Chapter Seventy-Six: Shangyuan

The reason why Xiao Daogu said this is because in the dozens of nearby cities, there has been no case of corpse mutilation in these cities.

So she speculated that the Paint Skin Essence might pick a city that hadn't happened before.

I will not choose to continue to do things in cities where cases have already occurred, to continue to stir up the anger of local ruling forces.

Because if there are too many cases of corpse mutilation in the same city, it will not be solved.

It might drive the magistrate crazy!

It's like a cultivator who doesn't want to provoke the 'ideology' of the 'imperial court'.

The goblins don't want to provoke either.

They just want to silently eat people's hearts to keep human skin alive, and then live in a human city like an ordinary person.

And the presumption of committing the crime again within two months.

It's because a painted skin essence will need to eat one a year!

And not all of them will commit crimes in the city!

There are also some painted skin spirits who will go out of the city to hunt those bandits in the cottage in the mountains.

However, this operation is actually relatively cumbersome.

Because the bandits are often numerous, and many of them are extraordinary martial arts masters.

It's actually relatively troublesome to kill.

It may take more mana to kill!

And it's also quite troublesome to rush to the mountains.

Just casting mana to rush is a waste of mana!

In short, the cost will be relatively large.

Therefore, most of the painted skin spirits in the human city will directly commit crimes in the city!

And its cannibalism also likes young people.

When you get old, you will find it unpalatable.

In short, the Painted Skin Spirits will hunt relatively old humans directly in the city.

Eat their hearts!

Then the corpse was destroyed.

Shredding corpses is just a way to disguise the skin spirit after committing the crime!

Maybe some of the painting skin spirits have a more clever means of camouflage.

It was always based on these little Dao Gu who came to her conclusion just now.

"But it's also possible that the painting spirit will choose a city where there has been a crime before!"

Xu Sheng questioned: "Is it possible that it feels more familiar with the environment in the city where it has committed crimes, so it is handy?" ”

"Definitely. It's all just my guess. ”

Xiao Daogu nodded calmly: "But what we can do now is to go to these cities." If I happen to come across a Painted Skin Spirit committing a crime near us, I can sense it with my mana. ”

"Fairy Gu, why do I feel unreliable?"

Xu Sheng said speechlessly: "This is completely different from the life I imagined to subdue demons!" ”

It turns out that Xiao Daogu also has no talent for investigating cases!

"Fairy goblins are already very hidden in human cities! Those goblins who don't have super strength but are very arrogant and don't hide themselves, or don't know how to hide themselves, have long since died! Either he was strangled by the army or he was collected and refined by human immortal cultivators! ”

But Xiao Daogu explained: "Subduing demons and subduing demons originally relied on a certain amount of luck. Otherwise, why would those practitioners walk all over the world? You should have seen some monks and some old Taoist priests who always walked around various cities, right? They're just trying their luck! ”

Xu Sheng's mouth opened wide.

But he was speechless.

Because what Xiao Daogu said is very reasonable.

Truly.

After all, this is a world that is very much like the world of chatting.

In this world, human beings are the rulers of this world.

Fairies can only hide themselves and live in human society!

It's no wonder it's so easy to find.

In short, in the end, Xu Sheng and Xiao Daogu did not become detectives.

What they can do in the end, as ridiculous as it sounds, is just to try their luck!

"That Immortal Gu, could it be that the old monks and old Taoists who usually walk around in various cities, are all immortal cultivators with mana?"

Xu Sheng asked again: "Then when I see this kind of person in the future, should I pay attention?" ”

"It's something you should pay attention to!"

Xiao Daogu replied: "But not all of these people are high-ranking people, some people simply have no place to live, they just wander around, they are lazy to eat, and they are everywhere. Those temples and Taoist priests and monks in Taoist temples, not all of them have mana, only a few people have mana! Many monks and Taoists are actually just monks and Taoists. ”

"I see. By the way, Immortal Gu, then why didn't the ruler invite a few cultivators to sit in the yamen? ”

Xu Sheng asked again, "Why didn't our Xu clan even notice the existence of cultivators before?" ”

"This is because practitioners don't want to be tainted with cause and effect."

Xiao Daogu said: "If you interfere too much in worldly affairs, it is not only easy to consume our mana, but also consume a lot of our minds!" There are other reasons, but in short, it is not beneficial to practice! ”

"Not everyone has a Yang Body like you by your side like me."

When she said the last sentence, her fair and delicate face flushed slightly.

"I see!"

Xu Sheng nodded: "No wonder the world is ruled by ordinary humans!" ”

The more he learned, the more Xu Sheng felt that the immortal cultivators he had crossed into in this similar world seemed to be really difficult!

It's not so crazy and cool cock bombing!

Although they are still very strong when they use mana!

But once the mana is used, it takes a lot of time to recover.

If you use mana casually every day, you can't use your mana like Xiao Daogu, and you can inhale yang qi at any time to replenish yourself like Xiao Daogu.

It takes that long to recover after using up mana once.

What kind of immortal is this?

It's no wonder that immortal cultivators say one by one that if they don't get involved in cause and effect, they want to live in seclusion!

It's no wonder that ordinary people don't know that there are goblins and cultivators.

Because often these people walk in front of them, and they can't even see it!

It's like the first life of Xu Sheng and the twenty-seven years before the second life.

Although when he was on Earth, Xu Sheng heard some people say that cultivating immortals is the evolution of the essence of life? But the kind of immortal cultivator who is really awesome should be in the world of high-martial immortal cultivators.

The world that Xu Sheng is in now is not the kind of world with high combat power.

Immortal cultivators in this Liaozhai world can only be said to be qi refiners.

It's just that they call themselves immortal cultivators, which sounds even more awesome.

Sometimes Xu Sheng was indeed a little shocked that the immortal cultivators in this world were so weak and difficult!

But it's also because these immortal cultivators and goblins are not that strong.

That's why the world is now ruled by ordinary humans.

Xu Sheng felt that if in the history of the earth, if there really was a Qi Refiner, or an immortal cultivator.

Then they should be like Xiao Daogu and Chunyangzi.

They can't be as awesome as the immortal cultivators in some immortal cultivation novels on the earth, 'slashing the planet with one sword'.

If there were such strong immortal cultivators in history, the ruling structure of the entire world would not actually be established.

In general, Xu Sheng felt that the world he had crossed into should be an alternate world similar to the ancient world.

That's what the immortal cultivators here look like!

Of course, Xu Sheng felt that there should be a higher level of transcendent world cultivators in this universe.

That world should be the 'Immortal Cultivation World of the Divine Structure' in his imagination.

There are immortal cultivators flying all over the sky.

They don't need to become monks like the immortal cultivators in the Liaozhai world!

There the goblins are kings of the mountains.

They also don't need to hide themselves like the goblins of the chatting world.

But in this chatting world, practitioners are basically going to become monks.

Break off love and avoid cause and effect.

Fairies are hidden everywhere in the world!

If it's in the world of cultivating immortals in Gaowu.

Then there will be no such stories as painting skin spirits hidden in human society and female ghosts who smoke the yang qi of passing scholars in mountain temples!

If a cultivator from the high-level immortal cultivation world appeared in the world where Xu Sheng was now, it would be a random killing.

Then the ruling structure of the world will collapse.

The whole world will be turned upside down.

Of course, even if the immortal cultivators here are a little weak!

But Xu Sheng has 10,000 lifetimes to go up.

Someday it's going to break the ceiling.

One day, he will be even more awesome than the immortal cultivators in the inherent impression of many immortal cultivators on the earth.

He will have eternal life!

In fact, this is also the most extreme goal that Xu Sheng pursues in his heart.

"Eternal life!" This is why Xu Sheng practiced martial arts and why he wanted to cultivate immortals.

Although he has 10,000 lifetimes to live, he can actually live for a long time.

But since he has such capital, he wants to turn ten thousand lives into eternal life!

When I think so.

Xu Sheng thought that if he could be successfully reincarnated in the next life, and before he died in this life, he would be able to give birth to a child with spiritual roots.

Then when he cultivates immortals in the next life, will his physique still be the body of the supreme yang?

His Yang Body can allow Xiao Dao Gu to completely replenish her mana by simply absorbing a wave of Yang Qi after she has used up her mana.

Then if you wait for Xu Sheng to cultivate with the body of the Yang Body in the next life, what will be the result?

Does he not have to suffer from the suffering that these other immortal cultivators call that it takes a long time to recover after their mana is exhausted?

Xu Sheng immediately asked Xiao Daogu this question.

"Of course!"

Xiao Daogu said affirmatively: "If the body of the Supreme Yang has a spiritual root and comes to cultivate immortals, it will definitely be extraordinary!" As long as you can elevate the Dao to the next level, it will definitely be a super powerful existence, and it will definitely kill indiscriminately in the entire cultivation world! ”

Xu Sheng's eyes lit up.

"But this kind of thing has never happened, and there has never been such a person in history."

But Xiao Dao Gu said again: "The body of the supreme yang has appeared, but there is no spiritual root. Those who have spiritual roots, but they are not the body of the sun. ”

"Is that so?"

Xu Sheng asked, "Can't the two coexist?" ”

"Of course not."

Xiao Daogu said: "These two should complement each other!" It's just that such a person and such a talent have to be favored by fate! ”

"Understood. It's just that such a genius has not yet been born? ”

Hearing this, Xu Sheng couldn't help but say a little excitedly: "Is it possible that this kind of immortal cultivation genius will appear in my descendants one day?!" ”

Then if that's the case, wait for Xu Sheng to reincarnate as an immortal cultivator next time!

He's awesome!

Because Xu Sheng based on his understanding of the Book of Ten Thousand Worlds, he should still be born in the next life.

When the time comes!

He cultivates immortals with the body of the yang!

In this world similar to the world of chatting, the cultivation world is like a bug-like existence.

"Maybe."

Xiao Daogu said: "But no one can say for sure about this kind of thing." ”

"In this life, I must give birth to children with spiritual roots, and I want to give birth to a hundred children with spiritual roots!"

Xu Sheng roared in his heart: "No, a hundred is not enough, if you can, let's give birth to two hundred, it may be safer!" ”

Of course, Xu Sheng was thinking about this in his heart.

But this matter could not be completed by himself without Xiao Daogu's help.

And Xiao Daogu saved his life, and the grace of saving his life must be seriously repaid.

Therefore, Xu Sheng still put down his goal first and decided to concentrate on helping Xiao Daogu complete her things first.

Two months later.

In the past two months, Xu Sheng and Xiao Daogu have walked from city to city.

I want to try my luck and find the painted skin spirit.

But until two months passed, they didn't find the paint essence.

Xiao Daogu didn't sense the other goblins.

Nothing, so to speak.

In the past three months, Xu Sheng and the two of them have been eating food everywhere and watching the scenery.

It's like a tour!

One day after two months.

Xu Sheng and Xiao Daogu are not in the mood to play anymore.

Because that painted skin spirit is really committing a crime again!

Just the city next door to the one they stayed in the other day!

As Xiao Daogu expected, about every six months, this painting skin essence will do a case.

It's just that this time Xu Sheng and Xiao Daogu's luck is not good!

Didn't run into the paint skin.

At that time, Xu Sheng and Xiao Daogu lived in an inn in the city next door.

It is more than a kilometer away from the scene of the crime.

Therefore, Xiao Daogu didn't sense it at all.

On the same day, Xu Sheng and Xiao Daogu immediately rushed over.

But it's a pity that the tricks of the painted skin spirit are very clever, and the yamen over there can't find anything at all.

And those in the yamen who have been catching fast for decades have not found anything.

Xu Sheng and Xiao Daogu had no way to find out at all.

Although Xu Sheng is a traverser, Xiao Daogu is an immortal cultivator.

But Xu Sheng also has no ability to judge the case.

Xiao Daogu's mana can't directly find the painting skin essence based on his breath.

The immortal cultivators in the Liaozhai world are not so powerful.

In this regard, Xu Sheng and Xiao Daogu were a little disappointed.

But there is no way, in this world of human domination.

The elves who can live in human cities for a long time without being discovered are very intelligent.

Especially the means of hiding themselves are even more clever!

Xiao Daogu said again, if you want to meet a demon, it depends on luck. They are now looking for it, and sometimes they just can't find it. But sometimes, all of a sudden, it happens.

This is also called 'fate'!

Cultivation should talk about fate, and catching demons should also talk about fate!

Therefore, Xu Sheng and Xiao Daogu could only continue to travel between various cities to try their luck.

During this time, Xu Sheng took Xiao Daogu to eat all kinds of local delicacies.

Of course, Xiao Daogu's every food is a shallow taste.

She doesn't eat much.

Until this day three months later.

This day is the Shangyuan Festival.

At night.

The city is lit up with lights, and the roads are filled with vendors.

All kinds of snacks, accessories, lantern riddles and so on are dizzying.

People come and go, and it's very lively.

Xu Sheng and Xiaodaogu also came to participate in the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival.
