Chapter 8: The Beasts of the Ancients

Suddenly, a thin line appeared on the ground behind him, and it reached behind Li Xiguang in an instant.

The ground exploded, Tang Xuan jumped out of the ground violently, and punched Li Xiguang in the back, Li Xiguang was making a big move, completely defenseless, and was successfully attacked by Tang Xuan.

He flew out miserably and fell heavily to the ground, and the water dragon around him lost control and instantly cracked and turned into a torrent of water.

Li Xiguang fell in front of the City God, and the City God Lord bit Li Xiguang in one bite.

"Shameless junior, I will ......" Li Xiguang's voice disappeared, and he was chewed a few times by the old man of the city god and swallowed.

Tang Xuan quickly stepped forward, and while the City God Lord had not yet recovered, he slammed his head continuously, smashing his head alive.

The head of the city god lord quickly began to recover, and it was smashed again, and a dozen times, the city god lord's breath suddenly weakened, turning into a pile of dirt and collapsing.

Its massive belly exploded, revealing dozens of corpses inside, most of them relatively intact, but all of them were breathless.

"It's okay now, the city god and the county commander have fought, and both sides are dead, nothing happens to me!" After resting for a while, Tang Xuan stood up with a muttering to himself and walked towards the government and silver bureau.

When the officials on duty at the county government saw that the movement was over, they returned to the county government one by one to check the situation, and when they saw the corpses in this place, they were all frightened.

Tang Xuan came to the silver bureau of the Qin County Order, which was on the edge of the Qin County Order's inner house, and the two officials in charge of guarding it had also returned, and they were communicating with horror on their faces.

"Get out of the way, I'll go in and get something!" Tang Xuan was not polite, kicked open the door, and walked inside.

The two officials looked at each other, no one dared to stop them, Tang Xuan and they knew each other, they used to be a flat-headed common man who was lying on their stomachs, but now they have the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons, they can't afford to provoke them.

A moment later, Tang Xuan took out a lot of silver taels and gold from the silver bureau and walked in front of the two.

"I'm not a robbery, yesterday Qin Dabang owed me a hundred taels of silver, and I will get it back today with interest!"

"That's ...... Is that...... Lord Tang, please take care of yourself! The two officials were full of laughter, not daring to offend.

Tang Xuan took at least five hundred taels, which was high enough......

The enemies are gone, and the money is gone!

Walking out of the county office, Tang Xuan was in a good mood, and walked briskly to the west, and the fox Xiaoji came out of the side of the road.

"Just look at the pace of your six relatives who don't recognize it, you will kill the Qin County Order!" The fox Xiao Ji followed behind Tang Xuan madly.

"It's okay with me...... The old man of the city god was red-eyed, went to the county government to make trouble, and ate the Qin County Order and the mage, but he died himself...... "Tang Xuan didn't dare to take the crime of confronting the court and disobeying the gods, and he couldn't admit it even if he was killed!"

Walking and walking, Tang Xuan came to Xiao Cui's house, Xiao Cui's father sat in the ruins and sighed, and Xiao Cui wiped her tears beside her.

Tang Xuan walked up to Xiao Cui's father and saluted respectfully, "Fu Bo, I heard you say that as long as you have two hundred taels of silver, you can marry Xiao Cui, I don't know if it's true?" ”

As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness to kill him...... Xiaocui's house must be repaired, it takes a lot of money, and he saved her family's life, this little cui's father will never refuse.

"Tang Gongzi, thank you for saving my life...... I did say this, old man, but we can't afford to climb up to your status! You have angered the gods, so hurry away before disaster befalls you! Little Cui Daddy categorically rejected Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan's heart was cold, he reached out and took out a gold ingot, put it on the ruins, and turned away lonely.

Xiao Cui stood up, took a few steps forward, and was about to speak, but Xiao Cui's father immediately blocked in front of him, Xiao Cui didn't speak, looking at Tang Xuan's back, tears came out of her eyes......

Tang Xuan originally wanted to make some money, marry Xiao Cui, who was still good-looking, and spend his life so simply, but it backfired, and the people no longer dared to have too much contact with him.

"You and Xiao Cui are not from the same world, even if you are a Qi Condensation Immortal cultivator, you have a lifespan of hundreds of years." Fox Xiao Ji took a few steps and kept up with Tang Xuan's footsteps.

Tang Xuan didn't speak, his heart was mixed, and he continued to walk forward.

Although he didn't talk to Xiaocui a few times, he just went to eat bean curd twice, but he had a very good impression of this honest and hardworking Xiaocui, and now the marriage proposal was rejected, which made him a little sad.

"Women only affect your hand speed...... With my guidance, you will become a hero, why worry about not having a beautiful woman to accompany you when the time comes? Xiao Ji said with relief.

"Let's go!" Tang Xuan didn't say anything more.

……

To become the lord of one party, Tang Xuan is not so ambitious, he just wants to survive in this troubled world and live his own small life.

Tang Xuan cultivated desperately, but his cultivation was stuck in the double of condensation, and even Xiao Ji couldn't tell why...... Maybe it's because the qualifications are not enough!

Ten days later......

The wind is calm, and the mountains have been unusually quiet lately.

Near Tang Xuan's hut, there are many mass graves, and every time the sun goes down, some souls crawl out of the graves and wander in the air.

There are even powerful spirits that possess corpses and come out and walk around at night.

But recently, these souls have all disappeared, and no one has come to ask Tang Xuan to subdue demons and eliminate demons, as if the world has returned to normal.

After the death of the Qin County Commander, the substitute county commander Feng Wenji took office, and as soon as Feng Wenji took office, he was exempted from some harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people's lives were much better.

On this day, Tang Xuan was called to the county government by Feng County, and Feng County ordered Tang Xuan to serve as the town and county mage of Guyang County to fill Li Xiguang's vacancy.

Although Tang Xuan was unwilling, this Feng Wenji was very cunning, and Tang Xuan could only obey by taking away the silver taels from the bank without permission that day.

Every county in the Great Liang Kingdom has a mage, which is personally recruited by the county order, but because it is an immortal cultivator, its status is not inferior to the county order, if it is done well, there will be promotion, which is considered to be a career.

The mage is divided into nine grades, the town and county mages are the nine grades, enjoying the treatment of the nine grades of officials in the imperial court, and the best level is the first grade mage, ranking above the temple, that is, the legendary national teacher.

As soon as the robe was issued, Tang Xuan was assigned a task, and last night the widow Xu died inexplicably at home, and Tang Xuan was arranged to investigate.

"My lord, the corpse died last night, and it's the third case!"

In the back hall of the county government, the corpse has just been examined.

This widow Chen was eroded by demonic power and went crazy, thanks to Tang Xuan's action, she was able to save her life, and she didn't want to die a tragic death now, which was embarrassing.

Tang Xuan leaned down, lifted the white cloth, and personally performed the autopsy, the corpse's clothes had been removed, Widow Xu's figure was well maintained, Tang Xuan had already had contact with her, even if he didn't look at her face, he could recognize her.

The corpse has no obvious scars, and the corpse of the immortal cultivator does not decay all year round, and there will be no corpse stiffness, but Widow Xu is an ordinary person, and the corpse has begun to stiffen.

Tang Xuan noticed that this Widow Xu's small mouth was actually open all the time, which was a little weird.

"The victim had no visible injuries, but his mouth was always open, and it was obvious that there were foreign objects coming in and out...... Who guarded the body yesterday? With that, Tang Xuan tried to silence the corpse, but failed.

Everyone looked at Song Zhutou with their eyes, and Song Zhutou waved his hand again and again, and said, "I haven't touched the corpse at all...... I didn't do anything! ”

If so, there is only one possibility...... The murderer first knocked Widow Chen unconscious, and then used special means to drain her soul, and when the soul left the body, people would open their mouths. "After all, Tang Xuan is an immortal cultivator, and he knows a lot more than ordinary people.

"What do you mean...... Didn't these victims ask for their lives? Song Zhutou asked cautiously.

"It's not a ghost, it's an immortal cultivator or a big demon...... The other party is obviously tempting, and it may become more intense in the next few days, so when you patrol the night, you must be very careful, and report it immediately if you encounter an abnormality, and do not face it head-on! Tang Xuan commanded.

"Honorable Order!" Everyone agreed.

……

Night.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles!" The husband yawned and slapped twice.

Now that it is autumn, the night is a little cool, and the autumn wind blows on the face very comfortably.

The moon and stars are scarce, the lantern in his hand seems dispensable, a drop of water fell on the arm of the husband, the husband approached his nose and smelled, this drop of water has some strange smell, like the smell of fish mixed with the fragrance of acacia flowers.

It's raining?

He looked up and saw that on the roof above his head, a huge eye appeared, and this eye was more than eight feet long, and it turned out to be a one-eyed giant that he had never seen before!

This monster is actually translucent, pale pink, and can see its internal organs, shaped like a fish, but a little short and thick, with short limbs, thick big lips, but no teeth in its mouth, and dozens of long tentacles on its body, the tentacles are three fingers thick, the tip is slightly inflated, and it is shiny and shiny, and it seems to have liquid lubrication on it.

"Save ...... Help me! The husband collapsed on the ground, his legs shaking, and he could not move a single bit.

The one-eyed monster leaped down and swallowed the gentry into his stomach, seeing him pass from his throat to his stomach, but he did not die immediately, and after struggling for a moment, he remained motionless in his huge stomach.

His soul floated out, suspended in the air, a little dazed.

Not far away is the Wenxiang Building, Tang Xuan stood on the roof of the Wenxiang Building, and could see it clearly.

"It's the one-eyed Jiuxi of the evil beast, according to legend, this evil beast is the offspring of gluttony, its sex is extremely greedy, and it likes to eat people, so it's best not to provoke!" The fox reminded Tang Xuan.

"What a strong breath...... I'm afraid I'm not an opponent, how good is that! ”

Tang Xuan was a little anxious in his heart, he had just become a Guyang County mage, and before his ass was hot, someone came to smash the field, but he couldn't afford to provoke him.

The Jiuxi waved its tentacles, grabbed a young man from the house next to it, and quickly swallowed it, and the man's soul quickly flew out of Jiuxi's body.

Suddenly, a black shadow quickly appeared, holding a strange gourd, and took the man's soul away.

I'm afraid that this is the one who kills the people these days, and in order to speed up today, he actually made an ancient evil beast to kill people!
