Chapter 23: The Town of Xitui

On the side of the mountains, there is a small town, the name of the town is Xitui Town. The town www.biquge.info surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the south side has a road leading to the outside. Under the mountains outside the town, there are some small villages and villages. The town is relatively remote and rarely visited by outsiders. As a result, the local people have formed a pure and hospitable character.

At the beginning of the rising sun, a young man walked outside Xitui Town, the young man looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the young man carried two pheasants on his back, and a wild man. Looks like it's going to the town to sell. This boy is a monkey, and his current name is Monkey King.

At the beginning, after Wukong escaped from the Leaning Moon Cave, he flew out of Fangcun Mountain with Jin Douyun all the way, and Jin Douyun used up his spiritual power and fell. Because I was afraid that the "Tushi Palace" would find trouble, I didn't dare to go to the big towns, but I just walked west along some small villages and small towns. Over the years, I haven't encountered any trouble.

In the past few years, Wukong has been practicing according to the booklet left by the old man, and finally practiced to the realm of the beginning of the Yuan Shen. He couldn't wait, and took out the spirit grass brought out from the small world and swallowed it. What makes people speechless is that he doesn't feel anything. Even ordinary people don't have the feeling of heat and dryness that they should have after eating great supplements. It was as if what he had eaten was not a rare elixir, but just an ordinary weed. I wonder if the elixir has expired?

There are not many elixirs brought out by Wukong, only five, all of which were carefully selected by the old man. It is not clear what the specific effect is, but it is known that each plant contains a huge amount of heaven and earth spiritual power. After trying three strains that were useless, I really didn't want to waste any more, so I thought: "Let's find someone to practice these two strains into a spirit pill and try again." It seems that the old man's words are still not very reliable! ”

After the beginning of the primordial gods, Wukong's 'Xuantian Seventy-two Changes' has made small progress, and various changes have also made small successes. However, the old man's 'fixation technique' still can't be practiced at home, and it doesn't work when it is used. Of course, he had only tested on the beasts of the mountains. It seems that the mental strength is still not enough.

However, Goku is still very satisfied, at least in terms of hunting. Over the years, whenever Wukong thought of the old man, he would sink his divine sense into the 'Golden Douyun'. The spiritual power in the 'Golden Douyun' has long been gone, and it cannot be used. But every time his consciousness entered, he felt as if the old man had returned. Gradually, there was also a sense of heart-to-heart connection between him and 'Jin Douyun'.

When he found that the elixir was useless to him, Wukong put his mind on what the old man said, the cultivation method of demon beasts. So he walked all the way down, and he noticed where there was a monster or something. But I never found out. I can't help but feel annoyed in my heart, it's hard to see a monster these days! Two months ago he walked to the 'town of Cithui'. Seeing that this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the environment is quiet, he found an abandoned wooden house at the foot of the mountain to the west of the town, and he simply repaired the wooden house, and wanted to live here for a while.

After Wukong enters the town, he goes straight to the butcher shop in the town that sells game. The owner of the butcher shop is surnamed Zhao, and he is a black fat man who is very easy-going. These days, the prey that Wukong catches will be brought here and sold to the boss for some money. Seeing Wukong coming, the fat boss took the initiative to say hello: "Yo, isn't this Brother Sun?" What good things did you bring today? Bring it to me and show me. ”

Wukong also smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao is good, business is booming today!" With that, he entered the door and put the pheasant and rabbit on his shoulder on the ground.

"Yes, yes, the little brother just has the ability to always hit good things. Look at this rabbit, how fat! These two pheasants are not bad either. It's still the old rule, you wait a while, I'll get you the money. After saying that, the fat boss collected the game and went into the back room to get money for Wukong.

Wukong took the money, thanked the boss, and chatted with the boss again. At this time, the fat boss remembered something and said to Wukong: "Little Brother Sun, it's best not to go into the mountain these days." Especially in the mountains to the north, don't go there. ”

Goku asked strangely, "Why?" A tiger on the mountain? ”

"Tiger? What is a tiger? In the past few days, there have been 'mountain ghosts' in the mountains in the north, and there is more than one. ”

"Mountain ghosts? Boss, are you kidding? I've been to several nearby mountains, but I've never seen or heard of them. There are still some mountain ghosts in this mountain. Boss, you let people cheat, right? ”

"Little brother, don't believe it, this is the news from Hanchi Village in the north, it's true, someone saw it with their own eyes."

"Really!" Wukong was interested when he heard this, and leaned forward and said, "Boss, tell me about it." What the hell is going on? ”

The fat boss saw that there were no customers in the store, and there was nothing to do, so he said, "Okay, then I'll tell you about it." Hanchi Village is deep in the mountains to the north, and Li Daniu in the village, as you should recognize, is a hunter who often comes to me to sell game. ”

"You know, Brother Li. I met you in your store a few times ago, and he was very talkative, and he asked me to go to his place to play. ”

"Yes, that's what Li Daniu told me. He said that a while ago, there was a family in their village, and someone in the family died. This was nothing, but the strange thing is that soon after the deceased was buried, his family found that the deceased's grave had been turned over. You must know that in our poor country, there will be no funeral goods for the burial of the dead, so it cannot be done by tomb robbers. But if it weren't for the tomb robbers, I really couldn't think of anyone who would do such a boring thing.

The people of the family, fearing that the person who turned the grave would destroy the body, decided to get the body out and choose a new place to bury it. But dig it up and take a look, good fellow, and guess what? The body was gone. The empty coffin in the tomb looked as if someone had smashed it. The family was blinded at the time, and they didn't know what to do.

At that time, the news spread in the village, some said that the beast had taken it away, and others said that it had turned into a zombie and ran out on its own. There was a lot of uproar for a while. ”

Wukong asked curiously, "Then why did you become a mountain ghost again?" ”

The fat boss took a sip of water, and then said, "Don't worry! Listen to me slowly. The incident caused a stir, and the family also searched the vicinity, but found no clues about the body, let alone the body. After a while, it was over.

Just when everyone thought it was over. But people in the village began to disappear again. At first, everyone searched together, but they couldn't find it at all. The villagers also reported to the official. It's useless, the mountain here is high and the emperor is far away, and the government just sent a few people to see it. Every once in a while, someone goes missing in the village. This frightened everyone, and they didn't even dare to go out of the house when it was dark, and they went out during the day with several people. Only this Li Daniu is bold, relying on his own brute strength, he is not afraid of anything. He thought that the missing person must have been taken by a large beast from the mountain. And he is an Orion, and it is his ability to catch wild beasts. He wants to catch this harmful thing and eliminate the harm for the villagers.

This Li Da Niu has set up many traps and traps inside and outside the village. I'm going to catch this harmful thing. I don't know if the trap worked, or if the villagers were careful not to act alone, and no one was missing.

When the villagers slowly relaxed their hearts, Li Daniu did not give up, and he began to look deep in the mountains. That day, he really found a clue. He found that one of the traps he had set up had been broken, the thumb-thick chain had been torn off, and the trap had been thrown aside. This is by no means something that the average beast can do. There were still some purple-black blood stains on the trap, and the thing seemed to be wounded, and there were some shallow traces leading to the depths of the mountain.

Da Niu finally found a clue, so he boldly followed the traces. I followed it for a long distance and entered the depths of the mountains. He never came so far on a hunting day, and he followed the trail to a gloomy valley. The valley was not large, and under the shade of the mountains on both sides, there was no sunlight all year round, and the ground was full of dead branches and rotten leaves. When the bull saw the trail and entered the valley, he thought that the thing was also wounded, so he took the hunting fork and went in.

As soon as he entered the valley, he heard a trembling noise in front of him, and he looked in by the glimmer of light. Almost frightened to death, he saw three human-looking creatures, but lying on the ground like wild beasts eating. If you look closely at what you eat, it turned out to be a rotting human corpse, and the corpse was crawling with maggots. He was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to sneak away. But accidentally, I stepped on a dead branch under my feet and made a "pop" sound. This immediately alarmed the three things, and the three things looked up at him. When he saw the three things, his eyes were blood-red and glowing.

The big bull was so frightened that he fled for his life and even threw away his hunting fork. After the big bull ran out of the valley, the three things did not chase them out, but for some reason, there was a sound of "hoo puff" from inside. Da Niu didn't dare to look back, just ran all the way forward and ran all the way home.

From that day on, he no longer dared to go deep into the mountains, and he only dared to hunt at the edge of the forest. No, the prey he gave me now was much worse than before. So I advise you to be careful not to put your life on the line for something. ”

After listening to this, Wukong even claimed that it was, and thanked the boss for the reminder. But in his heart, he thought, "Is this mountain ghost a goblin?" If I can study it, I wonder if it will help me in my practice. ”
