A few days later.

In the evening, the sun will not set in the west, and the clouds will be reflected as if they were stained with blood.

The Shen family and his entourage finally walked out of the rainy Qianhua County, crossed the Yuqian Pass, and entered Yuyin County.

Shen Luo did not sit in the car to cultivate as usual, but drove the carriage himself, but instead let the young coachman who had driven him for more than half a month along the way rest and sat on the other side.

The coachman's name is Wang Yuan, the son of the original Shen family's housekeeper, and the family stayed in the city when the city was broken, and only he was brought out by Shen Huayuan at the request of the old housekeeper.

"Immortal Master Shen, is that mountain Yuqian Mountain?" Wang Yuan asked, pointing to a dark and blurred mountain in the distance.

"Yes, it's there. Shen Luo glanced at it, nodded, and said.

"When I was a child, I heard my father talk about it, saying that this was an important medicinal material production area for the Shen family in the past, saying that there were many elm trees growing on the mountain, and every year when the season came, the trees would be full of sweet elm money, which looked like a small copper coin, which could be eaten raw and steamed and cooked, and those who ate it could have financial luck. Wang Yuan's eyes flashed with a look of remembrance and said.

"Elm money...... I ate it when I was a kid. When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't help but recall the past.

"How does it taste?" Wang Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly asked.

Shen Luo saw him looking expectant, and couldn't bear to lie to him, so he had to say, "It's been too long, I can't remember." ”

In fact, he did eat Yuqian rice when he was a child, but there were too many delicious things at that time, and he didn't like the taste, so he didn't think it was sweet.

It's just that I didn't expect that in the world thousands of years later, even such things have become unattainable food.

"My dad hasn't actually eaten it either, but every time I talk about it, it makes my teeth and cheeks flutter, but I can't imagine what it tastes like. Wang glanced at the Yuqian Mountain from afar and said with some disappointment.

"I remember that there should be elm trees in Chunhua County, right?" Shen Luo asked with a slight groan.

When Wang Yuan heard this, he didn't think about why Shen Luo knew about this, but just shook his head and said, "There is an old elm tree, which is more than two hundred years old, but unfortunately it has long since died. ”

Shen Luo heard this and fell silent.

After all, in a thousand years, Chunhua County can become a big city comparable to a state city, what else will not change?

While the two were talking, the carriage in front of the convoy suddenly stopped after a roar of horses, Shen Luo's nose wrinkled slightly, and he immediately smelled a bloody breath, and his brows furrowed.

As soon as he jumped out of the carriage, he saw that Shen Quan had already run back quickly.

"Senior Shen, go to the front and take a look, there is a situation. Shen Quan clasped his fists and shouted from afar.

Shen Luo didn't hesitate and hurried over, but the closer he got to the front of the team, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and the more intense the bloody aura in the air became.

He brushed aside the Shen family who were watching, and at a glance saw a large canopy of blood splashed on the ground, dark in color, had dried up and scabbed, and many human stumps were scattered in the distance, the scene was extremely bloody, causing many people to gasp, and some clansmen ran to the side and retched.

Shen Luo looked at the severed hands and feet all over the ground, even if he was used to seeing life and death, he couldn't help but feel a little numb.

"Senior, we have roughly counted the corpses, there are more than ten corpses in total, and most of the people's hearts and intestines are gone, it seems that they should have been attacked by some demon beast. Shen Yu stepped forward and said.

When Shen Luo heard this, he didn't speak, he leaned down silently, grabbed a young child's severed hand, stared at the broken position for a moment, and then took out a yellow paper talisman from his arms and shook it in the air.

The yellow paper rune painted with the mountain rune made a slight sound, but there was no light on it.

"It's not the monster's doing. Shen Luo put away the talisman paper, stood up and said.

"The corpse was so badly damaged, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it was done by an irrational demon beast, why did the seniors say that it wasn't done by a demon beast?" Shen Huayuan couldn't help but ask.

"I just used the mountain talisman to probe, and there is no demonic energy left around. Moreover, although the corpses here are dismembered and scattered, if you look closely, you will find that the tooth marks on the broken limbs of those stumps have no obvious signs of demons. Shen Luo's expression remained unchanged and said.

When Shen Huayuan heard this, he immediately rummaged through the stumps, and soon found an arm with tooth marks, and after looking at it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "This tooth mark ...... How do you look like a Terran?"

When the others heard this, they also came up to check it out, and they were all amazed after seeing it.

"Even if the Terrans kill people, they will not do such a thing of dissecting the liver and digging out the heart and eating the bones and dismembering the corpse, in my opinion, most of them have encountered monsters, and it is very likely that they are infected by demonic energy and transformed by the Terrans. Shen Luo continued.

Hearing the word "monster", the expressions of everyone in the Shen family changed slightly.

"The analysis of the predecessors, I think most of it is the truth. If there are monsters entrenched here, then our original plan to spend the night in the town in front of us will probably have to be changed. Shen Huayuan thought for a moment and said.

"Monsters are more difficult than ordinary demons, we can avoid them or try to avoid them, we will go overnight tonight, bypass Qingyan Town in front, and rest when we get to Cumulus Mountain." Shen Yu also frowned.

"That's fine. Shen Luo nodded in agreement.

So, everyone gathered and buried all the corpses on the ground, and then spared the Qingyan Town, which had been abandoned for many years, and left from the ten thousand peach forests outside the town.

......

Outside Qingyan Town, 10,000 acres of peach forest.

The peach forest, which was supposed to be full of life, is now dry and solid, and there are cracks and scorched traces everywhere on the ground, and all the peach trees around it have completely died, and the black branches are like desperate hands, reaching out to the sky.

Gradually, the sky darkened, and the shadows of the dead trees around were everywhere, and the people of the Shen family walked in it, and they could vaguely hear the whispering sound of a whimper when the night breeze blew through the treetops.

Shen Luo and Shen Yu shared a carriage and walked at the front of the team.

"You don't have to be too nervous, it's not a good thing to be nervous for a long time. Shen Luo saw that Shen Yu on the side looked stiff, and couldn't help but remind.

Since he began to cultivate the three-star demon slaying supernatural power and introduce Xinghui into his body, his speed of breaking the ban in his body has increased greatly, and now he has recovered the strength of the middle stage of soul condensation, and his divine sense can be released a little, if there is danger approaching, he can still detect it in advance.

"The habit I developed before, whenever I leave Chunhua City, I will keep myself vigilant at all times when I go outside, and I can't change it. Shen Yu was slightly stunned, and then smiled.
