Chapter 214: Beyond the Central Plains
The autumn wind rises, and everything withers.
The earth is vast, and the loess is desolate.
There are no people to see along the way, there are few villages, the land is vast and sparsely populated, but I saw a few ancient temples on the high hill.
This is Chazhou, although it still belongs to the jurisdiction of the Great Wei, but in fact it is no longer the land of the Central Plains, except for the Wei people, most of them are Rakshasa people, Rong people, Xiyi people, the biggest thing in Chazhou is not the history of the thorn, but the king of the North Cha.
The people here don't believe in the Tao and believe in Buddhism.
Buddhism came from the north thousands of years ago, in addition to the deep-rooted Daomen of the Great Wei Dynasty, Zhou, Yu, Shu, Chen four countries, Buddhism and Taoism are prosperous.
A donkey pulls the cart past, and the wheels of the cart run over the loess on the ground, leaving two rows of ruts.
The Taoist sat cross-legged in front of the car blowing the wind and meditated.
The donkey general looked at the dead trees, the barren grass, and even the mountains were bare, which showed that the land here was barren.
Sighing.
"Sir, you have to prepare some good ones in the future, or you won't have anything to eat and drink on the road behind." ”
The donkey general dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and his favorite thing on weekdays is the bustling downtown of Kyoto, and the least disliked is the poor countryside.
"General Donkey has a heart, your lord and I have already prepared enough. "The Taoist had expected everything for a long time.
"And the little donkey!"
"Master, you see that the donkey generals have lost a lot of weight recently. After hearing this, the donkey general immediately turned his head and shouted.
"Peace of mind. "The empty dust is indifferent.
The donkey general suddenly calmed down, and the old man still remembered his hard work and hard work along the way.
The Taoist continued: "Although the road to the northwest is barren, there is still no shortage of forage. ”
The clouds and mist shrouded and appeared.
Yun Jun looked at the sky and surroundings sensitively: "Dao Jun, why do I think there is something strange in this state?"
Kongchenzi didn't move, as if he had already sensed this abnormality: "What's abnormal?"
Yun Jun's perception and divine sense were the most powerful and expansive among the Dharma Protectors, and he looked around.
"A strong sense of depression pressed on my heart, there should be some powerful existence in Chazhou, but I couldn't find any trace of Qi, and the smell in the air was different. ”
"It's like the smell of the power of incense, but it doesn't feel the same. ”
"This is not normal. ”
Empty Dust nodded.
"Don't worry. ”
"Since you're here, you can always see it. ”
Further on, he saw a deserted village.
I don't know how long the village has been abandoned, the road passes directly through the village, and the walls of the earthen walls are blown by the wind to only half or even the root of the wall.
At first glance, it smells like a ruin.
The donkey cart approached the entrance of the village and followed the road to pass through it.
But when he got closer, he found that a man in a coarse linen cloak was sitting at the entrance of the deserted village, as if waiting for something.
He also heard the movement of the donkey cart approaching, and immediately turned his head to look.
Instead of a human face, a playful grimace mask was revealed.
The originally somewhat terrifying ghost face, because of the addition of a few funny beards, it no longer looks so crazy, but a little more intimate.
He sat on the side of the avenue with a broad-bladed long knife and a big horse gold knife, and no matter how he looked at it, it felt like a robbery.
The donkey cart passed by and headed straight for the village.
"Hey!"
The man finally spoke, wanting to stop the donkey cart and the Taoist who had entered the village, but he just listened to the voice, and it was a woman who was sitting at the entrance of the village like a bandit.
"There are youkai in the village, let's take a detour!"
Her voice was long, languid, and weak, but not cold.
The donkey cart was still moving forward, and the Taoist on the cart sat quietly and closed his eyes as if he did not hear his shout, only the donkey looked back at the man, but his pace did not stop.
You can't see your expression with a mask, but your words say everything.
"Shh
"It's another outside, and the head iron doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. ”
Not long after the donkey cart entered the deserted village, the contents sensed that someone had entered the village, and the ground began to shake.
The ground of the road in front of it arched layer by layer, as if something was shuttling underground, coming towards the donkey cart and the Taoist.
Then he broke through the ground.
I saw a scaly beast three feet away rushing towards the donkey cart, carrying flying stones and wild sand.
In this deserted village, there are really monsters as the man said.
This is a pangolin demon who has been hiding in the ground, hungry for several days, and finally saw people at this time, and couldn't hold back anymore.
On the donkey cart, the Taoist was still meditating and enlightening, and his body did not move.
But the corner of the donkey pulling the cart showed a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and he almost drooled when he looked at the three-zhang long demon body in his eyes.
If the master doesn't prepare, he will do it himself, and he will have enough food and clothing!
Today you can have a good meal of beating teeth.
The donkey general shook his mouth, his tongue dangling in his mouth, and the fire in his mouth surged, thinking about whether it should be steamed or boiled.
A figure shuttled by, pointing its toes on the roof of the carriage, leaping up and slashing at the monster.
This long knife is still a magic weapon, and it directly cuts through the monster's sturdy scale armor, and blood splatters everywhere.
"Demons, don't hurt people. ”
The donkey general was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't know whether to make a move, and it spit out this fire, not only the pangolin was ripe.
People are probably cooked.
The pangolin demon wailed, and immediately fought back angrily.
Directly carrying the injury, the ghost-faced man crashed into the deserted village together, and the layers of walls continued to collapse, and the ghost-faced man didn't know what kind of strange method he was cultivating, and his body was extremely strong, so he was not injured, and he was still fighting with the demons.
It didn't seem like the first time the pangolin had fought the Ghostface, and the two were unusually familiar with each other.
One is sharp, the other is strong, and the fight is half a catty.
The ghost-faced man's moves to kill the demons were extremely fancy, and they were all extremely handsome, shouting the names of the moves while fighting back.
Obviously, what he killed was just a little monster who didn't even have a powerful demon and only relied on his demon body to be mighty, but he played the momentum of a peerless battle for 300 rounds.
Finally, he finally cut off the head of the pangolin demon with a single sword.
"Scratch!"
The demon's massive head rolled to the ground, and the ghostface took out a golden bowl from under his broad linen cloak in exhaustion.
The golden bowl bloomed with golden light, draining the pangolin demon's body of demon blood essence, sealing it into it, and finally being put into the sleeve by the ghost-faced man, leaving only a demon torso corpse.
The ghost-faced man then took out a piece of cloth, wrapped the head of the pangolin demon, which had shrunk and dried up several times, and carried it on his back.
The donkey general stared at her, this guy is very clean!
At this point, the ghost-faced man finally stopped.
Tired like a dead dog, he struggled to get close to the donkey cart, holding on to the handlebar, and looking at the Taoist on the cart.
Violently holding his breath, his chest kept shaking together.
Panting for a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence.
"The old lady played so well, why didn't she exclaim and be grateful?"
Kong Chenzi was stunned for a long time, facing his extremely expectant gaze, and finally could only slap his face in embarrassment: "Bang!"
"Shh
Obviously there was a lot of joy in his eyes, but he said with disgust.
"It's too perfunctory. ”
"Wasn't my posture handsome enough?"
"Or is the action of killing demons not sharp enough?"
The ghost-faced man chattered in pieces, and the Taoist above didn't say a word, just looked at his mask.
Because under the mask are a pair of emerald green eyes, which are completely different from ordinary people.
"Why don't you speak, do you look at me and be afraid of me with a mask?" she seemed to not like others staring at her mask and eyes, and immediately turned her head away, tightening her pale coarse linen cloak.
"Who is Your Excellency?" the Taoist finally asked.
The ghost-faced man's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped on the wheel of the carriage, and finally could shout out his proud identity with full momentum and logic.
"I am the Demon Sealing Mage of the Demon Sealing Temple, specializing in slaying demons and demons, and so far I have dozens of demon lives under my command, and there are countless people who have saved you who almost died in the mouth of the demon. ”
"Just call me Grimace Mage. ”
Grimacing looked at the Taoist: "Who are you?"
The Taoist said, "Gao Xian." ”
Grimace happily squeezed into the carriage and patted the Taoist on the shoulder.
"I've been guarding this monster for days, and this dead pangolin is completely consumed by me. ”
"You're just in time!"
"Lure this monster out, or I'll have to go with it. ”
"You've done me a great favor by coming, but I saved your life, and you owe me more. ”
His eyes lit up when he saw wine and food on the table in the carriage.
"I'm starving. ”
"I saved your life, can you eat something?"
Kongchenzi didn't say anything: "Please." ”
He happily climbed into the carriage with his ass cocked and brought out the saucer and flask together.
However, when he was eating, he deliberately turned his face away, and carefully lifted the ghost face, revealing only his mouth and gobbling it up.
After eating, pull off your mask and point to the road ahead.
"If you go ahead, it should be the Rakshasa County, I just happened to be on the way, and I can show you the way. ”
Kong Chenzi nodded, and the donkey cart moved forward, heading towards the Rakshasa county.
Grimace looked at the donkey curiously.
"You don't drive it, you don't say anything, it runs on its own?"
"And so strong and fat?"
"Wouldn't it be a monster too? Be careful, these demons often disguise themselves as ordinary poultry, donkeys, and horses, and harm people quietly. ”
The donkey general glared back at her fiercely, and the carriage sped up so violently that it almost threw the grimace off.
Recently, I haven't eaten or drunk well, and I've lost a lot of weight.
