"This is Yugou Village!"

Just as Li Xiang was about to leave, the woman finally came up with something he could understand.

"Great, big sister, I'm asking here...... The name of a larger place, such as a county, a prefecture, and so on. ”

Li Xiang asked as slowly as he could.

The woman shook her head, not knowing whether she didn't understand, or didn't know, or didn't want to speak.

In short, there was a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Helpless, Li Xiang could only walk towards the village.

Fortunately, the people in the mountain village are simple, and after some inquiry, I finally knew a key word: Jinhua.

In other words, this is the boundary of Zhejiang.

According to a man in the village, Yugou Village is about 100 miles away from Jinhua City.

With such information, Li Xiang couldn't help but think of a famous female ghost in Liaozhai: Nie Xiaoqian.

There are many stories, characters, and places involved in Liaozhai, and there are almost all over the country.

But when it comes to Jinhua, I'm afraid Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen are the most well-known.

Ning Caichen, a native of Zhejiang, once went to Jinhua and met Nie Xiaoqian in a deserted temple in the northern suburbs of Jinhua.

The name of this temple is not mentioned in the original book, but the movie version has changed one: Lanruo Temple.

Whether it is or not, since he has arrived near Jinhua, Li Xiang must go to find out......

This time he came to talk about the world, and his ultimate goal was only one: to improve the realm.

Otherwise, you'll have to be stuck here for the rest of your life.

Li Xiang has now entered the Dao realm, which is the last small realm of the first major realm of cultivating immortals, and one step further, it is the second major realm: refining qi and transforming gods!

Once it breaks through, it can be regarded as a take-off.

Once you break through to the realm of refining qi and transforming the gods, a golden pill will be condensed in the sea of qi, and at that time, you will be able to fly with your sword, wandering between heaven and earth, and become a half-immortal.

Therefore, for this crossing, Li Xiang is full of expectations.

He believes that the new world will inevitably have new opportunities and new harvests.

……

In the afternoon, Li Xiang entered a small county town.

There are still dozens of miles away from Jinhua, and it won't be long in terms of his footsteps.

However, the purpose of this trip was to cultivate, and Li Xiang was naturally not in a hurry to rush to see the flowers.

Another point is that he doesn't have much money left.

At the beginning, in order to impact the Dao realm, a lot of medicinal materials were purchased for alchemy. Now, he had less than three hundred taels of silver on him.

After entering the city, Li Xiang found that the city was deserted, there were few pedestrians on the streets, and most of the shops were closed.

It stands to reason that it's not too late now, what is the situation?

After walking for a while, Li Xiang found that there were two inns with closed doors, which made people even more puzzled.

Fortunately, there was an inn at the end of the street that was still open, and Li Xiang immediately walked in.

When I entered the door, I looked up and saw that the few small tables in the lobby were all empty, and there was not a single diner. There was not even a shopkeeper, only a shopkeeper sat at the table in a daze.

"Dude!"

"Alas, the guest officer stays in the hotel or eats?"

Although the tone of the shop Xiaoer also has a local mouth, the accent is not very strong, and he can barely understand it.

"Let's have some food and drinks, and then open an upper room."

"Well, all right."

The shopkeeper answered, trotted to the kitchen and brought out the wine and food.

"Man, what the hell is going on in this city? I saw that the streets were deserted, and many shops were closed. ”

As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper's face changed, and he subconsciously looked around, and said in a trembling voice: "No...... Nothing ......."

Nothing?

What's not scared like this?

Li Xiang faintly guessed that this is a chatting world, ghosts and monsters are everywhere, from small rural wilderness to large and prosperous capital, it seems that most of them are haunted and haunted, so this is the case.

So he took the initiative to ask, "Is there any monster or something like that in the city?" ”

The shopkeeper was about to cry: "Guest officer, can you not mention this......"

Looks like you guessed right.

Li Xiang smiled, raised his hand, and took out a tael of silver.

Although this silver was brought from the White Snake World, as long as it is not an official silver with engraved words, it will be fine, and it can be used casually.

As soon as he saw the silver, the man's eyes lit up, and he didn't seem to be so afraid.

Li Xiang put the silver on the table: "This is the wine money, you don't need to look for it, but you have to tell me what happened." ”

"Gollum ......"

The shopkeeper swallowed.

The money for change is enough to cover his salary for a month, and such a good thing is not very common.

So, I looked around again, and then I had the courage to whisper: "Guest officer, you just came from out of town, right?" ”

"Not bad!"

"No wonder...... To tell you the truth, we're here...... Cough, the demon, even the government was alarmed. ”

And so it was!

Li Xiang asked again: "You don't have to be afraid, sit down and talk slowly." ”

The man hesitated for a moment, then looked at the silver and strengthened his courage, and finally sat down.

"Actually, I don't know very well, and I've heard from people. It is said that it is...... It's a cat demon, and it's ...... Cannibalism...... The human heart ......"

Speaking of this, the guy couldn't help but shudder, and his hands subconsciously covered his chest, looking around nervously.

Li Xiang frowned: "Are you sure it's not a rumor?" ”

The guy hurriedly said, "Of course not...... Even the government put up notices telling the people in the city to close their homes early and not go out at night. By the way, a bounty ...... was also posted."

And the bounty?

Li Xiang was a little moved.

Although cultivators should regard money as dung, it is also necessary to distinguish between circumstances.

Li Xiang is not a disciple of the sect, not a disciple of the family, and there is no master to gnaw on...... Everything can only be done on your own.

Since cultivating in the human world, it is natural to avoid mundane things such as gold and silver.

Of course, Li Xiang is not all for the reward, since he has crossed into the world of Liaozhai, it is impossible to hide and retreat all day? In that case, it is better to accompany the white snake and Xiaoqing in the cave.

Subduing demons and eliminating demons is the duty of cultivators, and the reward is silver...... Just like the icing on the cake.

"Okay, I know, you take the silver first, and then go and clean up an upper room, and settle the bill later."

As soon as he heard this, the man was relieved, quickly thanked him, put away the money, and ran away.

After a while, the guy ran back and said with a flattering face: "Guest officer, the upper room has been cleaned up, and it is getting dark, the little one has to close the door of the store, why don't you help bring your wine and food to the room and drink slowly?" ”

"Okay, how much money is a night in the room?"

"One or two."

"Give!"

Li Xiang took out another tael of silver and threw it on the table.

"Thank you, guest!"

The man found a tray, helped carry the food and wine to the room, and brought a pot of hot water.

"Okay, guest officer, the little one will go down first, if you have any orders, just call upstairs."

"Well, you go get busy."

The next morning, Li Xiang came to the bulletin board near the county government to take a look, and really posted a few reward notices, to the effect that anyone who subdues the cat demon will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver.

There are also a number of other bounty orders, or general orders, etc.

More than a dozen people were surrounded by the bulletin board, talking one after another......
