Chapter 147
was about to go out of the gate, but saw a group of people coming towards him, led by the monk Jindan Early, followed by two monks from the foundation building period.
Mo Ghost turned slightly to make way for them, and did not leave immediately.
"Lord Castle, why are you here?"
The monks in the line recognized the man and hurriedly saluted him. The surrounding monks whispered, and soon became clear about the identity of this monk, who was the city lord of Wangjiang City who was going downstream.
Wangjiang City is the largest city in the Jiujiang region, the only one built by relying on the main basin of the Jiujiang River, and all the other towns are dependent on tributaries, managed by Wangjiang City, and finally subject to the Yanming faction in the southern region.
The current city lord's name is Li Qiang, who only took office a few years ago, and many people don't know each other. But it is said that he cultivated little by little, and he was very loved by the monks in the city.
"Recently, Jiujiang is not very peaceful, there are rumors that I have seen a big demon, at least a fourth-order demon beast, in recent years, many monks have died here, I don't worry, I want to gather people to take a look, the cultivation of the Taoist is obvious to all, and I specially came here to invite. ”
This Li Qiang City Lord was approachable, and when the monk asked, he was not impatient, he answered them one by one, and bowed to the Taoist priest by the way.
When the monks in the temple heard this, they all looked at him with a look of surprise on their faces, and their eyes looked at him with admiration.
"The city lord has an invitation, don't dare to disobey, not to mention that this is a good thing for the benefit of the people, Sanqingguan has received a lot of incense from monks, and it is naturally obligatory when he needs it, I don't know when and where he needs to go down?"
"It's so good, three days later, at the south gate of Wangjiang City, there will be a long worker. Li Qiang smiled, looking kind.
"The city lord should be careful, the big demon on the Jiujiang River is unknown, and you are doing everything yourself, so you must be fully prepared. ”
The monk who spoke first was the monk in Wangjiang City, and he knew the most about this city lord. They had also had such a situation before, and it was only Li Qiang who summoned the nearby monks to solve the trouble.
Although it has been prosperous here for nearly a hundred years, it was also extremely desolate before that, although there were monks from Jindan, but they either joined the sect, or they had already traveled, and there were only a few monks who stayed here for a long time plus a Li Qiang in the early stage of Jindan, otherwise they would not have come to find the Taoist priests in the later stage of Jindan.
Fortunately, although Jiujiang is extremely wide, ranging from tens of meters to 100 meters, the depth is only a few meters, and only a few places are more than ten meters deep, and there are few high-level demon beasts.
"Rest assured, everyone, it'll be fine. Li Qiang arched his hand to the monks.
Mo Ghost looked at the little Taoist priest and the city lord, and he didn't see anything on his face, others just regarded it as a foreign monk who was here to watch the excitement, because there was no reward for hunting demon beasts, at most he could divide the demon beasts, and he didn't come forward to ask her.
"Shall we go?" Xiao Bai turned his head and glanced back, and several people were still greeting.
"Well, go to Wangjiang City and stay for a few days. Mo Ghost recalled their conversation in his mind, touching the soft fur of the little fox in his hand.
"How many days?" Xiaobai raised his head, "Why do you suddenly want to stay here?"
"Did you find anything strange about the little Taoist priest just now?" Mo Ghost didn't answer, but asked.
"Strange?"
"Yes, do you feel familiar?" Mo Ghost saw his little action, and her heart was full of suspicions, she had only seen such an action in one person, it was Qiu Xi in the Yuncheng pawnshop.
But she carefully felt the breath on the little Taoist's body, which was completely unfamiliar, but if it wasn't the same person, it would be too much of a coincidence.
"No, I haven't seen him. "If you've seen it, it'll smell it.
Mo Ghost explained his doubts to it, "Maybe it's a coincidence, right?" The spirit beast's sense of smell and spirit is a hundred times stronger than that of the monk, and even Xiaobai didn't notice the difference, probably she was really mistaken, "It's okay, let's wait and see again, when they catch demon beasts, if they can help, it can be regarded as a good deed." ”
"Then let's go to the city to eat!" Xiao Bai was extremely excited as soon as he entered the city.
"Okay, let you eat enough. Mo Ghost chatted with it, walked along the Jiujiang River to Wangjiang City, and put down the flying sword at the gate of the city.
Everywhere they went, the gates of the city were places where beggars gathered.
Pretending to pass by an old man by accident, he dropped a spirit stone in his arms, glanced at him lightly, and walked over directly.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, put the spirit stone in his sleeve, and knelt on the ground and kept bowing. In the eyes of outsiders, he was only begging from the Mo ghosts who walked by. Mo Ghost glanced back, took out a spirit bead in the storage bag and threw it to him, although this also aroused the envious eyes of the surroundings, but fortunately, it was not so strong as to rob it.
"You're doing a good deed, how did you sneak around?" After entering the city, Xiao Bai looked there and saw that the old man was still kneeling.
"For his good. "If she blatantly hands over a spirit stone, she walks on the front foot, and the old man on the back foot will die.
"Let's go to the restaurant. ”
"Well, stop screaming, you're giving me a headache. ”
"I'm happy!"
······
It was night, there was no figure in the Sanqing Temple, and there was silence all around.
There was a trance on the wall behind the Taoist temple, and after a while, he actually passed through a figure, skillfully came in, and walked to the room next to the main hall, the little Taoist priest in the Taoist temple was meditating on the futon, and it was not surprising to see him come in.
"What's the matter with the Demon Hunter?" the little Taoist priest opened his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly.
"What's going on, naturally, it's business as usual. The person who came was Li Qiang, who came over during the day, and sat on a chair in the room at will.
"Is it your demon beast or the demon beast in the river?" the little Taoist priest straightened out his robe.
"Naturally, it's in the river, I've already become the lord of the city, and there's no point in putting the demon beast in. Li Qiang cocked his legs, it was obvious that Zhou Zheng's eyebrows and eyes looked a little evil at the moment.
In order to become the lord of this city, he had caught a live fourth-order demon beast several times before and put it into the river, and then went over to subdue it himself. Although it costs a lot of money, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it is a good way to win over the people's hearts.
"Be careful yourself, I probably won't make a move. The little Taoist priest opened his eyes and looked out the window.
"Oh, why is that?" Li Qiang heard this, straightened his body, and leaned forward slightly.
"One of the monks who came here during the day was my old time, and if she was still there that day, I was afraid that she would be recognized. This Taoist priest, that is, Qiu Xi, took off the mask on his face, revealing his original appearance, and looked like he had grown up a lot.
"Old times? I don't know which old time?" Li Qiang looked at Qiu Xi with an inquiry, as far as he knew, this person has always been a casual cultivator, and they have known each other since they first built the foundation, when is there more old time?
"It's nothing to do with you," Josie looked at him with a warning in his eyes, after so many years, he also knew what kind of character this person was, if it wasn't for his kindness, he would never have worked with him for so long, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, she's not something you can mess with." ”
Mo Ghost did not hide his identity later, Qiu Xi knew it, and coupled with the recent news of her marriage, it was definitely an existence that could not be provoked.
"Then you have to tell me whether it's a man or a woman, what he looks like, and what clothes he wears, right?" Li Qiang rolled his eyes, and saw that he didn't look like he was joking.
"She's the same as you, and she also has the mask on my face, and you can't find her. Qiu Xi hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say Xiaobai, just warned him, "I can recognize it because she didn't hide her aura, and you will know if you touch it." ”
"Cheng, I've been avoiding people when I see them recently!" Li Qiang couldn't ask anything, so he changed the topic, "I'm here to go down and have a look, how is it, is there anything abnormal?"
"No, let's go down and have a look. Josh stood up and put the futon away.
Li Qiang walked over to him, held the edge of the wooden board in his hand, and lifted it up, revealing a passage wide of one person below, which was extremely dark.
The two walked countless times, but they didn't even hit the light, and walked directly down.
At the end of the passage, a spacious stone chamber appears in front of you, surrounded by moonstones on the walls.
The entire stone chamber was divided into left and right sides, and in the open space on the right, there were several puppets, bowing their heads and not moving, monks and mortals alike. Behind the golem is a pool of flames with an incompletely burned corpse on top of it, which appears to have failed to craft.
On the left side of the stone room, the ground was covered with dense runes, and in the middle of the runes, a black flower was in the middle, and a black seed stood on it. On the wall behind the left, there are several secret passages, also covered with runes, and I don't know where they extend.
"After absorbing so many souls, it still hasn't been able to sprout, it seems that it's really not easy!" Li Qiang stood outside the rune and stared at the black seed on it.
Qiu Xi first went over to take a look at his puppet, and when he saw that there was no problem, he also came here.
"What the hell is this?"
"I've said it all, I'll tell you when it sprouts. Li Qiang avoided his gaze and kept looking at the seeds, how could he get more souls?
Josie looked at him and never let go of his doubts.
Although this person helped him at the beginning, he was definitely not a good person, and his every move had his own deep meaning. He taught Josh how to make a puppet, but he had to take away the stripped soul and nourish his seed. Those passages in the rear are connected to the Jiujiang outside, and there are formations engraved on them, which will attract the souls in the river, all for this.
Over the years, Qiu Xi has heard a lot of news through the Taoist temple, and the two have cooperated to arrest many monks, some of whom are domestic violence and some are bullied, and these monks are either made into puppets or thrown directly into the flame pool.
"You'd better not lie to me. Josh grabbed him by the collar.
"How so?" Li Qiang smiled and took his hand away. Although this person is only in the late stage of foundation building, the situation is special, there are spiritual qi and demonic qi in his body, the advanced speed is extremely fast, and there are many means, so it is not appropriate to tear his face now.
