When looking at it from afar, Jiang Xiaomiao felt that the village where he lived was still far away from the forbidden land, and the straight-line distance was so far away, let alone how long it would take to get there. Jiang Xiaomiao asked the Emperor of Heaven in confusion why he couldn't get closer and find a way.
The Emperor of Heaven Turning smiled bitterly and said, "You are so stupid, Ah Huang's ability was inherited from the fish demon, and on land it is a demon beast that can be hunted by ordinary monks at will. The possessions we bring with us also need a place to hide. Otherwise, if you are a mortal, Ah Huang, a useless demon beast on land, is easy to be served by others, and the things you bring will be cheap robbers. So I chose this place to go ashore and settle down. This is a pure mortal village, the aura is almost useless, and the cultivators are definitely not interested in coming here. This body of water is not connected to the rest of the world, so it is natural that our belongings can be safely stored. The next road is up to you, and Ah Huang and I won't take it lightly. ”
Hearing what the Emperor said, Jiang Xiaomiao felt helpless to be a mortal for the first time, but since she chose to accept Xue Jiaojiao's mantle, she would not be afraid of difficulties, so the family of three rested in the village for a few days, bought dry food and prepared to leave. She was going to take her family to the nearest Yemu City to the ancient battlefield, a city where cultivators and mortals lived together, and it was about a thousand miles away from this village.
Originally, Jiang Xiaomiao wanted to hire a demon beast car like an iron cow beast to go to Yemu City, but this village did not have such a means of transportation at all, and probably some prosperous town on the road could hire it. Jiang Xiaomiao inquired about Lu Trap and hired a car to leave the village where the treasure was hidden, Ah Huang deliberately left a little means here, after all, these things are everyone's future resources.
The mortal carriage was slow, and in the carriage, the family had nothing to do, so they talked about the future. He Xiuxiu was not surprised at all about Jiang Xiaomiao's cultivation, but as a mortal mother, she hoped to find her son and take her daughter to live a prosperous and healthy life.
Jiang Xiaohua's head is not bright, her biggest ideal in this life is to be well fed and clothed, have work to do every day, and save boredom. Jiang Xiaomiao realized at this time that the days when she had family affection were short, because she had already chosen the path of cultivation, and her life would get longer and longer, and one day, she would have to face the natural death of her mortal relatives.
Jiang Xiaomiao wanted to fulfill the wish of this otherworldly mother, so she said: "Mother, when I have cultivated my mana, we will go back to my hometown." I'll buy you a house, a village and an orchard, cattle and sheep, find my brother, let him take care of you, and then find a person for Sister Xiaohua to live. When I learn how to refine pills, I will definitely give my family a lot of pills, so that you can live a long life and live a life without illness or disaster. ”
He Xiuxiu heard her youngest daughter make such a solemn promise, and her heart was inexplicably stuffed, she felt the most sorry for this little daughter, if she hadn't been bent on pursuing the fairy way, her life with her eldest daughter in the past two years would not have been so colorful. As a mortal, she can be regarded as an eye-opener, but since then, she will be separated from her youngest daughter, and her life will be a lot less fun.
Because of this topic, Jiang Xiaomiao's mother and daughter were sad, and in the evening, the carriage stopped at a suburban post station, where they rested for the night, and in front of them was a local town, Congyang Town. There are a few Zongxiong carts parked in this post station, and the cart is actually pulled by a demon beast like a dog. It seems that the cart pulled by the demon beast will soon be hired, and the worst speed will be several times faster than that of an ordinary carriage, Jiang Xiaomiao now just wants to quickly go to the ancient battlefield to find a passage.
Ah Huang quietly went out at night and chatted with the demon beast pulling the cart for a while, and when he came back, he told Jiang Xiaomiao that something had happened to the town in front of him, and they couldn't enter the town for the time being, and the town was closed by cultivators, and it was said that there were monks from the Demon Sect who killed people and refined souls in the town.
Jiang Xiaomiao was very scared when he encountered such a thing for the first time, and the Emperor of the Heavens was also very worried about this, Jiang Xiaomiao's family were all mortals, in case there was any blind devil who came to trouble their family, he and Ah Huang would have a problem with whether they made a move or not. They really don't want to be exposed too early and influence their next steps.
During the day the next day, the journey had to stop, the entire post station was closed and no longer accepted new guests, and Jiang Xiaomiao's family stayed in the room to do some manual work. Jiang Xiaomiao slept during the day, and at night he got up and took the puppet with no spiritual power fluctuation to the front to inquire about the news.
The Emperor of the Heavens asked Jiang Xiaomiao to hold Amon in his arms and exude coercion, so that even if there were any blind demon beasts nearby, they would be afraid to dodge. Jiang Xiaomiao drove the puppet to the edge of the town, and saw a group of cultivators wearing the uniform clothes of the sect patrolling, as if they were chasing some demon.
Suddenly, the Emperor of the Heavens had a sense, and said to Jiang Xiaomiao: "Go to the east, there seems to be a large number of demon beasts gathering over there, let's take a look at the excitement on the side, what the demon beasts want to rob, it is probably also good for Amon." ”
Jiang Xiaomiao drove the puppet to the east, only to see a very shocking scene, the sky was densely packed with birds, and a humanoid thing was desperately trying to resist the birds that were constantly swooping and biting at him. The Emperor of the Heavens made Amon stop exuding coercion at this moment, he asked Jiang Xiaomiao to hide in his own shelter with the puppet, he had already seen that it was not a human, it was a monk who had really been demonized, and those birds were probably not good, they were probably some demon beasts and birds that had been controlled by demons. Jiang Xiaomiao is not suitable to appear at this time, and wait until the day to see if there are any good discoveries.
Jiang Xiaomiao woke up when it was dark, she slept during the day, and she couldn't sleep for a long time at night, she appeared in front of a clump of bamboo as soon as she shook her body, and accidentally stepped on something, to be exact, on a wing.
This is a young man with wings, in addition to the basic body shape of a person, it is covered in black feathers, one of the two wings has long been blurred in flesh and blood, and there are countless dead birds on the ground in the distance, Jiang Xiaomiao knows that kind of bird, which is a crow. But apparently the crows here were oversized, two or three times larger than the zoo eagles she had seen.
Jiang Xiaomiao looked at this crow with a human form with some surprise, and the crow man also looked at her in surprise, this person was obviously a mortal, why did he appear on this battlefield for no reason.
Jiang Xiaomiao didn't know what to do, she only introduced herself with a smile: "Hi, hello, I'm Jiang Xiaomiao, what do you call it, little brother birdman?" ”
