Zhang Yu walked out of this dilapidated building, and before he had gone far, he saw Cai Yu coming briskly from outside, and his figure actually showed a kind of fluttering appearance when moving, as if he had never touched the ground, but it was not in a hurry, but there was a sense of elegance and chic.

Cai Hui also saw him at this time, and his figure was as if he had no substance, and he froze. With a look of surprise on his face, he asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, are you okay?" You drove the assistant back, but did you find anything?"

Zhang Yu clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you Senior Brother Cai for your concern, I'm fine, I just met a spiritual creature, and I've dealt with it." ”

Cai Yun's expression tightened, and he said, "Where is it?"

Zhang Yu turned to the side and said, "Senior Brother Cai come with me." ”

He took Cai Hui back to his previous position, and when the latter looked up, he saw the big python lying on the wall.

Cai Hui didn't seem to exert much force, and her body pulled up out of thin air and came to the top of the wall. He checked the python and found that it was indeed a spiritual creature, and there was still a little remnant of spiritual brilliance on it, and the cause of death was also clear at a glance, it was killed by a sword piercing the skull.

He couldn't help but admire: "I heard that when Senior Brother Zhang killed the newt, the wound was also on the skull, but unfortunately I didn't see such exquisite swordsmanship. ”

Zhang Yudao: "Senior Brother Cai has a good reputation, and he will have a chance in the future." ”

Cai Yu looked around again, and couldn't help but notice the collapsed stone wall, he couldn't help but show surprise when he saw the smooth section that was obviously cut open by a sharp weapon, and then looked at the Xia sword that Zhang Yu had always held in his hand, and his eyes showed a hint of understanding.

He said, "Senior Brother Zhang, such a big spiritual creature is worth a lot of gold yuan when converted, what are you going to do with it?"

Zhang Yudao: "Is there a case in the Xuanfu?"

The rules of the Xuanfu are not like those of the Duhu Mansion and the School Palace, and he is still gradually groping.

Cai Yu said with a smile: "Normally, the rules of the Xuanfu are the same as the rules of the Metropolitan Protectorate, but we were sent out by the Xuanfu to do things, so all the harvests outside can be handled by us, just record them in writing, corroborate each other, and go back to have an explanation." ”

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said: "This time the four of us came out together, and the harvest should be counted as the four of us, but my share will be left to the school in Xiaoshan Town, and it is not easy for them." ”

Cai Hui praised and said, "Senior Brother said it well, well, this strange monster was killed by Senior Brother Zhang alone, I shouldn't have coveted this share, but since Senior Brother Zhang said so, I will also accept it with shame, and give my share to Xiaoshan Town." ”

Speaking of this, he thought for a while, and said: "Don't tell the two brothers Wen and Wen De about this, it's not easy for them, they rely on going out to do things for the Xuanfu on weekdays to save some savings, if they know that we do this, I'm afraid they will be embarrassed to take it, I'll make some other arrangements later." ”

Zhang Yudao: "Senior Brother Cai is thoughtful, so I will do what Senior Brother Cai wants." ”

Cai Ying smiled, stepped on the head of the python, and said, "Such a big python, I need to go to the town to find someone to move, and the junior brother will go back with me?"

Zhang Yudao: "No, I'll go around a few more times so as not to leave any hidden dangers." ”

Cai Yu nodded and said, "It's okay, then the junior brother is himself, and I will call someone by myself." He lifted up his hand, arched himself, and came down from the height, and in a moment his steps quickened, and he went away as he had come.

Zhang Yu walked to the place where the python was. When he talked to Chen Zheng, he had specifically asked him if there were any traces of spiritual creatures around, but Chen Zheng said that there had been no trace of spiritual creatures around him, and he had not heard of any townspeople being eaten in the town before, and there were no large beasts around that could be regarded as food by the big python, and even if there were, most of them were killed by the townspeople, so this big python seemed to pop out suddenly.

He walked around, and soon found the traces of the python's movement, and it took him a long time to come to a collapsed temple, which led to the pit below.

Judging from the remaining stone steps inside, there was a downward passage here before, which was once buried, but it was squeezed back open from the inside out, and this is undoubtedly where the python's nest is.

He closed his eyes for a moment, and found nothing unusual in the heart lake, so he walked inside, and unexpectedly, it was not very deep, and he quickly reached the bottom.

He looked around, and it was supposed to be a cellar for sacrificial objects, with broken clay pots and some fine gold and silver objects, and the walls were painted with gray and old colorful frescoes, but there were no imaginary animal bones.

Judging from the area of this cave, it is only barely enough for this giant python, but it seems to be too narrow as a nest, and from the traces left behind, it can also be seen that the python should not stay here for a long time.

Could it be that this python really wandered from somewhere else, or is it ...... Ground floor?

He couldn't help but think of the ancient lake that dried up, and the underground river.

As he pondered, he was unconsciously attracted by the picture on the wall, which showed the figure wearing the costume of the Yidi, but the gesture pointed in a certain direction under his feet.

But that's wrong.

The Yidi people are a race that believes in the gods of the sea, and they are very taboo about the power from the abyss and the underground, so the murals painted by the Yidi people have never been in a downward posture, and all the figures are a picture of looking forward or looking up to the sky, even if they kneel, they are also facing upwards and holding their hands high.

Once this happens, it's either a fake or something special.

He approached and looked where the figure was pointing, and found a protruding part, roughly in the shape of a diamond. So he raised his hand and wiped it, and a few pieces of wrinkled skin fell off it, revealing a small patch of gold inside.

After brushing away all the coverings, the thing finally revealed its true appearance, but it was a small gold plate the size of a palm, and a string of strange words were engraved on it.

The reason why I use strings is because the words are like branches entwined, and it seems to be one, and it seems to be many.

He had a feeling that the appearance of the python might have something to do with it.

If so, it is not appropriate to leave it here.

After thinking about it, he carefully peeled off the wall, wrapped it in cloth and put it in his sleeve, and prepared to take the time to go to the Xuanwen Hall to check the documents and see where the writing came from.

Because there was nothing to be found here, he walked out of the inside, and when he returned to the original place, the people who had come to carry the python had already arrived, so he simply returned to Xiaoshan Town with everyone.

The townspeople in the town heard that the new Xuanfu Dao Chiefs had killed a spiritual python, which immediately caused a sensation, and they all rushed to see the excitement, and when they saw that this python was so huge, they couldn't help but thank Zhang Yu and his party.

They had no idea that there was such a spiritual monster so close to them, and if they came out to eat people, relying on those guns and guns in the town, there was nothing they could do about it.

For this reason, the mayor threw another feast, which continued into the evening.

After the banquet, Cai Yu brought Zhang Yu and the Wen brothers to communicate, except for the giant python in today's ruins, there were no special discoveries in the other three directions.

Wen De said excitedly: "Zhang Jun is really good, when he came out before, those gentlemen were not as powerful as Zhang Jun." ”

When he heard that this python still had his own share, he was overjoyed, and since he had just now, he kept sending good words, and even his cousin couldn't see it when he heard it.

But he didn't care, in his opinion, he had taken all the benefits, so shouldn't he say a few more good words? If he could get the benefits by blowing a few words, then he was willing to blow it every day.

Cai Ying smiled and proposed: "Senior Brother Zhang, two senior nephews, we can stay for half a day tomorrow, if there is nothing else to discover, then leave here and go to the next Zhutun Town as soon as possible, what do you think?"

The three of them had no opinion.

Seeing this, Cai Yu didn't say more, and after separating, they went back to rest.

The next day, everyone got up early, and still went to investigate in all directions, but they also did not find anything unusual, so after the afternoon, the group said goodbye to everyone in Xiaoshan Town, and left here under the reluctance of everyone.

After going out for a while, Zhang Yu glanced back and saw that there were still many townspeople still waving there.

He knew in his heart that the people of Xiaoshan Town were warm to them, and that was because they brought a connection to the civilized world.

Although these townspeople are well fed and clothed, they are surrounded by loneliness and loneliness, and their lives are constantly threatened.

But whether it is the capital or the Xuanfu, this place must be maintained, because once the footprint of civilization retreats, then this place will once again retreat into the wilderness.

Not only here, but all the garrison towns that are going to be in front of you are like this. They were like nails, torches, firmly wedged into the wasteland, so that the light of civilization from Tianxia could continue to maintain in this land.

And the Eastern Court Protectorate itself, why is this not the case?

After Xiaoshan Town gradually disappeared from sight, the group continued to walk in a southeasterly direction.

After an afternoon of running, a wide river running east-west appeared ahead. This is the Ji River, which is a tributary of the Dan River in the same way as the Honghe River in the north of Ruiguang City.

The group walked along the river, and soon saw a rainbow-shaped wooden arch bridge across the two banks, but at this moment the bridge seemed to be guarded, and before they could get closer, there were several warning firecrackers sounded.

......
