Chapter 166, Spreading the News
How can a monster who wants to live in the human market not pay attention to news from all directions.
Li Chengjing's inspection has long spread in the monster circle in Hongcheng.
Tu Qiu once looked at Li Chengjing's appearance from a distance.
Seeing that the person who found out that he was Li Chengjing, Tu Qiu did not relax at all because of this, but became more nervous.
It's just because Li Chengjing is not a monk of Erlangtang, and he may also be prejudiced against these monsters.
Tu Qiu subconsciously wanted to escape.
"Don't try to escape with the earth escape technique, you can't escape with that little way."
Li Chengjing's faint voice came, making Tu Qiu stop his stupid moves.
He trembled as he watched Li Chengjing jump off the wall, and then showed a hearty smile and said to himself: "You little demon is persuaded by others, I don't know what to call it?" ”
Seeing Li Chengjing's appearance, Tu Qiu finally stopped being so nervous, but returned the same salute and said: "The little demon's name is Tu Qiu, and he is a monster recorded by Erlangtang. Temporarily residing in Furong Street, Tonggui Visit. ”
After speaking, he looked at Li Chengjing cautiously.
Li Chengjing nodded and said, "Since you are a monster recorded in Erlangtang, you should know that Erlangtang is not allowed to perform Taoist skills in the city at will. Even the Xuanmen monks are like this, let alone you, a monster. So, tell the official that you encountered something important, and you didn't hesitate to use Taoist skills to shuttle between the markets. ”
Tu Qiu hesitated for a moment, but finally told Li Chengjing the truth.
After listening to Tu Qiu's experience, Li Chengjing was not surprised.
It was just to his surprise that Tu Qiu was scared away by a mortal with a firewood knife.
That's kind of ridiculous.
But thinking that Tu Qiu was just an ordinary rabbit demon, he didn't make fun of him.
Instead, he asked, "What were you going to do before?" Looking at the direction you fled, it doesn't seem to be the county government yamen. ”
Tu Qiu smiled bitterly, seeing that Li Chengjing had been speaking gently, although he was a little demon and laughed a lot, compared to those Xuanmen monks, he didn't know how much better.
Then he became bolder, and he lost the fear and nervousness he had before.
Tu Qiu said: "I don't know anything about the inspection, although we are waiting for this kind of monster, although we have the grace of Erlangtang and are allowed to live in the market in Hongcheng, but after all, we are not a human race, so it is naturally not good to report to the official." ”
Therefore, the little demon is ready to go to find a fellow demon clan who is familiar with him and discuss this matter. After all, since my neighbor Brother Zhao is also a monster, if he makes trouble with the government, even with Erlangtang's permission, now that his identity is exposed, they will not be able to continue to live in Hongcheng. ”
"In the next is a monster cultivated outside the realm of Erlang Hall, I know how difficult it is for us monsters to live outside Hongcheng, I have no worries with that Brother Zhao in the past, and today it is a misunderstanding, I am afraid that he also doesn't know that I am actually a monster, and he is afraid that his identity will be exposed, so he has evil thoughts, which is understandable."
Li Chengjing laughed, patted Tu Qiu's shoulder gently, and sighed: "You are quite kind." It's very rare. ”
Hearing Li Chengjing's praise, Tu Qiu smiled a little embarrassedly.
"But, what I'm telling you, your neighbor is not a youkai, but a mortal tainted by evil gods."
Tu Qiu looked up in shock.
"It's not just your neighbor, now in Hongcheng, more than half of the mortals have been polluted by evil gods, alienated like demons, and not only ordinary people, but even the county government yamen. If you have the heart, you will find out that after today, there will be many fewer people on the streets of Hongcheng than usual. I'm afraid they are all like your neighbors, afraid to go out of the house, and hide in the house. ”
"What? Inspector Li, don't be joking, we are here in Hongcheng, there is Erlangtang to guard it, where is there an evil demon god who dares to spread wild here! ”
Tu Qiu didn't believe what Li Chengjing said at all.
If it were other cities, Li Chengjing told him this, Tu Qiu might still believe it, but this is Hongcheng, Erlang Hall, one of the three sects of the evil sect, not to mention that he has never heard of any evil gods, even if there is, if he casts evil methods here, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
Li Chengjing couldn't see his thoughts, let alone that he was such an uninformed little demon, even an ordinary sect monk, I am afraid that he would not be in such a situation today.
"Inspector Li, I'm just an incompetent little demon below, why are you telling me this?"
Tu Qiu asked nervously.
Li Chengjing smiled and explained: "Since you know that you are here, you should naturally also know that the time to come down to Hongcheng is not long. And he has been investigating the case, and has not yet established a friendship with Hongcheng's colleagues. Now, in order to deal with this matter, I can't find a colleague to discuss. ”
"In desperation, I can only walk around the street at will, wanting to see if I can meet my fellow people on the mountain, no, just in time, I found you walking underground."
Where would Tu Qiu believe it so easily.
Li Chengjing shrugged his shoulders and said, "You don't have a retreat technique, if you don't believe it, you can take a look at almost everyone's house and check it to see if it's as I said." ”
"Even so, if the little demon is not mistaken, the Xuanmen Daoist who has been encircling and suppressing the ugly girl recently, will not temporarily live in the Yuelai Inn, so why bother to go far and far from the inspection. Moreover, as far as the little demon knows, the Dao Masters who live in the inn can be regarded as the highest group of Daoists in Hongcheng. ”
Li Chengjing looked at such a vigilant little demon, sighed, and said: "If they were still alive, I would naturally look for them, but unfortunately they were in the Yuelai Inn last night, and all the people who were polluted by the evil gods were killed." Now the Yuelai Inn is not a single Xuanmen monk. ”
"What?" Tu Qiu exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly covered his mouth, for fear that his voice would be loud and attract attention.
Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any one around.
With such a big matter, Tu Qiu couldn't believe his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
Seeing that Tu Qiu still wanted to ask, Li Chengjing waved his hand a little impatiently.
said: "Since you don't believe me, don't say it anymore, but you can pass on what I said to your fellow demon clansmen." There is one more thing, you should not expect the people of Erlangtang to come and save you. Now the two hundred miles around Hongcheng are sealed by the Nine Sons Tianhe Array laid by Erlangtang, and now Hongcheng cannot enter and exit, if you want to live, you have to think about it. ”
After speaking, Li Chengjing no longer gave him a chance to ask, and walked out of the alley quickly and merged into the flow of people.
Only Tu Qiu, who was in a daze, was left.
After a long time, Tu Qiu was excited, and then he came back to his senses.
After thinking about it, Tu Qiu hurriedly left here.
This time, because of Li Chengjing's words, he also thought about it, and observed the flow of people along the way, and this look, as Li Chengjing said, there are extremely few people walking around on the streets of Hongcheng today.
When I passed by the entrance of the vegetable market, I didn't see any vendors setting up stalls.
At first glance, I thought that most of the people in Hongcheng had disappeared.
At this time, Tu Qiu could no longer hold back his anxious heart, and hurriedly dared to go in one direction.
…………
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around Li Chengjing, June hurriedly asked, "Why didn't the master let me follow him." ”
Li Chengjing smiled: "There is no need. ”
June didn't understand.
Li Chengjing explained: "Suspicion is not just something that people have, as long as there is a thoughtful and intelligent existence. As long as you have a precautionary mind in your heart, you can't help but be suspicious of everything around you. Only by letting them discover and confirm for themselves will they be convinced. ”
"Besides, I didn't deceive him at all, I just need to wait until they confirm this matter themselves, and when the time comes, they will take the initiative to find me in order to protect themselves, and at that time, it is time for me to negotiate with them."
On the next day, Li Chengjing kept walking on the streets, and when he found Xuan Xiu or monsters, he would invite them to a secluded place, show his appearance, and say Tu Qiu's words again.
Then he didn't care whether the other party believed it or not, and just left.
After a day's hard work, Li Chengjing found nearly a dozen people.
Then the next day, Li Chengjing never went out again.
These monsters and loose cultivators who have lived in Hongcheng for a long time, if they don't have their own communication circles, Li Chengjing will not believe it.
As long as the news spreads, Li Chengjing doesn't have to worry that the people in the Xuanxiu circle in Hongcheng don't know.
Now it's time to ferment.
Tong Ziran is a casual cultivator living in Hongcheng.
He was both lucky and unlucky.
Fortunately, he was originally just a middle-of-the-road family, and he had no choice but to give up reading to become a seller, but by chance, he got a book of cultivation methods on the mountain, and learned a few small techniques of Xuanmen that could not be used on the table.
Unfortunately, he saw the scenery on the mountain, and how could he be willing to live in such mediocrity.
Longevity and long-term vision, free in the world, regardless of the common people, frolicking with ghosts and gods, drunk and lying in the clouds, watching the clouds rolling in the clouds, smelling the desolate and sad songs in the world, and being fierce.
This is the dream of almost all monastics.
But in reality, when he really set foot in the cultivation world, Tong Ziran found that compared with the contentment and happiness of mortals, the leisurely immortals on the mountain who seemed to escape from the red dust actually needed gold and silver more pickles.
He was already poor, where did he have the gold and silver to buy the expensive mountain spirit earth treasure, the elixir that nourished his cultivation.
Therefore, his life did not get better because he became a Xuan Xiu, but became more impoverished.
Fortunately, he is a local in Hongcheng, and his dream now is that one day, he can be favored by Erlangtang and become a disciple of Erlangtang, so the current predicament will be solved.
But that's just a dream.
Today he had once again participated in an exchange of practitioners, and here he heard news that shocked him.
In order to avoid contamination, Erlangtang has laid down the Nine Sons Tianhe Array, completely isolating the entire Hongcheng from the world, so that they, the people in Hongcheng, will be left to fend for themselves.
This is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Tong Ziran and everyone who knows the news.
Some people died, but not completely......
