"Little second brother, do you know that the government wants to prohibit the purchase of fine salt from other countries?" Mu Heng was also very puzzled by this.

Historically, salt administration has been the lifeblood of the country, and it is rare to restrict the import of salt.

measures that are generally compelled to be taken in times of national instability; If it weren't for the former, then taking special measures to control salt would definitely be someone who wanted to reap the benefits of salt administration.

Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Isn't it just the fat difference of the salt government and the luck of the people, and the people's fat and ointment extracted.

"The guest officer can look up to me, how can I and other villains know about the things in the court." The shopkeeper spread his hands and replied.

"Then the little second brother, have you ever heard of something strange happening in the court?" Mu Heng also realized that the question he asked was too far-reaching, so he continued to inquire in a different way.

"Strange things? I haven't heard of it. Our Xuanzhou City is far away from the emperor, and it is difficult to know what is going on in the capital. ”

When Mu Heng heard this, he didn't continue to ask, and he was still thinking about the intention of tightening the salt administration in his mind.

"We don't know what is going on in the court, but recently, the lord of Xuanzhou City married a concubine in the eighth room, and it is said that she is as beautiful as a fairy, which is also a major event in Xuanzhou City." The shopkeeper had a look of adoration on his face, and he didn't know if he was looking forward to the eight-room concubine of the Xuanzhou city lord or the beauty of the eight-room concubine.

"Bolt, what is the pestle doing there, don't hurry up to greet the guests." The shopkeeper in the distance pulled the shopkeeper back to reality.

"Guest, use it slowly, I'll get busy first." The shopkeeper said hello and went to welcome the new guests.

"The eighth concubine, this Xuanzhou City Lord is also an interesting person." Meng Xuyang, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly said this, with a lewd smile on his face, he didn't look like a good person, although the person dressed up looked like a dog.

Luo Yunjin seemed to feel Meng Xuyang's scumbag-like sigh, and couldn't help but move in the direction of avoiding him, not wanting to get too close to this kind of person, and kept reminding himself in his heart: Wait a minute, you must let the senior brother stay away from this kind of person.

Sensing Luo Yunjin's deliberate estrangement and the contemptuous look on her face, Meng Xuyang just smiled awkwardly.

Ignoring the two, Mu Heng continued to observe the people around him, eating dishes without saltiness, without showing the slightest expression of regret, he should be used to the days without salt.

Shaking his head, he didn't see anything else, so he had to bury his head in the food. It also needs energy, and there is no taste, so it can only be stuffed and filled.

Meng Xuyang and Luo Yunjin tasted the salty dishes, so they didn't move their chopsticks again. It was to satisfy the appetite, but I thought that there was no taste due to less salt, so there was no need to continue eating.

"There's a demonic aura." Mu Heng, who was full of wine and food, was about to beckon the two of them to go upstairs to rest, but Meng Xuyang's surprised voice came from his ears.

"Demonic spirit?" When Mu Heng heard this word for the first time, he couldn't care about the fatigue on his body.

"If there is nothing, but it should not be wrong." Meng Xuyang's seriousness made Mu Heng cheer up and swept away the laziness after a full stomach.

"Senior sister, can you feel it?" Mu Heng himself didn't feel any strange aura, so he asked Luo Yunjin, who had a good cultivation.

"Originally, I didn't notice it, but after listening to Senior Brother Meng's words, I deliberately sensed it, and it seemed that there was really the breath of the demon clan." Luo Yunjin took a closer look and replied with some solemnity.

"Did there often be demon clans in the human race before?" Mu Heng then asked.

"Brother Mu doesn't know, although the human race and the demon race are hostile, there has been no major conflict in the past few hundred years, and almost no trace of the demon race has been found in the human area." Meng Xuyang explained.

"Really?" Mu Hengruo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If it is really a demon clan, it means that the appearance of the demon clan did not happen by chance, there must be a reason?" ”

"That's the truth, but I don't know what the purpose of the demon clan is." Meng Xuyang said thoughtfully.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Meng, since the demon clan has appeared, we have to collect it as soon as possible, otherwise it will wreak havoc in the city, and I don't know how many people will die." Luo Yunjin hurriedly interjected.

"What Senior Sister Luo said is. Brother Shepherd, let's go quickly and finish off this evil animal as soon as possible. Meng Xuyang also knew that the appearance of the demon clan, no matter what the reason, if it was not cleared earlier, it would inevitably bring disaster to the human race.

After settling the account, the three of them stepped out of the door, quickly set up the fairy sword, and headed towards the southern edgeworth. Mu Heng was still following behind Luo Yunjin, but he was thinking a lot in his head.

I heard the Heavenly Machine Daoist talk about the Corpse Soul Clan before, and it has not been born for a long, long time. Now the demon clan, which has not appeared in hundreds of years, suddenly appeared. The two accidents happened to be touched by himself, and Mu Heng always felt that he had an inexplicable connection with himself.

How else could it be so coincidental? Shaking his head, Mu Heng threw out this kind of self-thought, maybe something similar was happening in other places, but he didn't happen to encounter it.

Besides, I still remember that the female disciples of Yuqing Xingzhai gave themselves the nickname "Heaven Forsaken Man", and it is also appropriate to encounter this kind of unfortunate thing.

As the old saying goes, there are only the wrong names, no wrong nicknames.

When I met the ancestor of the Corpse Soul Clan before, I almost confessed, and I also realized the wood aura because of the blessing of misfortune. This time, I don't know what I will encounter, but this time there is Meng Xuyang's Liuhe Realm, and the ability to deal with it should be much stronger.

Xuanzhou City, which has fallen into the night, has a dark curtain covering the chaos in the city, and the lights below dot the earth, and under the starlight, there is also the beauty of a night scene.

It's just that I heard that there is the breath of the demon clan, and the night seems to have a ferocious atmosphere, which is a little chilling.

"Hopefully this time it won't be difficult to deal with." Mu Heng prayed in his heart for the smooth progress of this trip.

"Senior sister, have you ever seen the demon clan?" Mu Heng leaned forward and asked Luo Yunjin, who was in front of him.

"No, I've only seen it in the records of the predecessors." Luo Yunjin shook his head.

"Then how did you sense the demonic energy?" Mu Heng was very strange, he had never seen it, how could he know that it was a demon clan.

"How to say it, the breath of the demon clan will be obvious in the human race, just like the corpse soul clan last time, exuding a cold aura all over the body. This kind of aura is as obvious to a human monk as a lamp in the dark. Luo Yunjin couldn't tell the truth of sensing the demonic energy, and he could only simply describe his feelings.

"It's still too low to cultivate, you have to wait until you reach the realm of your junior sister to sense it." Mu Heng understood what Luo Yunjin meant, as long as his cultivation was high, he could clearly sense this kind of aura.

"I'm sure Senior Brother will be able to catch up with me soon." Luo Yunjin said very gently.

"Hopefully."

"Senior brother, there." Luo Yunjin pointed to the brightly lit area not far away and said, the immortal sword under his feet also sped up, followed behind Meng Xuyang, and swooped down.

Mu Heng followed the direction pointed by Luo Yunjin, it was pitch black, and it looked very different from other places. The sparse lights are a sign of poverty in the area.

Sure enough, the demon clan also likes to hide from the light.

The three of them landed, and Mu Heng looked around nervously, looking for traces of demonic energy. It's just that I can't sense the demonic aura, but I smell the faint smell of blood in the air.

I secretly screamed in my heart, and sure enough, when the demon clan appeared in the human race, there must be deaths and injuries. With anger against the demon clan, Mu Heng followed the bloody qi.

Meng Xuyang had already realized this, and he tacitly followed the smell with Mu Heng.

After passing through several alleys of varying widths, the three of them came to a ruined place and paused. Mu Heng felt that this place was the source of the smell of blood.

Meng Xuyang took out a turquoise night pearl and illuminated the place.

The sudden light made Mu Heng a little curious. It's just that the next scene in front of him made the surprise in his heart disappear, and a wave of anger gushed out from the dantian.

In sight, there were corpses all over the ground, and at a cursory glance, I am afraid that there were forty or fifty of them. Unlike the people who were killed by the Corpse Soul Clan's ancestor Huaixing before, there were only corpses here, but there were not many bloodstains.

Meng Xuyang was not as angry as Mu Heng, but he also changed his usual smiling face and became solemn: "Sure enough, there is nothing good about the appearance of the demon clan. ”

"The hateful demon clan is unforgivable for committing murder in my Yuqing Xingzhai." Luo Yunjin couldn't help but cry, and said with red eyes.

Mu Heng came closer, looked at the pale corpse on the ground, and said, "These dead have all been drained of blood by the demon clan. ”

"The demon clan can use the aura in the blood of living beings to improve their cultivation, and the human race is the best furnace." Meng Xuyang briefly introduced the purpose of the demon clan to Mu Heng.

Looking at the old and young on the ground, dressed in rags, this must have been a beggar's nest. Mu Heng's mouth kept chattering: "I struggled to survive in my life, and I can't even die, if I have the ability, I will definitely kill this demon and avenge you." ”

"The demonic aura is surrounded here, presumably because the demonic sucked human blood, and the cultivation was improved to break through, so that it accidentally emitted demonic energy, which was noticed by us. If you think about it at this moment, there is no trace. Meng Xuyang didn't look at the corpses on the ground anymore, but carefully looked for traces of demonic energy.

"It must be found as soon as possible, or there will not be enough people in this city to cause it harm." Luo Yunjin also helped Meng Xuyang find it, and said worriedly.

"It's easier said than done, I don't know what realm that monster is now, I hope it's not too high." Meng Xuyang stopped, his expression slightly solemn.

When Mu Heng heard this, he also understood that he was afraid that he would not be able to find the location of the monster for a while, so he stopped caring and turned around to look for tools such as shovels in the ruins.

Since they happen to meet them, they can also be given a ride, dig a better pit, and let them settle in the ground.

Meng Xuyang looked at Mu Heng digging a pit in the open space on the side, and was very puzzled: "Brother Mu, what are you doing?" ”

When Luo Yunjin saw Mu Heng's move, he quickly understood his intentions and explained for him: "Senior brother wants to dig a pit and bury these dead. ”

"Why do you bother to do this, just make these corpses less with one fire." Meng Xuyang understood Mu Heng's purpose and felt that he was too troublesome, so he suggested.

"I think they'd love to keep the whole body and bury it." Mu Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the corpse on the ground with a gentle smile and said.
