bother to explain, so he said that you go first, and I immediately followed, and walked straight towards the building pointed out by the mayor.
"This guy is really rampant!" Chen Jin gritted his teeth and squeezed out.
"Big brother, let's treat him so politely, he's good...... Hmph!" "Old Sanlong Zhantian is also a little unbearable for Wu Wei's own way.
"That's it, the demon beasts that practice the strength of the ninth layer of qi should not be underestimated, and the six people of the wind and sand array are indispensable. Long Batian shook his head and said.
"Then let him continue to be arrogant like this, he is only in the early stage, big brother, you are in the middle stage of the ninth layer of qi cultivation...... Oh?" Long Zhantian wanted to say something, but he seemed to be running out of words.
"Hmm......" The second eldest Long Shengtian actually nodded at this time.
"Big brother, look at the second brother......"
"Don't say it, go check it out. Long Batian waved his hand and said impatiently.
The five of them then came to the house of the second girl in the mouth of the town mayor, and when they entered the door, they saw Wu Wei helping a young man "take the pulse".
"Did that wolf demon really chase you all the way back then?" Wu Wei asked.
"Yes, my lord, the little one was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay for a moment, he just wanted to run for his life. The young man seemed to think of the picture at that time, and he looked frightened.
"That wolf demon has been chasing you?" Wu Wei asked again.
"Yes, yes, in the end I fled to the town, and the wolf demon retreated into the mountains. The young man hurriedly replied.
"Okay, I guess I know the situation,
Brother Batian, fellow Daoists, let's go. Wu Wei nodded and turned to look at the crowd.
"Hehe, let's go up the hill and try to complete this bounty before the sun goes down. Long Batian nodded.
The group was a little inexplicable, saying who are you guarding against in such a whisper, everyone is a monk, and it is not difficult to hear it.
Outside the house, the mayor seemed to be waiting for everyone, and there was a crying woman beside her, in her forties, wearing a white scarf and mourning clothes.
Seeing a few people coming out of the house, the woman walked quickly to a few people, knelt down and begged: "Immortals, woo~~ The concubine has something to ask for. ”
Wu Wei's biggest headache was this kind of crying woman, and she glanced at Chen Piaopiao.
Chen Piaopiao understood, stepped forward to help the woman up, and comforted: "This aunt, we are preparing to go up the mountain to eliminate demons, please tell me if you need help with anything." ”
"Wooh. The concubine just wants all the immortals to help confirm whether my husband is real... Is it really ......?" the woman could no longer say, but the meaning was clear.
"Auntie, what are the characteristics of your husband?" asked Chen Piaopiao with a smile.
Chen Piaopiao's sentence is just right, if it is to say, "What does your husband look like and what clothes does he wear?" it would be a bit of an idiot.
"I don't know, I don't know, it's been more than ten days...... And the wolf demon...... It's a human being and the words are long gone, woo~~~" The more the woman spoke, the more sad she became, but she desperately covered her mouth with a silk scarf to prevent herself from making a sound.
Wu Wei feels that this kind of extreme sadness and self-restraint situation can easily make him infected with mental illness, but he is not a good person, he has to take care of everything, and under the premise of not being sure of the current situation, maintaining "objectivity" and "neutrality" is the best performance.
Chen Piaopiao didn't know what to say next, and finally the mayor took two steps, looked at everyone with a gloomy gaze, and stopped talking.
"Mayor Mare, please tell me if you have anything to do. Long Batian stopped.
"The wolf demon is fierce and powerful, and the old townsfolk thank you in advance. Mayor Mare, chaling and shaking his head.
"Mayor Town, don't worry, the six of us will definitely be able to kill this fang on this trip. At this time, Long Batian took out the Wind and Sand Array and shook it in front of the mayor.
"Good, good, so good. However, please be careful and make sure that you return safely. Mayor Mare's smile.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Mayor, we'll be back in a while. Chen Piaopiao said with relief.
"The old man naturally believes you, by the way, this little friend must not mention the matter of the demon beast to the second child again in the future, it is not easy for the child to escape from the mouth of the wolf demon. ”
"The girl was a widow at a very young age, just such a son...... Hey~". The mayor looked at Wu Wei and admonished, his face full of worry, and then turned around and staggered home.
"I'm sorry, but I've asked what I should have asked, and there won't be a next time. Wu Wei smiled, looking at the back of the mayor with some inexplicable meaning.
