After bidding farewell to Zhang Long and Bai Xuan, Wu Xie took the new medicine box back to his small building and brought some useful things with him.

He had never caught a monster before, and he didn't know what trouble he might encounter, so he also went to the library and asked Sanyunzi to borrow a popular science book written by a senior who was good at catching monsters.

"The Tang Monster Illustrated Book" is the name of the book.

Although the Tang Dynasty, which once ruled the entire south, has long since disappeared in the long river of time, those long-lived monsters still exist in the world like ancient monuments everywhere, and some are still very active - for example, Qingyangguan is said to have a monster elder, who broke into the world before the Tang Dynasty was established.

The cultivation of monsters is much more difficult than that of the human race, and the entry into the realm is outrageously slow. However, the longevity of the monsters is also much stronger than that of the human race, even if the mayflies that die in the twilight of life, once they become monsters, they will immediately awaken the ancient bloodline, and have the longevity that makes the human monks envious and jealous. As for those monsters that were originally long-lived species, it is possible to even live for tens of thousands of years!

And what about the Terrans? Even if you practice longevity exercises such as Aoki Longevity Technique, if you can't ascend, you will live for about 2,000 years if you reach the sky.

So even though many years have passed, this monster illustrated book still has a considerable reference value, and can even be directly used as a guide book for catching monsters.

"Youkai are strange creatures, and if you don't know their true form, mortals can only be afraid, and monks will be very distressed. But if you can understand the abilities of youkai and take countermeasures accordingly, you will be able to avoid dangerous situations as much as possible, so that even if you can't become an expert in catching monsters and subduing demons, at least you don't have to live in fear. ”

The senior with the name "Shirata" said this on the title page.

Looking at this paragraph, Wu Xie was a little moved.

However, the annotation written by the latecomer in the following paragraph is a bit ruinous, and the unnamed senior said, "Monsters or something, just negotiate strongly, and force is indispensable when necessary." As for knowledge, it's enough to understand the opponent's attack method, and the rest can be overcome with hard work and fighting spirit! Well, that's it! ”

Wu Xie has no intention of criticizing the very different views of these two predecessors, and now for him, the first thing he needs to do is to learn.

Considering that there might be a battle when catching demons, and he might not have time to evacuate the residents near the battlefield, he specially ran to the lecture hall and applied to Yi Yunzi, who was presiding over the lecture hall, hoping to send an outer disciple to assist.

The so-called outer disciples are those who insisted on climbing the mountain and refused to give up until the end of the selection, although they failed to climb the mountain in time in the original selection.

They have never given up their dream of seeking immortals, and the immortal gate will not give up on them.

Therefore, the Immortal Sect provided them with stable living conditions, taught them basic cultivation methods, and also gave them the status of disciples.

As long as they can rely on these basic methods to cultivate to the realm of initiation, they can also become introductory disciples and enjoy the same treatment.

According to past experience, these outer disciples will continue to cultivate and succeed in the next ten years. Then Yi Yunzi will step down, and when the next batch of outer disciples arrives, there will naturally be the next lecturer in charge.

Qingyangguan is like a careful gardener, carefully taking care of those congenitally deficient saplings, so that they can grow, even if they can't eventually grow into big trees, at least as tall as possible.

When Wu Xie came to visit, it was just the end of the morning lecture. When he explained his intentions, Yi Yunzi did not directly assign anyone, but asked the outer disciples to sign up by themselves.

Out of the devil to help catch demons?

The six outer disciples, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little hesitant.

This month's cultivation had indeed greatly improved their physique, but compared to Wu Jie, an authentic immortal, there was still a big gap. No matter how you look at it, the matter of catching demons is a bit dangerous, and it will delay the time for cultivation......

After a while, a teenager of medium stature stepped forward.

"You can't let those monsters harm the people! I'll go with my brother! ”

"His name is Hai Dongjian, and he is the fourth in the family, so people who have a good relationship call him Haisi." Yi Yunzi said, "He is a person with a great sense of justice, but his personality is a little ...... Simple、Like to think cranky。 ”

So Wu Xie understood this, this is the legendary middle two!

On the way out of the mountain, Hai Dongjian introduced himself endlessly, adding many adjectives that seemed to him to be meaningful and important in his discourse. He himself was elated, but Wu Xie felt that if he managed to record these words now, he would show them to him in a few decades......

Uh, it's going to kill someone, it's definitely going to kill someone! At that time, Hai Si will definitely wield a knife to hack Wu Xie to death, or hack himself to death.

When they came to the foot of the mountain, they happened to meet Shogishi. The shore is surrounded by a cold breath that makes it difficult to approach.

"Recently, I have been refining my Gang Qi, and I haven't been able to completely contain it for the time being." Shogishi explained with a smile and asked them what they were going to do.

"Go out to hunt demons?" Jiang An nodded slightly, then looked Wu Xie up and down, and asked, "You just went out to hunt demons?" ”

"I've got a lot of things ready: weapons, magic weapons, robes, talismans, storage boxes...... Is there anything missing? Wu Xie was a little puzzled.

Shogishi sighed and pointed to his left eye.

"If you swagger through the world with such an eye open, the result will only be that you yourself will be treated as a monster!"

Wu Xie suddenly realized that he now had a wonderful fire eye.

"What's the matter with these eyes?" Shogishi asked, "Is it okay?" ”

"When I entered the Dao, the true fire in my body accumulated too much, and I thought it was a pity to scatter it at the time, but as a result, when I thought about it, they all gathered, and I don't know how all the Dao was gathered in my eyes." Wu Xie said helplessly, "I'm also surprised!" ”

"There's nothing wrong with this, it's very common for our immortal cultivators to have abnormal appearances, and I've seen guys with half of their bodies covered in water." Jiang An comforted him casually, and then took out a piece of black crystal, "I'll make you a crystal eye patch, although it looks a little strange, but you have to cover the fire eye." ”

Wu Xie thought about it, drew a schematic diagram of wide-brimmed sunglasses on the ground, and asked him if he could make it look like this.

"Yes, of course, but why do you have to cover your eyes?"

"Because it's more beautiful."

A few minutes later, Wu Xie and Hai Si both put on sunglasses that might have been the first to appear in this world and left the Immortal Mountain.

"This stuff is so good! Even if you look at the sun when you wear it, you won't feel dazzling! Walking in the bright sunshine of June, Hai Si said happily, "Senior brother is worthy of being a senior brother, and the designed things are really easy to use!" ”

Wu Xie nodded, and secretly wondered if he should ask the tailor to make two sets of black suits, two white shirts, and two pairs of white gloves when he arrived in the county seat.

When they wait to catch demons like this, they will be the SWAT officers who ran out of the European and American blockbuster "Men in Black"!

Anyway, no one in this world knows the origin of this costume, and there is no need to be afraid of being made fun of, let alone worrying about being photographed when walking on the street.

He thought as he walked, and suddenly woke up - how could he think of such a second-year thing? Could it be that he was infected by Hai Si?

Looking at Haisi, who was still elated and full of ambition, he vaguely felt that maybe the second middle school disease would really be contagious......

In the evening of that day, they came to Wu'an County and rented a carriage to go to Xin'an.

In the carriage, Wu Xie pretended to just think about it by chance, and casually asked the coachman if he had any special news recently.

"If you want to talk about special news, there are two recently." The coachman said, "The first is that about a month ago, someone saw the fairy crossing the river on the edge of the Dachi River, with an elegant and chic posture, and it was really a fairy bearing!" ”

Wu Xie recalled it, and felt that he was in a hurry and ran wildly, which really had nothing to do with elegance and chic.

"Another thing is that Xin'an County seems to be making monsters."

"Huh? Haunting monsters? Wu Xie pretended to be very interested and asked, "What kind of monster?" Aren't you afraid? ”

"I'm not sure exactly what kind of monster it is, but maybe it's a cat or something...... They stole a lot of money from nowhere, bought all the fish caught by the fishermen, and then seemed to pile them all up in an empty house - now the whole Xin'an county is full of fishy smell, which is really unbearable! ”

"Huh? Aren't they harmful? Haisi's eyes widened in surprise, but fortunately he couldn't see it even with sunglasses.

"Why didn't it hurt anyone! The city smells of fish! And they don't eat fish offal, they are all piled up in the yard, and there is a stench...... It's true! When you smell that smell, you know if they are harmful! ”

The coachman looked very indignant, but Wu Xie secretly smiled.

Since it's not a man-eating monster, and you know how to buy fish with money, you must have something to discuss.

He believes that there are no monsters in the world who don't want to become immortals, and as long as the other party learns that he can go to the immortal mountain to practice, he will happily give up making trouble in the world!

They stayed overnight all the way, and they had to avoid the time when the midday sun was at its strongest, so they didn't walk fast. But even so, after a few days, I arrived in Xin'an County.

Xin'an County is the first county seat established on the border of Kyushu after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the name "Xin'an" comes from this.

According to legend, in order to establish this county seat, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and the wild beasts fought a fierce battle, and the humans and beasts were killed and injured countless times. Coupled with the hot climate here, the smell of decomposing corpses lingered in the air for months.

Wu Xie had never experienced what happened at the beginning, and he didn't know what the scene was at that time, but he felt that at least in terms of smell, he could already imagine the situation at that time.

As the driver said, the whole of Xin'an County is shrouded in a rotten stench that makes people vomit even overnight!

In fact, Hai Si was already vomiting.

Last night they ate a few snakes caught on the side of the road, and the smell of roasted snake meat was quite delicious. But now when I smell the slippery fishy smell, I suddenly feel that the snake meat that has been digested a long time ago is rolling in the stomach again, as if the snake is not dead and swimming in the stomach.

Wu Xie didn't express his feelings, because he was worried that if he said it, maybe Hai Si would be able to vomit out all his guts.

After receiving the payment, the coachman hurriedly drove away in the carriage, not wanting to stay longer for even a second. It took Wu Xie and Haisi almost half an hour to recover their breath, and reluctantly walked towards the county seat.

Their target was the source of this deadly stench, an empty house on the edge of the city walls.
