Although Li Qiu had given Nanyun Old Dao Qinghe Condensing True Technique the follow-up exercises before, and had been supplying the jade needed for cultivation, but Nanyun Old Dao had already consumed most of his lifespan, and his own qualifications were not very high, so he failed to break through the realm decades ago and had passed away.

He doesn't have any concerns in this world anymore.

[Detachment]!

Li Qiu's body gradually disappeared, turning into a bright rainbow light.

A giant pillar of rainbow light passed through the top of the hall and soared into the sky!

It is clearly visible within a thousand miles, and the people who see it are dumbfounded, thinking that they are immortals.

In the sixth year of the Great Wednesday, Zhou Tianzi, who had been invincible in the world for hundreds of years, turned into a rainbow and soared straight into the fairy world!

Zhou Tianzi's deeds before his ascension became all kinds of legends, which fascinated future generations.

......

Dali, Lintong County, Yangcheng.

The cold wind is like a knife, and it is cold to the bone.

On the eaves of the streets are large and small ice skates.

The bluestone paved road still has snow remnants.

There are many street stalls on the side of the road, and the hawkers are hunched by their necks, their hands in their sleeves, their teeth chattering, and their mouths spitting out clumps of hot air, shouting at passers-by.

Unfortunately, the weather is cold, and few pedestrians stop.

In a teahouse next to the road, it is completely different from the outside of the door.

In the lobby on the first floor, there are many tea customers wearing short shirts and cloth jackets, drinking hot tea one by one, with ruddy faces, looking at the platform in the middle of the lobby with interest.

"But he said that the wild boar demon, his eyes were blood-red, and from a distance he looked like two red lanterns hanging high, nearly a foot tall, covered with a mane, like a steel needle, and his fangs turned outward on his mouth, like a sharp knife, vicious and hideous, and terrifying......"

On the stage, behind a table, an old man is telling rumors and stories from nowhere, and the words are clearly delivered to everyone's ears, and his voice is subdued and frustrated.

On the east side of the second floor, there is a table full of melon seeds and snacks.

There was a man sitting, with a slender body, a handsome appearance, a face as sharp as a knife and an axe, and a sense of relaxation in his eyes, but there seemed to be a coldness hidden between his eyebrows.

"Childe, if you like to listen to the book that this old man Guo said, we might as well give him more money and invite him to the mansion, why brave the cold wind to come to this teahouse to listen. ”

The servant standing next to him suggested.

There was a burst of applause, and the book was more interesting to listen to. ”

The man who was wearing a splendid green robe, had an extraordinary temperament, and was obviously from a wealthy background, shook his head.

"You give him more money to invite him back to the house, and let him say to me alone, and he must not relax, for fear that he will not speak as well as he does now." ”

Someone passed by on the second floor and greeted the man in the green robe.

"I've seen Li Gongzi. ”

The green-robed man smiled and nodded in return.

Li Si looked at the old man Guo who was foaming at the audience and had an exaggerated expression, looked puzzled, and asked again.

"Childe, I've heard a lot of storytellers, this old man Guo said that except for a novelty, it can only be said that it is not bad, why do you just like to listen to him. ”

"I heard that what Old Man Guo said is not a previous repertoire or made up by him, but an adaptation of a true story he heard in various places with the caravan when he was young. ”

The blue-robed man laughed.

"That's what I heard. ”

At this time, in the lobby downstairs, Old Man Guo was talking about the fierce battle between the immortal who could spit out flying flames when he opened his mouth and the wild boar demon who was nearly a foot tall, and the corners of Li Si's mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Childe, do you believe this?"

The little one thinks that the prototype of this story should be just a hunter who killed a slightly larger wild boar with an arrow smeared with oil, and he added oil and vinegar to adapt it into this appearance. ”

"Are there any gods and monsters in the world?"

"Okay, let's not talk about it, just listen intently. ”

The blue-robed man smiled and waved his hand.

"Yes. ”

Li Si's expression was solemn, he nodded and stepped back, straightened up and stood aside.

Li Qiu looked at the old man Guo who was dancing in the lobby on the first floor, his eyes were slightly condensed.

This time out of the world, he was lucky, and he was reincarnated into a family surnamed Li, whose family was very wealthy, and he was one of the best in the entire Yangcheng, so he never worried about money.

The situation is much better than the first and second lives, but it is a little worse than the previous life.

The name and surname and gold and silver are all secondary, and the main thing is to cultivate the exercises.

In the previous life, he had been exposed to the way of refining qi early, but in this life, like the first and second lives, he had not been exposed to the cultivation system of this world for a long time.

There are also martial arts in this world, and there are martial arts masters in his family who hire and cultivate internal strength, and they can release their internal force into sword qi and sword qi, and from their mouths, they understand that the sword qi and sword qi of the strongest martial arts can even shoot a hundred zhang, which is enough to cut off the stream and split the house.

But that's still too weak.

He didn't believe that the real cultivation system in this world was such a weak internal force martial arts.

Since he was a child, he has never given up searching for some strange rumors about the theory of immortals and monsters, wanting to get a glimpse of the cultivation system of this world from them, but unfortunately he can't tell the truth from the false, and he doesn't get much useful information.

After hearing the rumors of Old Man Guo, he came to listen to the book a few times, and it didn't feel like it was made up.

For example, when Old Man Guo talked about the hideous body of the wild boar demon, his eyes unconsciously showed a little palpitation and fear, and the storyteller could actually scare himself, obviously either he had really seen the wild boar demon, or he really believed that there was such a terrifying existence as the wild boar demon in the world.

Syllable!

A three-inch square jujube red wake wood slapped on the table, making a loud sound, and suddenly the hall was silent.

"That's all for today's book, I know what will happen next, please listen to the next breakdown......"

Old man Guo's mouth was dry, and he finally said.

Someone in the audience stopped doing it, and coaxed the old man Guo to say another paragraph, but he was talking about the wonderful things but stopped abruptly, making people scratch their hearts like a hundred claws.

"Next time, next time, I'm really tired today. ”

Old man Guo arched his hand in all directions, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together to form a flower, and he replied with a smile.

Confirming that Old Man Guo was no longer talking, the applause and applause from the audience gradually rang out.

Old man Guo turned his head and stepped off the stage, and walked up to a woman holding a pipa, with a beautiful face, delicate facial features, and a posture like a weak willow supporting the wind, which was pitiful.

The applause and applause from the audience became louder, wave after wave.

Standing behind Li Qiu, Li Si, who had always been lacking interest, was also interested at this time, and his eyes lit up.

The woman sat down, holding the lute, and was about to start singing.

Li Qiu suddenly got up from his chair and turned to the side.

"Childe, where are you going?" Li Si looked puzzled.

"Go see Old Man Guo. ”

"Childe, I'm just about to start singing here......"

Li Qiu turned a deaf ear.

"Hey, Childe wait for me!"

Li Si could only reluctantly retract his gaze, shook his head and sighed, and quickly chased after him.

Backstage of the tea house.

Old man Guo took a few sips of herbal tea and was packing up his things and preparing to go home.

"Backstage of the teahouse, idlers are not allowed to enter. ”

Li Qiu stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and there was a big man in a short shirt inside, with an indifferent expression, and stretched out his hand to stop him.

Behind him, a touch of disdain flashed on Li Si's face, and he took out a dime of broken silver from his arms and threw it to the man.

"Childe, please please. ”

When the man got the money, he smiled and nodded his head to get out of the way.

The room was not big, Li Qiu glanced around, and his eyes quickly locked on Old Man Guo.

Li Si pulled a chair, wiped it and asked Li Qiu to sit down.

Old man Guo packed up his things and turned around and saw that there was one more person behind him, knowing that he should be looking for himself, and seeing how he was dressed, he knew that he was a rich and noble family, so he hurriedly smiled politely.

"This son, but is there something to do with the old decay?"

"I'm very interested in the fairies and monsters you talked about. Li Qiu's eyes were fixed.

"Those are what I heard from others when I was old and young and traveled with caravans to various places to do business. ”

"I've gone through some adaptations and additions, and I've told everyone about them, so that everyone can have fun. ”

Old man Guo said with a smile.

Li Si wanted to ask Old Man Guo in his heart, what is the proportion of this adaptation and adding branches and leaves, is it eighty percent or ninety?

But he kept his identity in mind, did not speak rashly, and stood aside honestly.

"You have traveled to so many places, have you ever seen gods and monsters with your own eyes?"

Old man Guo looked hesitant, as if he was hesitant whether to say the next words.

He felt that even if he said it, the boy in front of him probably wouldn't believe the "strange talk" from the mouth of a storyteller.

Old man Guo pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't help it, and said.

"I haven't seen the immortals, as for the monsters, ......"

"Decay...... The old man has seen a monster!"

"Monster?" Li Qiu's eyes moved: "What kind of monster." ”

Old man Guo's eyes gradually became a little hollow, as if he was caught in a memory, and after experiencing the events of that time, a trace of fear gradually appeared in his eyes.

"When I was young, I followed a caravan and passed through a forest, and in that woods I saw a monster with a tall body and brown fur, with a wide body like a bear, but a head like a wolf. ”

"The body is a bear, and the head is a wolf?"

"At that time, there were a lot of people in the caravan, and among them there were even masters of martial arts hired by the caravan, and that monster may have been afraid of these two points, or maybe it had just eaten a full meal, and after a few glances, he turned his head and left. ”

"I don't think I've ever heard you talk about this. ”

Li Si on the side was puzzled.

"There is no beginning and no tail, how do you say it?"

Old man Guo withdrew from the memory and shook his head.

"That youkai wasn't that scary in the story I was talking about, but it impressed me the most because I saw it with my own eyes!"

"It's also because of this that I've always believed that there are definitely monsters in the world, and the immortals who can subdue and kill monsters relative to monsters should also exist!"

Li Qiu's expression was deep, thoughtful, and waved his hand.

Li Si on the side took out a dime of silver from his arms, which weighed four or five taels, and handed it to Old Man Guo.

"Childe just asked some questions, but he couldn't get these money. ”

Old man Guo was a little shocked by Li Qiu's generosity, and hurriedly waved his hand.

Li Qiu said with a smile.

"Thank you for your answer, it helped me a lot. ”

"My son-in-law rewards you, and you take it. ”

Li Si handed the silver money forward again.

Old man Guo hesitated for a moment before reluctantly taking it.

"Childe believes what I say?"

"Of course. ”

Li Qiu could see that Old Man Guo's expression just now did not seem to be fake.

A hint of hesitation flashed on Old Man Guo's face.

"Lao Yu recently heard a piece of news, and he didn't dare to confirm whether it was true or not. ”

"But it's best for Childe not to go out of the city recently, and it's even better not to go out, so that the nursing home at home should be more vigilant. ”

Li Qiu, who was already about to leave, raised his eyebrows when he heard Old Man Guo's words.

"What are you wary of?"

Since he started talking, Old Man Guo no longer hesitated.

"I heard that several villages outside the city had suffered tragic accidents, and many people had died. ”

"The most important thing is that the deaths of those people are extremely miserable, as if they have been exposed to the sun for a whole month in the dog world, and their bodies have dried up. ”

"The old man thinks that this is not something that people can do, and most of it is monsters who kill people. ”

"Since the monster can harm people outside the city, it is not impossible for him to enter the city, so please be more careful. ”

Li Qiu frowned, stood up and said.

"I've made a note of this, thank you. ”

"Childe walks slowly. ”

Li Qiu and Li Si walked out of the teahouse and sat in the wide and warm carriage.

There was a charcoal stove in the middle of the carriage, and the precious red charcoal in the furnace burned slowly.

"Go home. Li Si shouted at the groom, and hurriedly lowered the thick cotton curtain to block the cold wind.

Seeing Li Qiu's thoughtful expression, Li Si couldn't help but whisper.

"Childe, are you still thinking about what Old Man Guo said?"

"Judging from the smallest, where are there any monsters with more than a foot tall, brown fur, and a bear body and a wolf head?"

"The bear's head is originally a little similar to a wolf, I'm afraid that Old Man Guo is afraid that he will be wrong.

It's just an ordinary brown bear with a bit of a size. ”

Seeing that Li Qiu did not answer, he continued.

"As for the monster outside the city, it may just be a rumor, and even Old Man Guo himself said it, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Li Qiu slowly raised his head.

"After you get home in a while, you go to the yamen to inquire if there is such a thing. ”

"If this matter is true, with our face, the specific situation may not be investigated, but it should not be difficult to know whether there are dead people and how many people died. ”

"Yes. ”
