Chapter 682: Old Roe Deer
At ten minutes after sunset, Fang Duan finally got into Cong Miao's carriage, took Rong Yue, and went with Cong Miao to explore the place where those beast demons appeared. They changed into the cloth clothes of ordinary people, and changed the secret place where the carriage was parked to walk.
Soon, Fang Duan discovered a strange thing. The people passing by around them all looked nervous, dragging their families and carrying large and small burdens, and the direction they went was the opposite of Fang Duan and the others.
Rong Yue stopped a middle-aged man who was hurrying away with his head down, and asked politely, "This big brother, where are you going?" The man seemed to be startled by Rong Yue, and his body involuntarily dodged backwards, and when he saw that it was a person who stopped him, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Good guy, you little brother, it really scared me, and I thought it was those beasts and demons catching up." You ask me where I'm going, ahem, I don't know where I'm going, but I'll get out of here first. ”
"Why is that?" Fang Du asked, "Could it be because of those beast demons?" Cong Miao had told him that those beast demons had not harmed anyone, so why were these people so panicked in front of them? The middle-aged man told them, "You're right, those beast demons are making trouble! At first, they just wandered around and didn't make contact with people. But today, for some reason, those beasts suddenly drove us out of our homes with sticks in hand. A few stunned people wanted to compete with them, but they were immediately surrounded and beaten with a blue nose and swollen face. In order to save our lives, we had to hurriedly pack a few pieces of clothing, and the family first found a place to take refuge. ”
After speaking, he looked at the direction in which Fang Du and the three of them were walking, and asked, "You three seem to be strangers, I advise you not to go any further." A few years ago, I heard the old people talk about beasts and demons hurting people and eating people, and I always thought it was a big joke, but I didn't expect that now it was my turn, and I did evil, alas!"
After saying that, the middle-aged man hurriedly continued to hurry. Fang Duan looked at Cong Miao worriedly, "Lord Wang, I didn't expect that the most worrying thing still happened. Such a huge number of beast demons will never appear for no reason, they must have some purpose. Rong Yue, no matter what happens for a while, you have to do your best to protect the prince, if there is anything unusual, you can leave the prince first, leave me alone, understand?"
Although Rong Yue knew that if he really got to that point, he was afraid that he would not be able to help Fang Duan, but he still said worriedly, "Sect Master, do we have to risk our lives? We can go back first and mobilize some people to help, it would be appropriate." Fang Du shook his head and said, "If there are too many people, the movement will be too big, and the most important thing at the moment is to figure out their purpose, the fewer people the better." ”
Cong Miao regretted a little, "If I had known this, this king should have sent people to exterminate those beast demons in one fell swoop." Fang Du smiled, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, maybe things will take a turn for the better." ”
When the people passing by the three of them became sparse, Fang Dui saw a small village in the distance. It was already time to make dinner, but the chimneys in the village were quiet, except for one place where dense billowing white smoke was rising, and the sound of barbecue was constantly coming.
Fang Du motioned for Cong Miao and Rong Yue to slow down, trying not to make too much noise. The village was at the foot of the mountain, and the three of them climbed halfway up the mountain along a winding path, and then quietly observed the situation in the village under the cover of large rocks and wild grass.
Beside the blazing fire, twenty or thirty beast demons were happily gathered in one place, and the chickens, ducks, geese, and even a pig collected from the village were bloodied, cut into large pieces, skewered with branches, and placed on the fire to roast.
Seeing this situation, Cong Miao couldn't help but snort coldly, "Hmph, a group of beasts with hairy hair and drinking blood have even learned to look like people!" Fang Duan reminded him, "It's true that they eat animals, but they are not completely pure beasts. The prince needs to remember that they are beast demons, they have thoughts, the ability to act, and even some spiritual power, which ordinary people and ordinary soldiers cannot resist. When Cong Miao heard this, he smashed his fist on the big stone in front of him with hatred, "Don't let this king catch them, otherwise they will be roasted and eaten like livestock on the fire!"
Rong Yue couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Lord Wang has good teeth, these beast demons, if they want to cultivate and walk on their legs, it will take one or two hundred years, and what we see, to put it mildly, must be four or five hundred years old." After living for so long, the meat must be old and can't bite it. When the time comes, don't break your word, we must see how the prince eats their meat!"
At this time, an incomparably familiar voice appeared in the midst of this group of beast demons. Fang Du suddenly smiled dumbly, and said to Cong Miao and Rong Yue, "This time, I saw an old acquaintance, you guys are waiting here, I'll go back!"
The flickering light of the fire shone on the faces of those beasts and demons of different shapes, and it was terrifying in an instant. Some of them are cattle and sheep and other livestock, and some are fierce beasts such as tigers and wolves, but now they are very harmonious together.
"Eat, eat all! Since he was imprisoned in Jiulong Dingzhong, Lao Tzu has never eaten such delicious meat!"
"Who says it's not? Hmph, all these years, not to mention meat, I can't even eat grass!"
"Fortunately, that stupid boy broke the Nine Dragons Ding, and our brothers were able to get out! Eat, eat, it's not too late for everyone to have a good time and say anything else!"
The beast demons ate their mouths full of oil, and they were very happy, and even a few beast demons brought a few jars of wine and distributed them to the other companions. And a lonely figure sat in the corner, seriously gnawing on a cold and hard nest head. Fang Du spotted the figure, tiptoed over, and then quietly stretched out a hand and patted it lightly on the back.
The figure was startled, and quickly turned around, and when it saw Fang Dui's face clearly, it was first startled, and then it actually opened its mouth and smiled. When Fang Duan was on the mountain, he recognized it, it was the old roe deer in the demon tower.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
The two asked each other the same questions, and laughed together. Fang Du said, "I didn't expect you and I to meet here. They're all eating meat, why don't you go?" the old roe deer put the last piece of the nest in his mouth and chewed it carefully for a long time before swallowing it, "I'm a vegetarian, even if I have a little cultivation, I don't want to be like them." How are you, how are you doing after you get out of the Kowloon Ding?"
