Chapter 257: Man-eating monsters

In fact, Tao Yunqing regretted it a little after giving the boat to Mo Yun on the sixth day

Because there is no means of flying, it is really difficult to get on the road alone

I don't know how many thousands of miles there is in the East China Sea, and he stops and stops all the way, and it is indeed too slow to rely on a pommel horse to lead the way

Volley flight, if there are clouds, it's okay, if there are no clouds and clear skies, it's really a sentence in the daytime, the sun is basking for a long time, this ignition attribute energy is naturally nothing, but it can't stand it all the time, it's mainly like a live fish soaking in warm water. It was a bad feeling

I don't know how many market towns I have passed along the way, but they are all small towns, and the big cities are very far away from them, and the world of immortal cultivators does not match them at all

Tao Yunqing was not in a hurry, so he led the horse, walked on the main road, and rushed to the nearest big city

But what he didn't expect was that his old yellow horse fell halfway, and Tao Yunqing found that it was very old when he bought it, but it was already very good to have a yellow horse in a small market town, which was better than a mule, but he didn't expect it to be a fart halfway, and he hadn't bought a mule yet

Tao Yunqing's eyes rolled, but she still dug a hole. Bury it

He found a big mulberry tree to rest under it, and waited for someone

Waiting for a mortal caravan, Tao Yunqing's divine sense had already noticed it, this caravan was not big, there were only a dozen people, there were men and women, old and young, and most importantly, they had cars

After waiting for a long time, the caravan arrived, and Tao Yunqing had already thought of a rhetoric and hitchhiked in the name of a scholar from Youfang

The caravan is dominated by a black-faced man, surnamed Zhang, about forty years old, who seems to be honest and honest, but honest people can't do business, he has been doing it for more than ten years, and it can be seen that he is not as honest as he seems

However, he still helped Tao Yunqing and promised to give him a cut and let him sit on the ox cart at the back of the caravan

The ox cart was full of dried tobacco, some spicy and spicy, Tao Yunqing didn't care, with the car, there was a child, about eight or nine years old, his black face was covered with dirt, he felt very novel when he saw Tao Yunqing, opened his mouth wide and smiled, revealing his notched teeth

Tao Yunqing also smiled at him, but most of the peasants' children didn't talk much, and he was too, but he was not afraid of life, just silent, Tao Yunqing took the initiative to chat with him briefly, and he could be regarded as knowing the general situation of this caravan

According to the child, there is no state control over the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, although most of the people here are simple, but the killing of people and goods can be seen everywhere

Therefore, although there are many caravans along the Yangtze River, few of them are long, and many of them have disappeared into the rivers of time

Although Lao Zhang's caravan is very small, it has been around for a long time, mainly because he is a person who pays attention to integrity, and he has always been a fool in business

Tao Yunqing followed them for a long time, and at this time, he was half-lying on the ox cart and his eyes suddenly narrowed

By noon the next day, new men had joined the caravan

There were two cultivators, a man and a woman, and the woman was also disguised as a man, and she was also dressed as two poor scholars

They were naturally arranged by Lao Zhang on the same ox cart as Tao Yunqing

"What a nuisance!" The man came and arched his hand with a smile and said hello to Tao Yunqing

But Tao Yunqing ignored him, and didn't want to reveal his identity as a monk, and suddenly the two monks joined the caravan, and Tao Yunqing was a little speechless

They must have had a purpose, or they would have been coming directly towards this caravan from miles away

Tao Yunqing glanced at them, then turned over and lay down again

"Hey, you-"

Such an action could anger the woman who was traveling with her, they were cultivators, and they were so disrespectful to mortals that they had to reprimand Tao Yunqing on the spot

But he was stopped by the male monk, and his divine sense said: "Don't make any extraneous branches, just a mortal poor scholar!" ”

But although he said this, he secretly gave Tao Yunqing a true qi, if it was an ordinary monk, he would have a sore back and weak legs for a while after receiving this qi, but if he was a mortal, it would be rheumatism and bone disease for a lifetime

This man is so ruthless, he has done such a cruel treatment to mortals

Seeing that Tao Yunqing ignored him, he asked the little boy again, smiled brightly, and took out two more candies for him

The little boy's name is Ah Hei, and he has no defense, so he naturally says everything, and he is happy to see the candy, but he doesn't dare to pick it up

"Take it, my uncle gave it, it's delicious!" The friar smiled brightly and seemed to be very fond of children

Ah Hei glanced at Tao Yunqing before taking the candy, but he was not in a hurry to eat them, but put them in his pocket

In the middle of the night, he woke Tao Yunqing up, smirked and stretched out his right hand, the palm of which was a candy

At a young age, he knew how to share, but he tiptoed and didn't want to alarm the two monks

He didn't know that the two monks were just pretending to be asleep

Tao Yunqing smiled and told him to let him eat it himself, he didn't eat it. Ah Hei was a little disappointed, and put the candy in his pocket again

"Why don't you eat it?" Tao Yunqing didn't care that the two monks were observing them with their divine senses

"I want to keep it for my sister at home!" Ah, Hei said

Tao Yunqing smiled and touched his head

Nothing happened overnight

The next day, the caravans began to enter the villages to trade goods, which they could exchange for money or for goods

But as soon as I entered the village, I felt a depressed atmosphere

The enthusiasm of the villagers is not high, it is not as lively as when they came before, and there are few onlookers

There are also very few villagers who come to exchange goods, which is unusual, usually at this time, the trading venue is crowded with people, even if they are not here to exchange, there are many people to see the excitement

"Eh, it's all monsters!" The old man of the village told the truth of the matter

"Youkai?" Zhang Ah was hidden

"The monster of Hantingkou!" The old man sighed and said, "That monster has been here for several years, and it usually makes waves all of a sudden, who knows how ...... three months."

"Since three months ago, this monster wanted a baby born less than 100 days old in a nearby village!"

"Evil, if the village does not provide for a limited time, it will burn the entire village, and several nearby villages will not listen to the order, and as a result, the entire village will be burned!"

"What a sin! The good living are burned to charcoal......"

"A baby less than 100 days old is offered every month, and in a small village like ours, with such a population, how can a child be born every month!"

"You say, can people like us go against youkai?"

"What are youkai ,......, doing with kids?" The female cultivator asked in confusion

Everyone was silent, what can monsters do when they catch children? Did you accept it as a righteous son?

The old man was not answered by her question, nor did he answer if he didn't, and sighed, tears were about to fall

"Is Hantingkou far from here?" Tao Yunqing asked

"Not far, more than eighty miles southwest is Hantingkou!" A man in the caravan spoke

Tao Yunqing swept with his divine sense, and quickly locked on to that position, he looked at it, and frowned slightly

It was the place where a great river swirled, winding and circling, and under the turbulent current, there were nine bottomless pools, each of which was like a huge bead lying in the deep valley

Nine stars in a row!

It has its own heavenly array breath, abundant aura, and good feng shui

But Tao Yunqing didn't see the big demon, not even the little demon

"If there is a big demon, it must be crouching in the deep pool!" Tao Yunqing thought to himself, but unfortunately his divine sense could not penetrate it after only ten zhang into the water

The flow of water, earth, rocks, and trees can all block the divine consciousness, and it is already extraordinary for Tao Yunqing to be able to penetrate the water ten zhang deep divine consciousness

He retracted his sense, and looked along the way, there were also monsters around, but there was no monster, the demon was a demon, the monster was a monster, and mortals were stupid to be confused, if it was just a demon, he didn't mind eradicating it, he was confident, with his current strength, an ordinary big demon was not his opponent

Demons, are living creatures to get the spirit of cultivation, like the lion in the mountains, tigers, the original wisdom is not low, one day, it suddenly had an epiphany, then the spirit, so the cultivation will become a demon, the practitioner is called 'enlightenment'!

Another way for the demon to open his mind is to devour the 'Emperor Slurry', which is the product of the combination of heaven and earth, yin and yang, and all things can be eaten by the spirit! Living creatures are demons when they get spirits through it, and those dead things like stone, wood, porcelain, etc., who get spirits through the emperor's slurry, are called monsters! This is the difference between a monster and a monster

And the demon is different from the monster, the growth of the demon is always through cultivation, while the growth of the monster is not necessarily

Tao Yunqing has never been worried about meeting demons, just afraid of encountering monsters of unknown origin! The reason why he was worried about the monster was because most of the demon cultivation was devouring the essence of the sun and the moon, and the monster might be an evil thing, devouring bad qi and evil qi or something, so only they would catch babies to eat

Of course, it is not necessarily, some things that cultivate evil spells may also devour souls that should not have grown yet, that is the purest soul, Tao Yunqing knows at least four spells that can improve mana through this soul

The demons found by Tao Yunqing have not yet transformed, and the powerful ones are a little more powerful than ordinary beasts, and the demons that can spit out words and make people worship babies are probably still in that river

Tao Yunqing has to go for a trip

was about to say goodbye to the caravan, but saw that the people of the whole village suddenly made a noise of gongs and drums, and everyone rushed to tell each other: "The immortal master is here, please come to the immortal master!" ”

"The immortal master is here, and he wants to eliminate demons and subdue demons for everyone! Deal with the youkai! ”

"The village chief has invited the immortal master!" The villagers spread ten, and ten spread hundreds

Soon, the news reached the caravan, and everyone was noisy, all discussing

"The immortal master is here, now we can be saved!" When the old man who spoke heard that the village chief had invited the immortal master, he was in tears for a while, and cried with joy, "The immortal master is here, and he will definitely be able to kill this god-damn monster!" ”

After that, he rolled up his sleeves and wiped the old tears from the corners of his eyes, and then rushed to the direction of their village ancestral hall, which was the only place worthy of receiving distinguished guests

The whole village, young and old, went to the ancestral hall

"Let's go check it out too," a man suggested
