Volume 2 Dynasty Chapter 206 Parasites
After seeing everything that happened in the lobby, Lu Xuan originally planned to leave Lianshan City with Ah Lai and Zhao Zhao first.
But after the custom of wandering the gods ended, the curfew was reinstated in the old and dilapidated city, and the huge gates were tightly closed, so they had to spend the night on the streets.
The morning dawned and the sky became brighter.
Merchants opened their closed shops, and pedestrians dressed in various clothes took to the streets, making the town, which had been silent all night, gradually lively, bustling, noisy and peaceful, like the beautiful scenery outlined in the pictures.
But Lu Xuan's frowning brows never relaxed, only he could see that invisibly, this group of people were all wrapped in white smoke, no different from insect cocoons, but some of them had broken out of the cocoon, revealing red blood vessels, like a small wandering god.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong with you." Seeing that Lu Xuan's expression was so solemn, Ah Lai, who hadn't slept well all night, couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing." Lu Xuan shook his head: "Let's go." ”
Although this city is full of weirdness, fortunately, it did not entangle Shang Lu Xuan, so they left Lianshan City very easily.
When he walked out for almost four or five miles, Lu Xuan couldn't help but glance back at Lianshan City, and saw that there was nothing unclean coming over, so he couldn't help touching the broken jade wrapped around his waist.
If you let these monsters parasitic in the human body in the city discover their Dao Immortal physique.
If you want to leave, I'm afraid it's not so easy.
It's just that.....
After seeing the survival methods of this group of monsters, Lu Xuan had some guesses in his heart.
They are very similar to the parasites that they have seen in film and television dramas in later generations, and the wandering god I met last night is like a mother.
It parasitizes its own offspring in the human body in the form of blessings, and then makes them provide for its offspring by bewitching the people.
According to the old man, after about ten years of offerings, the person who receives the blessing will wake up.
Then it also represents the awakening of the parasite.
They will take the host's body and parasitize it again on others.
What happened last night is the best example of this.
Over time, even the entire city of Mountain Castle became a monster in human skin.
However, what made Lu Xuan a little suspicious was that it was the custom of the entire Great Jin Dynasty to walk around the gods, why didn't he see this strange scene in other places?
Does it mean that these monsters are territorial?
Lu Xuan thought about it carefully, as if the evil spirits encountered in each place were different.
If you encounter it in one place, you won't encounter it in other places, as if they were all divided into regions.
Intelligence, ability, and self-reproduction, these ghost things are all fully possessed.
What kind of world is this?
"That's not right!"
Lu Xuan's eyes suddenly moved, and the way of reproduction of the wandering god made him quickly remember the pill he had been forced to take before.
Could it be that Zhen Yuanzi was not refining an elixir at the beginning, but was performing a ritual similar to summoning, attracting monsters to parasitize?
It may not even know this!
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan stopped.
He now roughly understood that the cultivation system of this world was nothing more than trading with those invisible monsters, or sacrificing something indescribable.
Fundamentally, there is no traditional system of practice.
The combat strength of cultivators is not calculated by the year of cultivation, but by the degree of their transactions and the monsters hidden behind them.
Otherwise, with such a short period of time, it would be impossible for him to be the opponent of those ghost things on the road, and it would be impossible for him to escape from the Langyuan Wonderland from Zhen Yuanzi.
If that's the case, where should I go in this world?
Lu Xuan had a bitter smile on his face.
In a world where there is no pure land, the most advantageous path seems to be to go with the flow.
But if he really became a person like Zhen Yuanzi, why did he burn the book that recorded all kinds of evil arts in the first place.
In essence, he is a kind person, and he is always unwilling to go down the wrong path when he has to do so.
Even if it looks that way, it's too stupid.
Ah came to look at Lu Xuan, who was standing still, and reminded again: "Brother Lu? ”
Lu Xuan came back to his senses, restrained his expression, and after being silent for a while, he said, "You didn't rest well last night, let's rest for a while before we go." ”
Regarding his decision, Ah Lai and Lu Zhaozhao naturally have no objections.
Lu Xuan found a relatively clean stone, sat on it, took out the map he carried with him, unfolded it on the ground, and looked for a while before he found a mark similar to an island, with four words written underneath - Penglai Immortal Island.
At the beginning, Zhang Daoling said that if he encountered any difficulties, he could go to Penglai Xiandao to find him.
Judging from the map, Penglai Xiandao and Fengyang City are completely opposite directions, one in the north and the other in the south.
You need to go to the port on the Dajin Sea to take a boat to reach Penglai Immortal Island.
I'm afraid it will take a month to go down this way.
Whether to go to other cultivators to solve the Heavenly Immortals, or to unite with Zhang Daoling, the difference between the two is self-evident.
In any case, after sending Ah Lai and Zhao Zhao to Fengyang City to settle down, let's set off by ourselves.
I don't know, Zhang Daoling is now in Penglai Xiandao.
Lu Xuan still remembered that when he saw Zhang Daoling's vision at the border pass, he was extremely embarrassed.
Putting aside the plans for the time being, Lu Xuan and the others rested on the side of the road for a while, and then continued to hurry.
Since discovering that it is easy to encounter evil spirits in the mountains, Lu Xuan has not chosen the mountain road anymore.
The three of them walked on the official road built by the government, the road was much closer, and there were many pedestrians, which could effectively avoid some possible troubles, and occasionally they could also run into villages and other places, and they could also have a place to rest at night.
I didn't encounter anything strange along the way, and Lu Xuan also purchased an ox cart in the village on the road for convenience.
He didn't know how many times he had changed his tools to get on the road.
However, it is always more convenient, at least the luggage does not have to be carried on the shoulder.
Now it is very close to Fengyang City, there are still about two or three days away, and when he arrives at the next place, Lu Xuan was originally thinking about buying some clothes and other things, so that when Ah Lai returns home, he will not look so embarrassed.
But after thinking about it carefully, I gave up this plan.
Although Ah Lai is going home, after all, he has been away from home for so long, perhaps, the family has long thought that he is dead.
Now that they suddenly go back, it must be unexpected....
Therefore, the more shabby the clothes Alai is, the better, so as to deepen the guilt of his parents.
In this way, he can receive more care at home in the future.
Although there is a lot of malice in trying to figure out people's hearts in this way, it is the best choice.
