Chapter Twenty-Five: The Fall of the Moon Town
With the space bag, the snake demon meat that was supposed to be discarded has a place to go.
It's like a monster eating the flesh and blood of a monk.
The monk's consumption of monster flesh and blood is also a great supplement.
Not only can it promote cultivation, but it can also increase the strength of the physical body.
Such a good thing, Hou Jiuming naturally would not throw it away.
It took more than an hour to put everything except the internal organs of the snake demon into a storage bag, and then looked around to make sure that there was nothing left, and then turned and ran towards the way it came.
This trip, although I didn't get the cheats and other exercises.
But the harvest is also very rich.
I believe that it is not a problem to digest these gains and cultivate them to enter the later stage of Qi training.
The road was hurried, except for digging up the medicinal herbs marked when passing by, almost all the way non-stop.
In such a hurry, it took less than three days to get out of the Falling Moon Mountain Range.
…………
The sunset is full of sky, spreading the entire Falling Moon Town.
Hou Jiuming greeted the glow and stepped into the town.
In the past, this was the time when the Orion Medicine Farmer returned from the mountain and the Falling Moon Town was prosperous.
But today is different.
There are few pedestrians on the streets, and even if there are, they are in a hurry.
Orion medicine farmers are also nowhere to be seen.
Everyone I met had an anxious look on their faces, as if they were worried about something.
"What happened in Falling Moon Town in the past few days when I was away?"
With doubts, Hou Jiuming quickly returned to the Four Seas Medicine Shop.
At this time, the pharmacy was closed.
Entering through the back door, the pillar was sitting in the courtyard, staring at the doorway in a daze.
After seeing Hou Jiuming, he immediately greeted him happily.
"Shopkeeper, you're finally back."
Closing the door casually, Hou Jiuming asked, "What's wrong, what's going on in the town?" ”
"Shopkeeper, there are dead people in the town, and they are still dead one by one!" The pillar whispered a little frightened.
"What?" Hou Jiuming frowned, "How did the death of the family die?" ”
"Is it that the whole family died from old age to young age?" The pillar repeated.
Hou Jiuming was speechless when he listened, "I'm asking you, were they killed, poisoned, or something else?" ”
"Oh~oh~" The pillar suddenly realized, "I don't know the specifics, but I heard that they were unharmed, but all the blood flowed close to them and died, it seems that they died from ghosts ......"
As he said the last two words, the pillar unconsciously lowered his voice.
"Goblins?"
"Yes!"
Hou Jiuming got the answer, casually sent the pillar to boil water, and then returned to the house and began to think.
For ghosts, Hou Jiuming is convinced, after all, he has experienced it himself.
But most of the people who encounter ghosts are in remote villages.
Where there are few people.
But now, Falling Moon Town, a town of hundreds of households, is also infested with ghosts.
"It's not normal!"
Putting away his thoughts, he was going to clean up and go out to inquire about the news and see what was going on.
After boiling water on the pillar, Hou Jiuming hurriedly washed up and went out neatly dressed.
If you inquire about the news, you will naturally go to a place with a lot of people.
Although the atmosphere in the town is eerie now.
However, some places with a large flow of people in the restaurant are still open for business.
Hou Jiuming walked along the main street and entered a restaurant with the most customers.
After ordering a rich restaurant, I began to pay attention to the gossip of the people around me.
"How did the bonus taste of Chunfeng Tower last night......
After only listening to the beginning, Hou Jiuming smiled and diverted his attention.
"Qian Fu is dead, have you found any clues?"
"Check the fart, just those group of wine bags and rice bags, if we can find out, do we still need to be so scared?"
"Hey, it seems that we have to plan ahead!"
"Yes, if it's an ordinary vendetta, the most you can do is hire some guards, but now, it's obviously a ghost."
"I heard that it has been reported to Solid Stone City, and a warrior will be sent over there, but I don't know if it can be solved?"
"Don't think about it, Solid Stone City can't draw people at all right now!"
"Why?"
"You think it's only us who have an accident in Falling Moon Town?"
"Isn't it?"
"What is it, now, almost all the towns under the jurisdiction of Jianshi City are making trouble, and our Luoyue Town is still good, and only six have died so far,
In other towns, I've heard, whole towns have been killed. ”
"Hiss~"
"Hiss~"
The people in the restaurant seem to be eating, drinking, and chatting, but in fact, they are all in the heart of inquiring about the news.
Now when I heard this, I immediately heard the sound of gasping.
"What's going on, why are there so many ghosts, the court doesn't care?"
"What does the imperial court do? The border of the Chen soldiers of the Qianyu Kingdom may come at any time, and the imperial court can't deal with the Qianyu Kingdom, so what will it do about the haunted little things that happened in Jianshi City? ”
"Hey, is this going to war?"
"Hey, troubled times are coming!"
Hou Jiuming ate his meal, paying attention to the chatter of the people in the restaurant, and thinking in his heart.
Chen Bing of Qianyu Country, shaking Yue Country to prepare for war.
Solid Stone City is in turmoil.
First, the relief food was robbed, and then there were ghosts who took the opportunity to cause chaos.
"How do you look at this, how is there a sign of impending chaos?"
Behind the Shaking Yue Kingdom is the Wang family of the Immortal Cultivation Family, and there will generally be no ghosts and monsters to make trouble, and even if there is, it will be quickly eliminated.
Now, with so many ghosts and ghosts in the vicinity of a city, it's not easy to look at.
"Forget it, it's none of my business, I don't have to worry about it, now that the resources are abundant, it's better to improve the strength first, as long as you have the strength, even if you are chaotic, you can sit firmly on the ability of the fishing boat!"
…………
After returning from the restaurant, Hou Jiuming entered a state of retreat.
The medicine store is still taken care of by the pillars, and the medicinal materials purchased are kept by themselves.
It is commonly used to store it for purchase by merchants from other cities.
I don't know if it's the reason for the tension between the Qianyu Kingdom and the Shaoyue Kingdom.
The price of medicinal herbs has risen sharply.
Hou Jiuming stored the medicinal materials for more than two months, not only recovering the cost of opening the store, but also making a lot of money.
With sufficient money, Hou Jiuming began to concentrate on cultivation, and the Wuling Pill was taken while making it.
Cultivation is also the same every day.
In less than half a month, he broke through the third-layer barrier and entered the fourth-layer, mid-stage qi training.
Not only that, but with the dual assistance of a large number of Wuling pills and snake meat, Crouching Tiger's strength also quickly rose to the peak of the day after tomorrow.
Innate, close at hand!
And the Blood Jade Fruit Tree that had been moved back from the Falling Moon Mountain Range was also revitalized.
Judging by the aroma and the smoky color, it is not far from ripening.
I believe that when it matures, Xiuwei will make another leap forward.
In addition, in the past half a month, there has been another homicide in Falling Moon Town.
The same is the death of a family.
However, what is more strange is that from the beginning to the present, all the people who have died are rich families, and not a single poor person has died.
Not sure what this is.
The people in the town guessed.
The poor are too poor, and they are angry, and ghosts generally don't want to provoke them.
After all, the poor are left with their lives, what the hell are you afraid of?
