"Girl, don't be polite to me, since you're here, you don't have to meet us."

It's a pity that the thin monkey didn't feel Shuxuan's inner thoughts, and still said it there.

"Okay, thin monkey, the strength of this fellow Daoist is not weaker than yours, but he doesn't need your protection, if there is really a strange beast attacking, you better protect yourself first!"

Seeing that the thin monkey still had the intention of continuing, the old man hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt him, and said to Shuxuan, "Fellow Daoist, my residence is in front, you come with me!" ”

"Hmm."

Shuxuan nodded lightly in response.

"Huh? Old man Wu brought back this little girl this time, it is not bad, although the person is a little colder, but it is better than the person who knows how to be coquettish all day long, and deceives people to get all kinds of things for her, so I will go to them and tell them that there is another beautiful little girl here, lest they be courteous to that pretentious woman every day. ”

After Shuxuan followed the old man, the thin monkey talked to himself for a while, then jumped off the roof and ran directly towards a place with lights on.

…

"Fellow Daoist, you sit down first!"

The old man took Shuxuan to the room where he lived, and beckoned her to sit down.

"Old man, don't call me there, I'm not used to hearing it, my name is Liu Shuxuan, just call me by my name."

Shuxuan heard the old man's words, sat down and said.

"Okay, then I'll call you Shuxuan in the future! Don't call me an old man, my surname is Wu, my name is Wu Shi'an, everyone here calls me Old Man Wu, you can also call me like that. ”

Wu Shi'an listened to Shuxuan's words and said casually.

"How embarrassing is that! Seeing that you are older than me, I will call you Uncle Wu in the future! ”

Shu Xuan frowned when she heard Wu Shi'an's words, although she was not very familiar with this old man, but it was too rude to call the old man Wu like this, so Shu Xuan thought for a while and said.

"That's fine. It's just a title, since Shuxuan you said so, then I will be cheeky to answer your uncle! ”

Wu Shi'an said that he took out some simple food with his hand, put it on the table and said to Shu Xuan, "It's not too early, Shu Xuan should be hungry too, it's better to eat something first, for what you want to know, let's talk while eating." ”

"Uncle Wu, do you usually eat these?"

Shu Xuan saw the yellowed rice on the table, as well as a bowl of green vegetables that couldn't be seen, and a black meat that I didn't know what kind of meat it was, and looked at Wu Shi'an in confusion and asked.

"Shuxuan, I'm really sorry! Now I don't have anything to entertain you here, just a little coarse tea and light rice, and you will eat some! ”

Hearing Shu Xuan's question, Wu Shi'an rubbed his hands crampedly and said.

"Uncle Wu, don't get me wrong! I don't mean to dislike it, it's just that I didn't expect you, as an immortal cultivator, to eat like this, uh......"

Seeing Wu Shi'an's reaction, Shu Xuan knew that he should have misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly explained, but Shu Xuan was also a little embarrassed when it came to the back, people took out their own food to entertain you, although these things are a little worse, but it is a little unreasonable for you to dislike other people's things like this.

"Shuxuan, let's be honest, these are already the best food I can get for the old man."

Wu Shi'an listened to Shu Xuan's words, let out a long sigh, and said to Shu Xuan.

"How can this be? Uncle Wu, you can be regarded as an immortal cultivator no matter what, even if you can't get good ingredients, it's still okay to get some simple food, how can you ...... it?"

Hearing Wu Shi'an's words, Shu Xuan couldn't help but raise her voice in surprise.

"I don't think you're in the mood to eat right now, are you? In that case, let me tell you about the situation here! ”

Wu Shi'an looked at Shuxuan's appearance, then put down his chopsticks and said to Shuxuan.

"Originally, the black city was not as prosperous as the other two cities, and the temper of the city lord was a little weirder, but those of us who cultivated under the cultivation could still survive, but just a few months ago, the spirit beasts outside the city didn't know what the reason, as if they were crazy, they came out to attack the crowd at night, and at the beginning, there were many villages that were directly destroyed by those spirit beasts because they were defenseless."

When Wu Shi'an said this, he didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Seeing Wu Shi'an like this, Shuxuan was embarrassed to urge, so he could only wait for him to come back to his senses.

"I remembered some things from the past just now, and I didn't hold back for a while, so that Shuxuan you can laugh."

After a while, Wu Shi'an came back to his senses and saw Shu Xuan looking at him, hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears in his eyes in a panic, and said to Shu Xuan embarrassedly.

"It's okay, Uncle Wu is really temperamental, how can anyone laugh at it!"

Shu Xuan shook her head with a smile and said.

"Okay, I'll tell you about it! At that time, because the whole village was killed, so the news did not come out, and finally because someone made an appointment with someone from the neighboring village to go hunting in the mountains together, but after waiting for a long time, he did not wait for his companion, and found that the whole village of his companion had been destroyed. ”

"As soon as the news spread, it caused a lot of sensation at the time, and the city sent a lot of people to investigate the matter, but in the end, instead of finding out who was behind the matter, it was discovered that many surrounding villages had suffered the same thing."

"In this way, the people who came to investigate these things all sensed that something was wrong, but when they were about to go back to report the news, they were attacked by the strange beast, and the entire team was almost wiped out, only the captain went back, and the news of the strange beast also spread."

"After the city lord learned about this, he sent several guards to investigate and eliminate these strange beasts that would attack people, but these strange beasts did not appear when the guards were dispatched a lot, and when there were fewer people, they came out and killed the guards directly."

"At that time, after the people outside the city got the news, they all wanted to squeeze into the city, but the black city is so big, where can all the people in so many villages around squeeze in? In the end, the city lord came up with a solution, saying that since the spirit beasts had mutated and would attack humans, as long as someone could kill a sufficient number of spirit beasts, they could go into the city to rest for a few days. After all, now that this strange beast is raging, the guards in the city alone can't kill it cleanly, and now let everyone kill the strange beast in exchange for the opportunity to enter the city to rest, which can also be said to be a reward for these people, and it can also give those who can really eliminate harm for the people a chance to rest. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Shi'an stopped, Shu Xuan carefully sorted out the news he had just learned in his mind, and asked Wu Shi'an again, "Uncle Wu, these strange beasts should have lived outside this city for many years, why did they suddenly attack humans?" Have any of you found out what the reason is? ”

"No one knows this, although many people are investigating the reason for this matter, but no one can find out after a long time, and at this time, everyone is upset by the attack of the strange beast, so now everyone is focused on killing the strange beast, just hoping to get enough beast stones as soon as possible, so as to exchange for the opportunity to enter the city to rest."

"Then how can you city lords tell who has killed strange beasts or not? Is it because of the strange stone that you gave to this guard when you entered the city? ”

Shu Xuan looked at Wu Shi'an and asked the question in his heart.

"Hmmm! That kind of stone can only be found in the body of a foreign beast, so the city lord is not afraid of someone deceiving him when he does this. ”

Wu Shi'an nodded and said.

"But Uncle Wu, this stone is just a dead thing, if someone kills a strange beast and gets the beast stone, and someone else takes advantage of his unpreparedness to kill him and snatch the beast stone, how can this be distinguished?"

Shuxuan listened to Wu Shi'an's words, thought for a while and asked.

"There's no way around it, after all, there's no better way to prove it."

Wu Shi'an said helplessly.

"But Uncle Wu, there is one thing I don't understand, that is, since these strange beasts are so powerful, why don't you unite and resist these strange beasts together? It stands to reason that if so many of you cultivators join forces, it is impossible that you will not have the ability to resist! ”

Shuxuan asked strangely.

"It's not something that no one has thought of, but it's useless. This strange beast has a very sensitive sense of smell, they usually come out to attack humans in a scattered manner, but whenever a large number of people gather, they will go out collectively, and no one knows how many of these things there are, so no one dares to gather too many people together for a long time. ”

Wu Shi'an sighed helplessly and said.

"This? Isn't there a way to deal with these strange beasts? ”

Shuxuan asked with a frown.

"Now no one has a way, they can only unite some people to establish some gathering places outside the city, arrange some simple formations, to resist the attack of foreign beasts, and then we will go out to kill these strange beasts during the day, hoping to get enough beast stones, so that we can exchange for a chance to enter the city, and we can take a little rest."

Wu Shi'an said helplessly, he doesn't know when such a desperate life will end, maybe he won't have to worry about it anymore when he dies!

"But there are so many strange beasts, when did you kill them like this? Haven't you ever thought about leaving here and living in another city? ”

Shu Xuan was a little puzzled by everyone's behavior.

"Where can I go? Wouldn't there be strange beasts in other cities? Even if they don't, who knows where these beasts will be found? If you encounter a strange beast on the way to another city, I'm afraid you'll die faster if you're alone! ”

"But so many of you can go together! Why go alone? ”

Shu Xuan felt very strange, since there was a sneak attack by a strange beast here, why did it have to be here? Wouldn't it be good to leave here and go to another city?

"Hey! To put it simply, the people who are still here are either unwilling to leave their hometown because they are old, or because they have relatives who died in this attack of the alien beast, and they are all holding back their strength and want to kill the alien beast in order to avenge their relatives! How can you easily say leave! ”

Wu Shi'an sighed and said.

"That's right!"

Shuxuan listened to Wu Shi'an's words and suddenly realized that there was no way for this person to leave his hometown.

"Forget it, I can't control the attack of this strange beast, you can't let me kill all these strange beasts, right? Who knows how many beasts it will have? It's better to wait until dawn tomorrow to go out to kill the strange beasts, and try to get enough beast stones as soon as possible, so that you can go into the city to find out the news. ”

Shuxuan thought about Xiaobai, who was still waiting for her outside, and decided not to meddle in anything.

"Shuxuan, let's not talk about this, while it's still early, let's eat something first! After a while, you have to go out to keep vigil at night, and there may be strange beasts attacking here at any time, so since you want to live here, you naturally need to keep vigil too. ”

"Uncle Wu, I'm already very grateful to you for bringing me to this gathering place, where can I eat your food? I also brought a lot of food with me when I went out this time, so let's eat the food I brought this time! You'd better keep these things for now! ”

Shuxuan looked at the food on the table that she didn't know how to describe, and still didn't have the courage to put down the chopsticks, so she quickly took out the food in her space, fortunately, because she raised Xiaobai such a big foodie, Shuxuan's space was ready to eat at any time, and there were quite a few of them, otherwise I really don't know what to do now, so I can't take out the materials to make it! People have already told you that time is very tight now, and you are still wasting time here, isn't this pulling hatred?

"Shuxuan, this can't be helped, since the appearance of those strange beasts in the current Black City, a lot of food has become inedible, and now the price of food has risen, you should keep these things for yourself! It's a waste to give me this old man to eat. ”

Wu Shi'an was stunned as soon as he saw the various well-cooked dishes that Shu Xuan took out, as well as the exquisite dim sum, and then looked at his cold food, and quickly pulled the food he took out to his side, waved his hand at Shu Xuan and said.

"Uncle Wu, look at what you are talking about, I call you uncle, you are my elder, what's wrong with eating a little bit of me? Besides, you brought me here from the gates of the Black City, and told me so many things that need attention, I just took a little food out, how can it be so serious as you say! And when this food is ready, it is for people to eat, where is there anything that is not wasted! If you really don't eat it, I won't be able to eat all the stuff by then, and then the rest will have to be thrown away, which is really a waste! ”

Shuxuan knew that Wu Shi'an was an upright person, and he no longer persuaded him directly, but directly put on an expression that if you don't eat, I will pour the rest directly, Shuxuan believes that he will be reluctant, so he will eat without persuading.

"Old man Wu, I heard the thin monkey say that you kidnapped a delicate little girl outside, why did you hide people as soon as you came back, you are not righteous to do this..."

As soon as Shu Xuan finished speaking, Wu Shi'an didn't have time to speak, when he suddenly heard a man's voice outside.
