Chapter 41, monsters also have wisdom
Meng Xing put away the silver calmly, and then asked the restaurant guy to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
After studying the ink and laying the Xuan on the table, Meng Xing picked up the brush, thought a little, and wrote.
It's still the nocturnal poem that is written, anyway, Liu Shiyun doesn't have any requirements, and Meng Xing doesn't bother to think about anything else.
Liu Shiyun stared at Meng Xing's pen seriously, looking thoughtful.
Soon, after writing the poem and putting down the pen, Meng Xing stretched his waist.
"Senior brother, the words you write are really charming, every stroke is exquisite, it is simply natural, as if it is finely crafted." Liu Shiyun praised.
Meng Xing said: "Senior sister praised it falsely. ”
"This font has never been written before, how did you come up with it?" Liu Shiyun asked curiously again.
"When I was a child, I met an old man who gave me a copybook, and I learned from it." Meng Xing said casually.
"Is that notebook still there?"
I knew you would ask. Meng Xing said: "Later, I accidentally burned the copybook. Fortunately, I have learned the calligraphy on this calligraphy, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make my sister's money today. ”
Liu Shiyun showed a look of pity on her face, this kind of calligraphy is simply a priceless treasure for readers.
This font has created a school of calligraphy, but there are very few people who can create this genre.
After chatting for a while and asking about the trick of this kind of calligraphy, Liu Shiyun reluctantly left.
Before leaving, Liu Shiyun smiled: "Senior brother, my one hundred taels are worth it, what I learned from you today, plus this calligraphy and painting, it is worth five hundred taels cheaply." Thank you! ”
Meng Xing regretted a little, he knew that he should have slaughtered her fiercely.
Seeing Meng Xing and Liu Shiyun talking like friends, everyone was envious.
Especially Gu Qingzhuo, who was so envious and jealous that he was about to overflow with jealousy.
A wood-splitting disciple with a lower cultivation than him actually won the favor of Senior Sister Liu, which was unimaginable to him.
After looking at the sky, it was almost dark, so everyone planned to stay here for one night and go to the county government tomorrow.
……
The next morning, everyone got up, had breakfast, and was about to go out.
But I saw Liu Shiyun holding a piece of rice paper full of words, walked over, and said to Meng Xing: "Senior brother, what do you think of my writing?" Like a thin gold body like you wrote? ”
Meng Xing read it carefully and said, "Senior Sister has already written a little charm, as long as she continues to practice, it will be almost the same as what I wrote." ”
"I feel like it's a lot worse, so I keep practicing. By the way, where are you going? Liu Shiyun said.
"Go to the county government to handle the case."
"Then you go." Liu Shiyun was not interested, and did not ask carefully, so she went back to her room.
Everyone left the Yuexian Restaurant, came to the county office, and saw Ding Haisheng.
"Senior brother!" Salute one by one.
"I'm sorry to trouble you junior brothers and sisters." Ding Haisheng said, "It's really a lack of good hands in this yamen, so I have to ask all the junior brothers and sisters to come and help." ”
In the county government, except for Ding Haisheng, who is a martial artist of the Eight-Rank Condensation Realm, and one or two Nine-Rank Open Pulse Realm catchers, the others are ordinary people.
"Senior brother, you're welcome. It's also a grind for us. Li Buxian said.
The True Martial Sect also stipulates that every three months, you must go down the mountain to practice, for three to five days, and you can't blindly stay in the sect master and work behind closed doors.
Behind closed doors, it will only limit one's own strength, and one's vision is too low, and it is easy to be self-righteous.
If you hone a lot, you will improve.
Gu Qingzhuo said: "Senior brother, where is the place where the case happened?" ”
"Liaojia Village, thirty miles west of Changning County. Two groups of hunters went up to the mountains to hunt, but they were all gone, no one returned home, and six or seven days had passed, so frightened that the villagers no longer dared to go up the mountains to hunt. Some villagers said that monsters had appeared on the mountain and had eaten them. Ding Hai said.
"How many people died?" Gu Qingzhuo asked.
"Two people in the first batch, three people in the second batch, a total of five people." Ding Hai said.
"Senior brother, did you find anything?" Li Buxian also asked.
"I took people to the mountains near Liaojia Village, and found that there were several white bones in two caves, which should be those hunters who were devoured by monsters." Ding Hai said.
When everyone heard this, they all had a creepy feeling, the monster ate people, and there were only a few white bones left, which was really terrifying.
"But I led people to search for three days, but they didn't find the monster. The terrain of that mountain is complicated, and the mountains are continuous, and it is very difficult to find monsters. The place we searched for was only a place that was relatively close to Liaojia Village. ”
"I've already introduced the situation, do you have any ideas?" Ding Hai said.
Everyone looked at each other, the case was very simple, it was nothing more than a monster eating people, but there was no clue what to think.
Gu Qingzhuo wanted to provoke the big beam, and he couldn't be pressed by Meng Xing, so he said: "Senior brother, let's go to the mountain to look for it again, as long as we find the monster, remove the monster." We have a lot of strength, and it's definitely easier to find than a few of you. ”
What you say is nonsense, or do you confuse everyone, without hitting the nail on the head. Meng Xing complained in his heart.
Ding Haisheng said: "Yes, but it may take more time to find it this way, the mountains there are too long, and the trees are dense, and it is easy to hide monsters." ”
Gu Qingzhuo scratched his head, and he didn't know what to say.
Everyone looked at Meng Xing.
"Senior brother, what is the purpose of monsters eating people?" Meng Xing asked.
Gu Qingzhuo said: "What is the purpose of monsters eating people? It's just that it's hungry, and when it sees humans, it wants to eat to fill its stomach. ”
"If that's the case, why doesn't it come down the mountain to eat the villagers, and only the hunters who come up the mountain?" Meng Xing asked.
Gu Qingzhuo's expression was stunned, and he said: "There are many people going down the mountain, and this monster is also wise, and he is afraid of being killed, so he doesn't dare to come down the mountain to eat people, and only eats the villagers who go up the mountain to hunt." ”
"Since this monster can eat a few hunters in a row, it is obviously very strong, and it is very easy to go down the mountain and drag a few villagers to eat. Even if there are many people under the mountain, they can't prevent the sneak attack of monsters, and they will definitely be eaten a few people. Meng Xing said.
Ding Haisheng's pupils flickered, and he said, "The monster didn't go down the mountain to eat people, but only ate the hunter, obviously because the hunter violated its territory." ”
Meng Xing said: "Yes, it is also possible that there are things on the mountain that it cares about, and some places have been zoned by it and no one else is allowed to enter." Once inside its territory, it will burst out and kill people. ”
Ding Haisheng nodded and said, "Senior Brother Meng, your analysis is reasonable. So, as long as we find this territory, we can find monsters. ”
"Yes." Meng Xingdao.
"Senior Brother Ding found that there were a few white bones in the two caves, so these two caves may be the territory of the monsters." Li Buxian said.
"Senior Brother Ding entered the cave and was not attacked by monsters, which means that it is not. Monsters also have wisdom, and they will also make these things to confuse people, especially monsters that have reached the psychic realm, and their wisdom is not much different from that of human children who are seven or eight years old. Meng Xing said.
Regarding the introduction of monsters, in addition to listening to Xiao Yuluo, Meng Xing also read a book of "Monster Chronicles" in the Library Pavilion, which introduced the various realms of monsters.
The monsters of the psychic realm met in the eight-rank condensation realm, but their strength may also be more powerful than the masters of the condensation realm, because most of the demon beasts have thick skin and rough flesh, strong strength, and some have scale armor and body protection.
"Let's go, let's go to Liaojia Village first." Ding Hai said.
