24. Chapter 24
Now that they have successfully built the foundation, they are going to continue on the road, pack up their things, and as soon as they walked out of the door, they saw Yuan Ye standing at the door, with one hand raised, as if he was about to knock on the door. After he respectfully called Uncle Zhuo Wenyan, seeing that Wen Xiaoruan looked very good, he knew that she had succeeded in building the foundation, so he stepped forward to congratulate, "Congratulations to the little junior sister for building the foundation." ”
"Thank you." Wen Xiaoruan was happy at this time, raised his head and smiled at Yuan Ye, "Let's continue on our way." ”
I saw that Yuan Ye's face was a little solemn, "I'm afraid we can't leave for the time being." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw a few people walking towards them in the corridor, led by a person who looked like he was wearing an official uniform, about forty years old, with two moustaches, and after standing in front of Wen Xiaoruan and them, the person who was the leader bowed respectfully to them, "I've seen a few immortals, please ask the immortals to take the lead in eradicating the demons for the people of Black Wind City!" ”
Since they landed directly at the door of the inn yesterday, many people know that there are a few immortal cultivators in the Black Wind City, in this world, although as long as there is a spiritual root, people can cultivate immortals, but because the spiritual energy is thin, there are very few who can successfully build a foundation, so seeing a master come here, everyone is very polite to them, and even the hotel does not charge their money.
Zhuo Wenyan invited a few people into the room, and after a few people were seated, Wen Xiaoruan poured tea for everyone, and stood beside Zhuo Wenyan obediently.
"I wonder what a few people are doing here?" Zhuo Wenyan took a sip of tea and asked.
Seeing that the person in the official uniform looked a little frightened, he said, "The junior official is a local county official, and he has come here to ask for the help of the immortals." ”
It turns out that Black Wind City has not been very peaceful lately. Since a few days ago, people have begun to die inexplicably, and the strange thing is that the brain marrow of the dead has been missing, and it seems to have been sucked away. At the beginning, when one or two people died, everyone didn't pay attention, but one after another made the whole city panic, everyone was in danger, it is said that someone saw with their own eyes at the scene of the murder there was a monster in the shape of a human, the monster was wearing a black tattered cloak, and it couldn't see the appearance clearly, but its outstretched hand was like a claw, it was not a normal person's hand at all, and the tongue grew violently, and disappeared again in a blink of an eye, so it became more and more rumored that there was a demon at work.
It was rare to see cultivators like them in this remote city, and it was not easy to see a few immortal cultivators with relatively high mana, and of course they hoped that they could stay and help them drive the monsters away.
After listening to the county official's story, Zhuo Wenyan thought for a while, and then said, "In this case, let's stay for another night, if there is really a monster to do evil, we will do our best to eradicate the scourge for everyone." ”
As soon as he said this, the county magistrate and a few people in his entourage seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and thanked them again and again before slowly leaving.
"Master, is there really a monster that eats human brains?" Wen Xiaoruan felt a little scary, she didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing as soon as she went out, she didn't even dare to kill fish before, eating human brains or something, it was terrible!
"According to how they describe it, it should be Aoin." Zhuo Wenyan patted Wen Xiaoruan's head soothingly.
"Oin?!" Yuan Ye was a little surprised, "Could it be that what Uncle Shi is talking about is the arrogant cause who is commonly known as knowing everything, but likes to eat people's brains?" Seeing that the other party nodded heavily, Yuan Ye stopped talking, and his brows were obviously furrowed together. Obviously, things are a bit of a big deal.
"Is that a powerful arrogance?" Wen Xiaoruan has only been reading for a few days, and he doesn't know what Ao Yin is, "Will it be more powerful than Master?" She was obviously a little worried, if the master couldn't clean it up, then wouldn't they be finished?
Seeing that Wen Xiaoruan's brows were furrowed together, and her little face was bitter like a bun, Yuan Ye pinched her face, "Although Ao Yin is powerful, it is still a piece of cake for Uncle Shi, Xiao Ruan doesn't have to worry." ”
Taking away the hand that was pinching his face, Wen Xiaoruan hurriedly hid behind Zhuo Wenyan, although this fifth senior brother was handsome, but her soul was a twenty-year-old adult, and she was not used to this attitude of others treating her as a child.
